Wow, where do you see the REAL PRESENCE in “You have the WORDS of eternal life. We BELIEVE and KNOW that you are the Holy One of God.

They just add what ever suits their needs...And then they tell us it is bible truth...

No friend, The Holy Eucharist, the Real Presence is prefigured in the Old Testament and over and over again in the New Testament, Our Lord’s very words. The “reformers” rejected the Eucharist because they could not confect it, they rejected the Church and the New Covenant ministerial priesthood.

John 6:54-55
Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you. [55] He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day.

Only in John 6:57 does Our Lord say how He abides in
you and you in Him. In receiving the Eucharist.

John 6:57
He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him.

The thread, mostly disagreement over Scripture since it is
Protestant’s authority. Why? You can give your own meaning
to Scripture. Instead, read the quotes of the first
Christians, some of them knew the Apostles. Did they
believe in the Real Presence. Yes.

John 6:55 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day.

John 6:40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.

John 6:55 is the metaphor.

Instead, read the quotes of the first Christians, some of them knew the Apostles. Did they believe in the Real Presence. Yes.

Unlikely any of your church fathers knew any of the Apostles except for Polycarp...

And since Polycarp never spoke of anything Catholic, we can call him our church father...

Besides, Paul warned us of deceptors and perverters of scripture in his midst while he was preaching and teaching...

John 6:54-55 Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you. [55] He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day.

Joh 6:56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

Well I'm good to go then...Because I eat Jesus flesh and drink his blood, spiritually...But tell me, how do you get into Jesus by eating his flesh???
