Thanks for answering for BenKenobi, and getting back to the Catholic talking points.
You actually make some good points here about the finished work of Christ on the cross and His once for all sacrifice.
Thank you.
But then you lapse back into the Mass and the mystery...
Oh well.
There is none so blind as one who will not see.
God bless you. Good night.
Many places in Scripture Christ says that He is the vine or He is the door or another metaphor to describe Who He is and our relationship with Him. There is only one place that He says this thing is Me... and that is the bread and wine offered for our salvation. Considering our God created all that is by the power of His Word... I'll take it on faith that Our Lord can change the reality of the Eucharist by the power of His. And I'll also take it on faith that when we repeat His Words down through history as He commanded, the mystery continues as He promised.
Why is it ‘lapse’ back? Do you not believe he is bodily present?
