Why are there Catholic funerals?
I haven't seen any Catholic live forever.
They age and die just like everyone else.
What's the matter? Doesn't eating His flesh and and drinking
His blood, as you all believe, work after all?


Christ told us HIS Kingdom is not of this World.
This world will die away.
As he explained for His New Covenant at the Last Supper;

He who Eats his Flesh and Drinks his Blood, will have
Covenental, Eternal (forever) Life in Them.


Why don't you believe in what Jesus said and did?
Why do you not believe St. Paul's warning about the Sacred body:

For He who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner
eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning THE LORD'S BODY."

So you pick and choose what passages to take literally and which to take figuratively or spiritually depending on what Catholic doctrine you want to support, eh?

Because the way Catholics flip between literal and non-literal within one discourse or from verse to verse, or sentence to sentence, indicates no genuine desire to learn and believe what Jesus actually taught and said, but rather smacks of cherry picking verses to support the predetermined conclusion. Or doctrine.

I do. He said the flesh profits nothing, that it’s the Spirit who gives life and the words He spoke were spirit and truth.

If y’all are so bound and determined to believe what Jesus said and taught, are you still calling your priests “Father?”
