Much appreciate your scholarly view on it.
Maybe I”ll write the guy and ask for his sources.
Christ will probably return first but shouldn’t hurt.
You’re exceedinglyi welcome
and quite worth it . . . all penguins agree.
Aha...you brought out the secret weapon...cute baby pictures!
Not fair, not fair at all! Cheers.
It just captured my inner response to your kind post
better than anything else I could think of.
So now you know that popes have people who hate them. And for the usual reasons: they have agendas of their own.
How do you know that the author of these words did not intend this meaning? IF the traditional view of the Eucharist was already existent in the Church at the time, then he would have intended it so. It is a liturgical formula. Very likely the Gospel writers and Paul simply lifted it from the liturgy. So —my question—how do you know they did NOT, and why do you assume they you know better than I what he intended?
Writers approriate words and give them new connotations. The term substance was given new meaning by the Church beginning with the Church councils. —was “invented,” as opponents would say, a non-Scriptural term, in order to uphold was was presented as the traditional view of Jesus as God.
i agree, the body can’t be in rebellion to the head, a house divided can not stand. the question is, are you and i in the body?
ah, but the Scriptures say there is only ONE baptism, not 2 or 3.
privately speculating what one believes the Scriptures are saying is no substitute for following the Church authorized by the Lord to TEACH. our duty is to learn and pass the faith onto others. whether they accept or not, we can’t control.
no one was ever told to be baptized in the Scriptures to follow Jesus. they were told to wash away their sins.
ask yourself, how can they be guilty of the Body and Blood of Christ, if He were not really present? they would be guilty of eating bread otherwise.
i agree, read John 6.
Ok then....enough said with you. You just simply haven’t a clue. So continue to abide by your traditions and the volumes of teachings you’re required to adhere to as a catholic. No skin off my nose...you’ve been warned, enlightened and shown the truth. Unfortunately you have zip zero discernment ability even with those who post. None.
I’m not going to continue to attempt conversation or otherwise....you just don’t get it, but the day will indeed come where you will see clearly the error of your ways.
some can’t accept it, but St Augustine was thoroughly Catholic in his theology. i won’t even get into his teaching on purgatory, confession, and prayers to the saints, their head might explode!!
OT = types and shadows
NT = Jesus fulfills the OT, the need for types and shadows is removed!!
Jesus is our sin offering!
i’m sure St Justin won’t care, he will be returning with Jesus in the clouds.
gee, St AUGUSTINE never thought he was torturing the Scriptures!
