I never posted my opinion. I clearly stated that my posting was the conclusion of St. Paul and the Early Church Fathers. It is also the position held by 90% of all Christians that have ever lived.
The commandments were not meant to be read by lawyers to change their meaning. They were cut into stone tablets for all to see and obey.
Catholics omit the second commandment, and pretend that it doesn’t exist.
More nonsense to smoke-up the room.
Paul’s writing demolished the pagan alchemy of transsubstantiation. Live with it.
For starters, you need to re-read 1 Corinthians 11.
No one was suggesting that you play in childish games.
-—Paul’s writing demolished the pagan alchemy of transsubstantiation. Live with it.-—
St. Paul:
For I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you,k that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over, took bread, and, after he had given thanks, broke it and said, “This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.”
For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes.
Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will have to answer for the body and blood of the Lord.
A person should examine himself, and so eat the bread and drink the cup.
For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body, eats and drinks judgment on himself.
That is why many among you are ill and infirm, and a considerable number are dying.
And you apparently don’t realize that to a logical thinking believer, the scripture you post demolishes your position.
Catholics are amazing.
So that’s your objection?
That I refuse to play your game?
I’m not playing any games.
Discussing history and Biblical interpretation is not a game.
Aw shucks......
Yes - you’re playing the evil “Taking the definition of “literal” literally” Game - shame on you. Also nicely ironic of you....
Thank you. Although it can be expected of me, since, as a Catholic, I am amazing. Still not amazing enough to get the inflatable bouncing clown reference, though...
Then obviously you do not wear a goatee...
LOL! That must have gone right over your head.
-—And you apparently don’t realize that to a logical thinking believer, the scripture you post demolishes your position.——
I see an assertion, but no argument.
Or a cheesy plastic imitation of one...
The posted scripture is my argument. No suggestion by Paul to inject any mumbo-jumbo satanic priest there between the believer and the bread; just a simple respectful commemoration of the Lord’s death. No magic cookie, no sun worshiper monstrance, just the way the Lord said.

You are indeed a Felix Culpa. The more outrageous you get, the better I feel when I forgive you.
