>>>Obtw it’s NOT tradition it’s Scripture!
Scripture according to you. It’s your tradition, almost certainly handed down from other’s tradition.
Some scripture, you hear in accordance with Protestant traditon, other you ignore or wish away or explain away as something meaning not what it says, a ‘symbol.’:
“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him” (John 6:53–56).
“Scripture according to you. It’s your tradition, almost certainly handed down from other’s tradition.”
Galatians 2:20 Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)
20 And I live, now not I; but Christ liveth in me. And that I live now in the flesh: I live in the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and delivered himself for me.
What part of the Scripture can’t you understand? You say tradition, but it’s plain and simple English right there in front of you how can you not understand the words and call it tradition? Obtw I didn’t get my understanding from tradition as I wasn’t raised in a Church. I as and adult searched for the answers about Christianity with many ungodly traditions that I had put into my own unbelieving head. As the Holy Scriptures proved me wrong then I accepted Christ into my life and every since God has revealed more and more of His truth by His Glorious Word.
You on the other hand I’m betting you have never ever looked or searched outside your own little circle of what you call reality.
“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him” (John 6:53–56).”
So Scripture from OT through NT says not to eat blood, don’t you think maybe that is figuratively and not literal or are all those Scriptures wrong? If you claim exception please give me a Scripture and verse.
Leviticus 7:26
Leviticus 17:10
Leviticus 19:26
Deuteronomy 12:23
Deuteronomy 12:16
Deuteronomy 12:24
Deuteronomy 15:23
Acts 15:20
Acts 15:29
Acts 21:25
“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him” (John 6:53–56).”
Since you take this so literal was Jesus a loaf of barley or wheat?
John 6:35 Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)
35 And Jesus said to them: I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger: and he that believeth in me shall never thirst.
“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him” (John 6:53–56).
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.
Eating a wafer puts the wheat in your body. It does not put Jesus in you heart or spirit.
Acts 17:24-25 The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything.
Ephesians 3:14-19 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith-that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Call no man "father."
Why do Catholic ignore Scripture? Why do they claim that it doesn't mean what it says?
Some scripture, you hear in accordance with Catholic teaching/traditon, other you ignore or wish away or explain away as something meaning not what it says:
Call no man Father...
