When Jesus came to earth, was born, lived, and died, He existed IN time.
He died IN time.
Now outside of time, he’s seated at God’s right hand as stated in Hebrews 10.
THAT it the actual reality of what is going on now OUTSIDE of time.
The amazing truth about Jesus is that He is both human and divine, both true man and true God.-- you see, Jesus Christ is BOTH True man and True God. Jesus Christ is our Lord and our God. There's a lot more there to help you to know Jesus Christ as God.
Why? Why especially for me?
Why are you changing the subject just for me?
Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits[a] of God sent out into all the earth.The belief that Christ is there in bread and wine is shared by Catholics, Orthodox, Lutherans, Copts, Armenians etc. -- this is NOT a remembrance (you are correct on that), this IS Christ.
Because I’m being nice and giving you detailed proof on why Jesus Christ is BOTH True man and True God. Jesus Christ is our Lord and our God. There’s a lot more there to help you to know Jesus Christ as God.
The anaphora: with the Eucharistic Prayer - the prayer of thanksgiving and consecration - we come to the heart and summit of the celebration:Then it goes on to say
.. the Church gives thanks to the Father, through Christ, in the Holy Spirit, for all his works: creation, redemption, and sanctification. the whole community thus joins in the unending praise that the Church in heaven, the angels and all the saints, sing to the thrice-holy God.
the Church asks the Father to send his Holy Spirit on the bread and wine, so that by his power they may become the body and blood of Jesus Christ and so that those who take part in the Eucharist may be one body and one spirit.
In the anamnesis that follows, the Church calls to mind the Passion, resurrection, and glorious return of Christ Jesus; she presents to the Father the offering of his Son which reconciles us with him.anamnesis as seen in 1 Corinthians 11:2426 24 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. 25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.
A second problem with the Reformed conception is the following dilemma. If God the Father was pouring out His wrath on the Second Person of the Trinity, then God was divided against Himself, God the Father hating His own Word.
God could hate the Son only if the Son were another being, that is, if polytheism or Arianism were true.
But if God loved the Son, then it must be another person (besides the Son) whom God was hating during Christs Passion. And hence that entails Nestorianism, i.e. that Christ was two persons, one divine and the other human. He loved the divine Son but hated the human Jesus.
Hence the Reformed conception conflicts with the orthodox doctrine of the Trinity
The Old Catholic Church was never more than a splinter group. As for Pio Nonos motivation, it was the shock of realizing that Italian Liberals were fanatics who would stop at nothingand were liars. Jokingly he once said that he and Garibaldi were the only honest men in Italy.Honesty was certainly not one of Pius's traits according to many Bishops of the time.
* Other bishops, like Bishop Henri Manret, openly called Pius IX a liar, so the charge was not at all unusual or suspect.
* Cardinal Gustav von Hohenlohe told a friend: In my entire life, I have never met a man who was less particular about the truth than Pius IX. He never admitted to the things he had done in his efforts to have infallibility declared an official Church dogma.
* Bishop Felix Dupanloupe wrote in his diary: "I'm not going to the Council anymore. The violence, the shamelessness, even more the falsity, vanity, and continual lying force me to keep my distance."
* Bishop Lecourtier from France, who was so discouraged that he threw his notes into the Tiber river and simply went home only to have his bishopric taken away for his trouble, complained:

You’re repeating bilge; bilge that has been refuted. Repeating it does nothing but show that you have nothing really to add; unless you actually do.
If so, please do.
Any sign of scriptural evidence for the timeline of purgatory, influences of prayers of the saints thereon, or the impact of indulgences?
I’m still waiting — either there is or there is not.
Ignoring it won’t make it go away.

“Remember also that 1 Corinthians 10:1617 reflects the Real Presence: “The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.”
I vaguely remember this being posted before... nothing new?
1 Corinthians 10:16-17 does no such thing? Recall my example I posted in reply? I participate in government, but I’m not a governor... I participate in a football game, but I’m not a player — football players participate in a football game but they are not footballs.... I participate in the Lord’s Supper by partaking the elements, remembering the once and for all sacrifice made by Christ on the cross for my sins. That does not “re-sacrifice” Jesus in any way... and I do not drink his blood or eat his physical flesh — He is present in spirit, not in the elements.
Repetition is sign of a failed argument on your behalf. And twisting scripture to try to make a point, no matter how many times it’s repeated, does not truth make.
Anything NEW?

Sorry. But there is no logic to your claim or explanation.
SOP for the Vatican AIWSOTARM.
Whether you approach this question from the Greek or Hebrew side, the result supports the notion of the Real Presence. When Paul quotes Jesus as saying eis ten emen anamnesin, he understands the meaning both in Greek and Hebrew senses. When Jesus said, "do this eis ten emen anamensin," he was not saying to simply remember him. He was telling his twelve apostles to perform the same actions that he did in order to bring the reality of him back to this world.
You argument refutes itself. The Israelites, when celebrating the Passover, certainly did not understand themselves to be actually participating in the event again. They knew that the references to keeping the Passover were symbolic.
Further, your argument for zikrown and anamnesis is wrong. Neither of them has the connotation of "participation" in an event again, at least not beyond that of mental recollection with a view towards identification with those who went through the original event. That is simply something that Catholicism tries to "read into" the issue after the fact. But it has no basis in the actual philological, contextual, or lexical meanings of either word, as they are used in Scripture.
The "Real Presence" is emphatically NOT supported by these texts.
"Are you a heretic?" is not making it personal. "You are a heretic." is making it personal.
Of course there are exceptions and I have little tolerance for posters finessing the guidelines trying to get in a personal attack by ending it with a question mark, e.g. "Have you lost your mind?"
The copyright issues have been resolved and the air has been cleared. I doubt if it will happen again.
So it's time to put that issue to bed and return to the issues of the thread. Otherwise, it would making the thread "about" another poster which is also a form of "making it personal."
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
Uh... no.
God cannot be divided. He is the one, true, living God — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The argument leveled by the Romish author here automatically fails because the argument BEGINS from a false premise — that God was divided.
Even in the “arguments” that are presented, the only way to get around God’s inerrant scripture and truth is to basically argue against a straw man and then claim some great point of truth.
God loves us, but hates our sins... right? Then where is the conundrum other than in the minds of false teachers in Rome?
Sorry — you can’t get truth from a straw man. And that is what we have here; and a not too subtle attempt either.
Fail. Try again.

Great Video!
Hardly — if you wish to disagree with Jesus words and St. Paul, go ahead and post bilge
If God the Father was pouring out His wrath on the Second Person of the Trinity, then God was divided against Himself, God the Father hating His own Word.Address the points there.
God could hate the Son only if the Son were another being, that is, if polytheism or Arianism were true.
But if God loved the Son, then it must be another person (besides the Son) whom God was hating during Christs Passion. And hence that entails Nestorianism, i.e. that Christ was two persons, one divine and the other human. He loved the divine Son but hated the human Jesus.
