Show me where Jesus rescinded the law against eating blood. If He and the apostles ate blood they would have been sinning.

Every Mass is a miracle. The Eucharist is our daily bread, our manna come down from heaven. Praise Jesus, body, blood, soul and divinity in the Holy Eucharist. Just as Christ, in a moment of time and at a particular place, assumed our humanity, we at a moment in time and at a particularly place partake in Christ’s divinity.

Thanks for your thoughtful post. Your take on World and Church History, and the logic throughout your post is somewhat skewed. Approximately 180 degrees.

So the apostles, which the New Testament was written from, were lying? Clearly “take and eat, this is my body”... “Drink from it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed for many”

So I guess Christ lied also, right.

You can argue all kinds of things, but the Eucharist comes straight from the Lord himself!

Catholics wrote the New Testament and people say they are wrong???

Read about the early Church fathers. God Bless.

Yes. But you made your assertion totally gratuitously, while I backed my assertion up with proof.

The Holy Spirit must be moving within you to make that statement of faith and understanding.

May the faith and peace of Christ always live within you.

The Eucharistic species ARE the flesh and blood of Jesus, and SIMULTANEOUSLY function as symbols of flesh and blood.

Seems like you're hedging a bit there Art.

Catholics on this board have repeatedly denied they are symbolic and are indeed flesh and blood.

So which is it?

And you still have a Jesus that sinned by eating blood.

My question as well. I believe that all of us who receive our salvation from Jesus should focus on what unites us, not what divides us.

What if one denomination is teaching that one is a helper or advocate other than the Holy Spirit?

What if one denomination is teaching someone tells Jesus what to do or who to save?

Should we be in agreement with that?

Had to look that one up (had forgotten). Yes, the Irish fireball was about as fond of the Catholic Church as old James Joyce. And I like everything on your “About” FR page.

I think that all of us help others know Jesus by our words and actions. The Holy Spirit guides us, but we have a role that Jesus assigned us.

I also think that we can pray for Jesus and His Father to help others.

We also need to practice magnanimity in how we deal with fellow Christians, NOT to condemn them or raise hate toward them, which I seen in occasional Catholic and Protestants threads here on FR.

>>For Christ, His sacrifice is happening NOW because to Him ther is no past, no future - only His eternal NOW!<<

Was Christ sitting next to the Father on His throne while He was on that cross?

1 John 3:16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.

Laid, past tense.

Hebrews 10:10 And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Once, not on and on.

Jebrews 9:28 so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without sin, to those who are eagerly waiting for him for salvation.

Offered once, not offered over and over and over again.

So you figure one religion is as good as another? Have you ever read the letters to the churches found in Revelation?

Evidentially you are confusing yourself with God

You mortal - God eternal

You subject to time and space - God timeless and infinte

You have a past and a future - God no past, no future only NOW

Methinks you do not understand that God exists outside of time and sace.

It must be very, very, very sad to be a protestant....Christ gave us the Sacraments and you willingly discard them as folly......WOW...I cannot even imagine the depravity of that thought process...

We serve a sinless Jesus. Catholics evidently serve one who sinned by eating blood.

You didn't answer my questions.

Was Christ sitting next to the Father on His throne while He was on that cross?

Nope. No valid excuse. For you, twenty-six Heil Marys and a walk around the block backwards twice for pennance.
