I am not repeating falsehoods, I repeat the verses you guys don't like and try to fast forward past them. In your case that was 1 Cor. 11:23-30, which regardless of the larger context speaks of the literal body and blood of Christ. I also explained that the difference in context is illusory: the Catholic Church IS the body of Christ because we EAT the body of Christ.
your assumption from “opponent” to fellow believer
On what basis? I believe in Him Whom God sent fully. You pick and choose your faith based on what your pastor inculcated in you. No sale. convert to the proper Catholic faith and then we shall be fellow believers. Not sooner. You-all certainly have an interest in the teachings of Christ and that is very good, but it does not mean you -- collectively you-all, -- know these teachings from these He sent. You-all formed your own notions. But you-all were not sent. My Church was.
you have not done the work
What work? The Holy Scripture says what it says. No "work" is necessary to figure out that when someone says "this is my body" and then defends the proposition against a bunch or proto-Protestants, He probably means what He says. When something is not clear -- I do the work: I go to the sources, I find hidden quotes from the Old Testament, I compare translations, I find other usages, I study Greek. But these passages are clear. They are so clear you-all couldn't even mistranslate them for 500 years.
ad hominem attacks against Protestant hermeneutics
Hermeneutics is not a hominus to use ad hominems on it. It is a way to lie about the plain meaning of the scripture. It is a method. The method is false.
Guess what? You were using hermeneutics while you condemned hermeneutics!
Your posts certainly convinced me that you know so much. Unfortunately, most of it if bogus. Still, God is always ready to open eyes and hearts in his time.
I wish you salvation and a good year in 2015.
Good explanation.
Now, how do you explain the ADDITIONS to 'scripture' that Rome teaches?
