Isn’t it interesting that Catholic writers used various styles of writing.
I continue to accept 2000 years of Sacred tradition passed down to us by Christ, the Apostles and their successors.
As compared to the interpretations that came from heresies of man. Some pick and choose what they want to understand instead of the way it has been passed down for 2000 years.
I guess we will always have protestors and false prophets.
For your information, Jesus repeated several times and emphasized (Amen, Amen I say) that this was His Body and Blood in the Sacrament of the Eucharist and given to the Apostles and Catholics over the last 2000 years. Whereas His words not to call anyone father were not a commandment like do not commit adultery.
Seek the TRUTH, not what the world says.
We are saved and sealed by GOD’s Grace, not by our merits. We are also instructed by the Word of God to know we are born from above at the moment we are born from above. Try it, you’ll like it!
For your information, there is no sacrament of the Eucharist in the Holy Scriptures...
Jesus never turned wine into blood nor did he turn bread into his flesh or anyone else's...You will not find a single incident in the scriptures where this happened...
All that happened is Jesus claimed, 'this bread is my flesh'...He didn't say I will turn the bread into flesh...Same with the wine...
Had Jesus done what you claim, he would have instructed the apostles to turn these things into flesh and blood...And he would have instructed them on how to do it...
Joh 6:55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
However, the word used for meat does not mean meat...It means food...And that is significant because the bible also says he is a loaf of bread (rye?)...
Joh 6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
So what is it??? Jesus turns the bread into meat (his left arm?) or Jesus turns his flesh into bread???
And the bible of course explains that Jesus was talking spiritual food...
Just what are those traditions Paul was referring to that he handed down that we are to keep that were not included in Scripture?
How do you know?
How do you know theyre from the apostles, Paul in particular?
How do you know theyve been passed down faithfully?
Show us where Paul says that tradition trumps Scripture.
What oral tradition do you keep that is not found in scripture but that you can prove the apostles taught?
What is your source for verifying all of the above?
Please provide the sources for verification purposes.
You'd do better to follow Jesus and 2,000 years of WRITTEN Scripture, that never changes and can be verified by going to the oldest manuscripts in the Hebrew for the OT or Greek in the NT.
He did indeed!
