Communion "Host" in Dallas Church Grew Fungi, Bacteria Naturally

Yes.

That's pretty scary.

[irishtenor]

Christ did say that this was his body... then they ate it. He was still sitting there, wasn't he? or did he disappear into their gastric tract?

[murphE]

You Catholics seem to take only this one reference literally and you tend to allegorize nearly every other verse in the Bible -- especially those which contradict your peculiar unbliblical doctrines.

No, you Protestants, in order to protest Divinely revealed doctrine, call a "symbol" what you choose to, all the while claiming to go "by the bible" and you don't even agree about what are allegories and what should be taken literally amongst yourselves.

The bible is a Catholic book, yet you want to read apart from the Church and think you have the proper understanding. Big mistake.

[ArrogantBustard]

More or less says it all.

Oh you must be right, it's not like Our Lord can accomplish what seems impossible to our human understanding. /sarcasm

[Rhadaghast]

Perhaps the mold, and natural decay?
The psamlist stated that "the holy one would not suffer decay." Yet consistently this wafer that is the actual body and blood, decays. why is that?

I have to wonder, if the bread was transubstantiated into Christ's literal body and then it was broken it into pieces at the last supper, then what did the Romans nail to the cross?

If Christ were truly incarnate before the crucifixion, then he could not have broken his body and passed it out among the disciples. That would have killed him as it would have killed you or me. Christ was killed on the cross. His body was intact at the time it was nailed to the cross. Nobody ate any of Jesus before his crucifixion. Hence, the statement was allegorical then and it is allegorical now.

[murphE]

Do you think, like Mr. Murphy

Ahem, that's Mrs. Murphy, Mr. Murphy is my husband.

[murphE]

I don't need a lab test to disprove transubstantiation. The taste test works well enough.

This statement indicates you really don't know what transubstantiation means. I suggest you read about it before you reject it. Unless you think you can get by with, "but nobody told me" when you face Our Lord at your judgment. You may not believe this, but I say this in all charity.

[Rhadaghast]

Can you show any biblical referance of where the 'host' was worshipped? Was there even any worship of the litteral boby of Christ while it was dead?

Consistently the RCC will walk on its head to maintain its false idea that it is the only game in town. Then will not even have the guts to say what the council of Trent declared. That all protestents are beyond salvation in any way. What does anathama mean if not that.

[P-Marlowe]

What does it taste like?

[Petronski]

He also said he was a door. Do you worship the door to your church?

Did He instruct us to consecrate doors into Him?

[Petronski]

This statement indicates you really don't know what transubstantiation means.

Nor, apparently does he know what "faith" means.

[murphE]

If Christ were truly incarnate before the crucifixion, then he could not have broken his body and passed it out among the disciples

You believe that there is something Christ is not capable of doing? Oh my, you're in more trouble than I thought. Catholics don't put limits on what God can do just to appease our own limited intellects.

P.S. This sounds like the people who say the world could not possibly have been created in 6 days. [sigh]

[murphE]

What does it taste like?

It tastes like bread. What does God look like?

[SoothingDave]

Bzzt! Wrong answer. Transubstantiation can not be proven or disproven by any test on the elements themselves. This includes senses or scientific insturments (which are but extensions of our senses).

You obviously do not understand the teaching. If you care to learn about it, there are ample resources available. If you desire to remain ignorant, that is your own choice. At least we know what we are dealing with now.

That's because it is bread.

[SoothingDave]

"Before." LOL

God is eternal. You are saying God could not have access to the Eucharist because the Crucifixion hadn't happened yet. God is outside of time.

Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever.

Interesting.

Then will not even have the guts to say what the council of Trent declared. That all protestents are beyond salvation in any way. What does anathama mean if not that.

That's not what Trent declared, you're never beyond salvation until the moment you die and face judgment. If you die adhering to heretical beliefs then you will be beyond salvation, but where there is breath there is hope. If there was no hope for you why would I bother discussing this with you, silly? And I have no qualms about saying it.
