I take the Scriptures as the final authority on any subject it covers, and when Jesus says that His description of "eating His flesh and drinking His blood" are spiritual and not literal, then I'm going to take that as the final word on the matter even if there are men who don't like that and don't agree with it.
This thread is about replacement theology, and believing God when He says that He is not finished with Israel, and I will say again, I'm not interested in getting into a protracted argument that will accomplish nothing.
God bless you, Natural Law.
I am not trying to get into a discussion or debate on Catholic versus Protestant doctrine. I brought up the Real Presence as an example specifically because we disagree on it.
My question goes to the authority of your interpretation, or more specifically, the lack thereof. How is it that you claim that your interpretation, and not that of a fellow Protestant is correct except upon your own authority and how is it that when a finite human mind fails to fully understand the infinite the presumption is that it is the infinite that must bend?
I do not for a minute doubt the sincerity of your love of Jesus. I simply want to better understand your point of view. Peace be with you.
