“Doctrinal differences here.
The more I read of Scripture, the bigger difference between it and the teachings of the Catholic church I saw.
It finally reached a breaking point and the Word of God won out.”
Oh, GOOD. Thank GOD you have come to believe in John 6 where Jesus re-affirms over and over that the bread and wine BECOME his Body and Blood. Protestants “just don’t get it” and align themselves with Judas, who could also not accept this “hard teaching.” “unless you EAT my FLESH AND DRINK MY BLOOD YOU HAVE NO LIFE WITHIN YOU!” Praised be Jesus Christ, present with us today in the sacrifice of the Altar.
Accept no imitations.
Gem:Praised be Jesus Christ, present with us today in the sacrifice of the Altar.
1 Peter 3:18 NASB
For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;
Hebrews 7:26-28 NASB
For it was fitting for us to have such a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners and exalted above the heavens; who does not need daily, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people, because this He did once for all when He offered up Himself. For the Law appoints men as high priests who are weak, but the word of the oath, which came after the Law, appoints a Son, made perfect forever.
The Spirit gives the life. Eating Jesus doesn't help. The flesh is of no help at all.
Couldn't be much plainer.
