Damn movable goalposts!! PAY ATTENTION!!! POSSESSING a BIBLE!!!

the VAST, VAST, VAST, majority of the people could have ever afforded a bible of their own......also, a VAST VAST VAST, majority of the people couldn't have read it if they owned it......not a historian, are you???

[CynicalBear]

>> I tell you, if it weren't for IRONY snippets, catholics would never post anything worth reading.<<

If these aren’t the last days it will shock me. It’s an upside down world. The irony of that one was glaring for sure.

[Elsie]

sometimes (once in a while) you post an intelligent comment....this wasn;t one of them!

Now you accuse MORMONs of NOT being INTELLIGENT??

Shame!

[Elsie]

...you directly and knowingly disregarded what Jesus said...

(Lots of that going on.)

John 6:28-29

Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”

Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”

[Elsie]

FINALLY??!!??

[Elsie]

interesting theory....so the early church, apostles, diciples, thought so little of her that they did not bury her in a special place, did not attend her grave, and did not record for posterity where and when she died and was buried....amazing lack of concern I'd say.

Yeah - like MOSES.

[Elsie]

......not a historian, are you???So?

A very TINY minority GOT zapped for HAVING a bible - in direct opposition to the Church's draconian rule.

[Elsie]

Deuteronomy 34:5-6

And Moses the servant of the Lord died there in Moab, as the Lord had said. He buried him in Moab, in the valley opposite Beth Peor, but to this day no one knows where his grave is.

if a tiny minority had a bible, a real bible, they would have purchased it from the Catholic Church....Borders hadn't opened even 1 store yet. again, your historical knowledge needs work

[Elsie]

Yeah; like Mary.

If your assumption is true; then your church needed to clarify what it put down in writing.

It didn't...

You REALLY don't want to admit that the AUTHORITIES didn't want ANYONE to have access to the BOOK but the 'approved' interpreters; do you?

[Elsie]

I tell you, if it weren't for IRONY snippets, catholics would never post anything worth reading.

My maternal grandfather was an Italian immigrant from Pioppo that was excommunicated specifically for having a Bible in his posession.

That is a lie. Nobody in the history of the world was ever excommunicated for that reason.

[Arthur McGowan]

If priests indeed have the exclusive power to change finite bread and wine into the body and blood of the infinite Christ, and if indeed consuming His body and blood is necessary for salvation, then the whole world must become Catholic to escape the wrath of God.

What a preposterous statement! The conclusion does not follow from the premise, and the Catholic Church has never taught anything of the kind.

Thanks, but you’ve got the wrong person.

Not my post.

“Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died;
this is the bread that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die.
I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.”
The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us (his) flesh to eat?”
Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you.
Whoever eats 19 my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day.
For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him.
Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me.
This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever.”
These things he said while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum
Then many of his disciples who were listening said, “This saying is hard; who can accept it?”
Since Jesus knew that his disciples were murmuring about this, he said to them, “Does this shock you?
What if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?
It is the spirit that gives life, while the flesh is of no avail. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
But there are some of you who do not believe.” Jesus knew from the beginning the ones who would not believe and the one who would betray him.
And he said, “For this reason I have told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by my Father.”
As a result of this, many (of) his disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer accompanied him
Jesus then said to the Twelve, “Do you also want to leave?”
Simon Peter answered him, “Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.
We have come to believe and are convinced that you are the Holy One of God.”
Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you twelve? Yet is not one of you a devil?”
He was referring to Judas, son of Simon the Iscariot; it was he who would betray him, one of the Twelve.” [John 6: 49-71]
