LOL! So just grovel and accept the fallible dictates of an anonymous poster? Like Any Griffith used to say, “you’re somethin’ else, you know that?” But no, I have looked at it very closely. Transubstantiation is sophistry on steroids, a late development unheard of in the apostolic age. No physical miracle of God was ever beyond sensory verification. What would be the point? But no, rather than acquiesce to the blaziingly clear use of metaphor in John 6 to describe faith in the crucified Christ, instead transubstantiation prepares the mind to live in a state of perpetual deception. This is antithetical to God’s own holy nature, Who cannot lie, and does not EVER invite us to believe a lie, not even in the name of faith.
“LOL! So just grovel and accept the fallible dictates of an anonymous poster?”
Your use of the words “grovel” and “dictates” show that you have some kind of emotional issue that is clouding your judgment. Too much work for me to take on. (And yes, I am qualified to say that.)
“Transubstantiation is sophistry on steroids, a late development unheard of in the apostolic age.”
Nonsense.
“No physical miracle of God was ever beyond sensory verification.”
Nor is transubstantiation. It must be noted, though, that many miracles were—and are—widely disbelieved.
“But no, rather than acquiesce to the blaziingly clear use of metaphor in John 6 to describe faith in the crucified Christ”
I specifically asked you to spare me whatever mental gymnastics you used to square your denial of scripture with your desire to be a Christian.
