Do You Believe in Eucharistic Miracles?

[GADEL]

The story of a Eucharistic Miracle that happened in Kumasi a city in Ghana in the 1990s. A Protestant man took the picture of the Monstrance during the Corpus Christi procession and after the image was processed, an image of Jesus Christ was the result.

You’re not a newbym Hegewisch Dupal. You know better than to talk about someone without including them in the conversation. Especially when your words are accusatory.

Watch it, Jvette. No personal attacks are allowed on FR.

[Larry Lucido]

I see that your blog was miraculously excerpted down to like one sentence. Amazing!

Moving on.

[Hegewisch Dupa]

Since you insisted in denying the Body of Christ, the term wafer was used (since you’re clearly comfortable with it) when explaining how the Lord is not IN a wafer, but rather what you call a wafer IS the Lord’s Body. Wow, you managed to point out the danger when talking down to an audience who pretends they don’t know better...

[Theo]

You wrote, “Even the Apostles asked for a sign.” What kind of sign were they looking for? A image of a vintage painting on some food?

Consider the words of Jesus:

“An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah” (Matthew 12:39, 16:4).

“Why does this generation ask for a miraculous sign? I tell you the truth, no sign will be given to it” (Mark 8:12).

Did the Apostles really ask to see am image in a piece of bread? They would be horrified by this ...

[Hegewisch Dupa]

fair ‘nuf - my apologies

[Jvette]

Nothing personal in that post, just a general observation.

[Theo]

I’m denying the Body of Christ because I refuse to believe unbiblical heresy? Nah.

Consider the words of the Apostle Paul 1 Cor:11:23-28:

For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes. Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. But a man must examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

Paul calls the bread ... bread! And what is in the cup? Is it blood? No, Paul records Jesus as saying that this cup is “the new covenant IN My blood.” And it’s taken “in remembrance” of Jesus.

We proclaim Jesus’ death by eating the BREAD (to use Jesus’ words and Paul’s words). You can say you’re eating Jesus’ skin, but I’ll defer to Jesus and Paul, who called it ... wait for it ... wait for it ... “bread.”

[Jvette]

I already state quite clearly my opinion on such “signs” and merely expressed a sympathy for people who are so desperate that they would see one or even manufacture one.

As usual, the point is missed in the haste to ridicule or debase rather than debate.

[Theo]

In comment #32, you said that I have “a twisted mind.” Presumably because I haven’t bought into this urban legend about an ancient painting appearing on food somewhere in Africa sometime in the 1990s by some ambiguous “Protestant” “skeptic.”

Saying I have “a twisted mind” IS a personal attack.

[Jvette]

You were not mentioned in the my post.

[Theo]

This discussion is about “story of a Eucharistic Miracle that happened in Kumasi a city in Ghana in the 1990s.”

You affirm signs, and while you may not have bought into this particular urban legend, you affirm similar signs, as well as those who seek them.

Yes, I too have sympathy on those who look to image-emblazoned-food to inspire their faith in Jesus. And the Roman Catholic Church encourages such misplaced faith by not condemning this practice.

I have seen this display and will view it again in October. These are ALL proven by the Vatican! I also have the book -- fascinating!

The Eucharistic Miracles of the World

Catalogue of the Vatican International Exhibition

with a Foreword by

The (Most Rev.) Raymond Leo Burke, D.D., J.C.D.
Prefect of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura
Former Archbishop of Saint Louis

With an extensive assortment of photographs and historical descriptions, the exhibition presents some of the principal Eucharistic Miracles (about 140 panels) that took place throughout the ages in various countries of the world and which have been recognized by the Church. By means of the panels, one can “virtually visit” the places where the Miracles took place.

The exhibition has already visited more than one thousand parishes in Italy and in other countries and has been translated into numerous languages.

The exhibition is comprised of 142 plasticized panels (60x80 cm), made in such a way as to allow them to be hung on any surface.

Your comment #39 says, “An easy task for a twisted mind, I suppose.”

That was in reply to #32, in which Hegewisch Dupa said I was twisting words.

Are you saying that you were talking about someone else when you used the words “twisted mind”?

[Jvette]

What rot!

The Church does not condone or encourage such.

Debasement instead of debate. I called it right.

[Jvette]

I am saying that I made a general observation in reply to a post to me, not specifically mentioning anyone nor directed to anyone.

I can’t help it if one is so sensitive as to take it personally.

[Theo]

Ah, now you’re being coy.

“Twisted” was used in reference to me, as any clear-headed FReeper will know when they review our conversation. And your denials simply reflect poorly on you, Jvette.

[Jvette]

You say coy, I say clever.

[Jvette]

Would love to continue, but I must be off to work.

[CynicalBear]

Mark 13:21 At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'Look, there he is!' do not believe it.

Luke 17:23 And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.

[Scythian]

I am sorry that you take an interest in such things. It is your free will and you can do what you want with it. I have no such interest in things of this sort.
