what is "the Lord's body"?

That, the Gospel does not say. But it does say that the Eucharist is His body. You spirit of inquiry is endearing, but all I do is read the Holy Scripture so that to enlighten you who don't. It is commonly held that the Eucharist contains the body, soul and the divinity of Christ, because it does not seem that "this is my body" in any way separates the entirety of the Second Person of the Trinity from the purely physical components of it.

The rest of your post is amusing but lacks focus. Is there a question to me in it? With all respect, I do not tell you what my opinions are and I equally don't care what your opinions are. If you want to learn what the Catholic Church teaches through the Holy Scripture, I'd be happy to answer. If you want me to learn about your religion, I am fine with mine, thank you.

I do not tell you what my opinions are and I equally don't care what your opinions are.

Then why do you ask or contradict?

I guess just to see if a responder will wear themselves out formulating a rational answer they think might convince you, but which you are going to s___-can no matter what.

But that's not why I answer.

One reason is that I just want to keep on sharpening my tools for a real encounter with a truly rational disciple candidate.

Another reason is to prepare to improve yet another disciple's spiritual maturity. this is not a game for me.

A third reason is to show support to my fellow true believers, while gaining yet more talking points from them. This is not just entertainment for them, either.

A fourth reason is to draw the poison from gainsayers like you, to explore ways to keep you from snatching the good seed from those that supposedly you are to care for, but whose hearts you have hardened toward Christ and corrupted by false doctrine.

And this exercise against resistance is working, and working well to Christ's advantage. I meet with and teach business men to whom your inane and insane unscriptural approach is a joke, but makes them aware of how to destroy or at least to circumvent the silly arguments you Romanists advance.

But neither I, nor my New Testament-believing spiritual kin can let you soak up all our time. There's a time to rehearse strategies and tactics, there's a time to reconnoiter as we pass through,, and there's a time to battle for the souls needing the real Jesus whom we find that you have neglected or abused.

Many of them are answering you right here.

So far, that has been very profitable. Playing with y'all has been useful, but when we're tired of you we put you away and go on to our real work.

If any of us don't respond to your stirring of the pot, it's because we have other fish to fry where the seed has fallen on good ground (deliberately mixing metaphors to make sure you know that metaphors are understood, they work, and they communicate concepts in a rich and complex environment.)

Are you getting this? So, come on.

That (what is "the Lord's body"?), the Gospel does not say.

It certainly does.

That, the Gospel does not say. But it does say that the Eucharist is His body.

No it doesn't that is not scriptural.

The first person to use the term eucharist was Justin Martyr about 150 years after Jesus started the custom of communion at what is commonly referred to as The Lord's Supper.

Another ex post facto error by Catholicism.

Jesus said do this in remembrance of Me

It is commonly held that the Eucharist contains the body, soul and the divinity of Christ

Not by Christians outside of Catholicism. Except maybe a few copy-cat denominations.

I do not tell you what my opinions are

Did you read your whole post before you typed that? Because it isn't factual

Here's some examples of your opinions just from this one post I am replying to.

1) That, the Gospel does not say (that is your opinion and and not factual)

2) it does say that the Eucharist is His body (another opinion not backed up by scripture, the word "eucharist" was not mentioned for about a century and one half. See above)

If you want to learn what the Catholic Church teaches through the Holy Scripture...

I think myself and the other Christians here would rather learn and study what the Holy Scriptures teach us using the Holy Spirit instead of the Catholic Church.

God is a lot more accurate.
