we have the same understanding of Christ today as did the early church.
only catholic arrogance would assume otherwise and teach otherwise. sad to see how the catholic church has deviated from the Word.
By “understanding Jesus” was not meant “holding to the basic Christological dogmas,” but “understanding the words of Jesus reported in the gospels.”
What did Jesus mean when he taught that, in order to have eternal life, a man must eat the flesh of Jesus and drink his blood? Who is more likely to have understood those words correctly than St. Paul, the other apostles, and the generation who were taught directly by the apostles?
