On one hand you tell everyone that Christianity is so easy to understand that everyone is capable of doing their own interpretation...there is no need for the Catholic church or any other authority to help us through some of the more complicated situations in the Bible.

Then you come along with a two page diatribe concerning the meaning of one word...petros,petra, rock, pebble, stone, boulder, mountain...good grief, if that is the case lets see what you have to say about "THIS IS MY BODY"....NOW THAT, TO ME, IS PLAIN AND INDISPUTABLE LANGUAGE MEANING ..."This is My Body"...

I learn a lot from mm but none from y’all.

'Call no man father' doesn't sound too complicated...Neither does 'all have sinned'...'A bishop is to have a wife and children' is about as simple as you can get...'Do not let Gentiles drink blood' is not difficult to understand...

So as we can see it's not the complicated things that concern you and draw you to your religion...

And Jesus tells us this about actually "eating" Him....

John 6:63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.

It is SPIRITUAL truth, not physical eating.
