“Just to be perfectly clear, your feet do not move when you receive any of the sacraments?”
Just to be perfectly clear, your comment has nothing to do with anything I said.
“You simply tele-port yourself up to take the wafer & wine.”
I’ve never received a wafer and wine. I have received Christ’s Body and Blood. Jesus does all the heavy lifting.
“Just as Jesus is transubstantiated, you are tele-substantiated up to the altar and you absolutely do not do anything...not even swallow. Well, that is a picture.”
If I receive them, I obviously got to the parish. There is no “Their efforts effective” in any of that on my part. God does all the work.
“And, you may wish to reread your remarks because you “clearly” said something about the effectiveness of their teletransportation non-effort.”
Nope. I said no such thing. You’re completely making up words, phrases and ideas I have never expressed. I would expect nothing less from you.
There is something seriously wrong with the Catholic mindset. I am not sure if it like a mental defect, or an intentional departure from reality. They speak one thing, then claim another. They talk of “faith”, but they mean acting out certain behaviors like saying so many paternosters or hail marys. When confronted, they retreat to a world of their own making, lost in the darkness of religiosity, but without any of the truth explained “clearly” in Scripture. They cannot listen to Paul, but they can listen to a string of popes, many of whom killed to get their positions.
Those of us here who cling to Jesus Christ alone, not some apparition of mary or some bone of peter, or some swinging smoke can, call to all of those who might listen. Come out from the whore of Babylon, come out into the light of Christ, alone. If you are being drawn to Him, if you have been given to Him by the Father, then you will hear His voice and leave that monstrosity of dark theological error and cling to Him. You will be clothed in His righteousness, not a righteousness of your own making. You have no hope, unless He rescues you. And, you will be rescued, if He decides to rescue you. That is the biblical Gospel, not Rome’s sick version. But, otherwise, God has excluded you as He excluded Esau.
