“Christ is God incarnate.”


Duh

“The Scripture is the Word of God.”


I’ll add Roman tradition is not the word of God.

“The Word of God says we’re to obey our prelates.”


Can you cite the scripture where it says we are to obey the Pope, who is about 2,000 years removed from Peter and utterly contradicts the Bible?

“Furthermore, those who deny Christ cannot participate in the Eucharist, and the Word of God says those who do not partake of the Eucharist have no life in them. “


You are putting works ahead of salvation. An act that is to be done “as a remembrance of Me” cannot possibly be a spiritual act that determines your salvation. Salvation is a spiritual act, achieved by grace through faith alone, not through any activity of your own. That is why Cornelius and his family were filled with the Holy Spirit the moment they believed in Christ even before they were baptized, gone through confession with a “priest”, and participated in Roman traditions which, at that time, did not even exist.

From the mouth of Christ Himself,
Luke 22:19 Do this in remembrance of me.

The Greek word for "remembrance," "anamnesis," refers to a memorial SACRIFICE. Therefore we once again see how those who interpret Scripture for themselves to suit their personal preconceptions and agenda are obviously incapable of understanding His Word because they have no life in them. They can't possibly correctly interpret His Word until they abandon the worship of their own, Most High and Holy Self, stop insisting that their favorite falsehood is the truth, take up their cross and follow Christ.

It's always interesting to think about what spirit people who interpret Scripture for themselves must really be listening to when they pretend to know what they're saying as they play their Lego Block games with Scripture but end up clearly denying Christ by denying His Word.

have a nice day
