Still only one trick, I see.

I never read their arguments but I have read the bible...I'll stick with the bible...
#140 was not part of the conversation about eating blood either. Oy vey!
Naw they don't...Someone just duped you into believing and repeating that nonsense...
Yep, they were the ones who thought He was speaking literally and since they were Jews knew that eating human flesh and drinking blood were forbidden by God. Catholics on the other hand have no compunctions about not obeying God’s commands.
Absolutely not...Paul condemned your bloody goose soup after Acts 10...
If you guys would read the words of God in the scriptures, you'd know the answers to these questions...
Why do you keep asking the same questions when it's been answered at least a couple of times??? John 6 is spiritual, not physical...
RCC are generally not allowed to marry, but this is due more to human weakness. It is where the RCC fails to meet the goals of God’s church and exercised its authority to combat a weakness rather than allow a sin to continue. The abuses by Bishops in ordaining their children for power rather than seeking the good of God’s people. It is unfortunate, but hopefully the RCC will see some other acceptable of dealing with this in the future.
There is no prohibition against met even on Friday. Rather this is a day of fasting and prayer for spiritual growth. Even our Lord spoke of the need for fasting and did so himself, unless you would consider him a poor example. The abstaining from meat is a general guideline and I believe not a strict one. Other items can be given up and in a monastic fast it would be much stricter as the monks are likely to come under greater attacks from evil.
The bible isn’t a science textbook and you’ve effectively made that argument yourself with the Revelation of Saint John the Divine. He didn’t properly describe 21st century weapons but you felt it was an acceptable description from a first century perspective. Perhaps the beginning of Genesis is an acceptable 1st century perspective of the Big Bang, the formation of our planet and the creation of life. Science and evolution do not negate what God as done.
That is not what transubstantiation means. Please read about it here, in order to increase you understanding of it:
"Transubstantiation" by Frank J. Sheed
Hopefully, this will substantially alter your apparent very low opinion of both the veracity of Jesus and the power of God (which is limitless -- as the tagline of Salvation says, "With God all things are possible." Matthew 19:26).
Have to stop posting for the night -- I sincerely hope you read that linked page and then understand it much better.
Please forgive one typos and poor autocorrects on my previous post. Typing on an iPad is not always easy.
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
Still only one trick, I see.
It would be nice if, in the name of Jesus Christ, Christians could come together on what - or I should say Who - they have in common. We have so much more to do battle against than one another!!! What will it take?
Sure he did...Just like in this verse...
Joh_6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
I am the door, I am the lamb, I am the bread...
So, you are saying that the ones who left are what?
The Apostles thought the same thing, yet they stayed. So, that makes them what? Catholics?
Jesus said, “Will you also leave?” He does not try to mitigate the saying. He does not try to explain it even though there are other times He does explain Himself to them.
Some are. Some are their servants/slaves. Some are useful idiots. Some are only gazing fondly at the god in the mirror.
And I don’t think some of them took their meds tonight.
What a contradiction to your religion...Here’s Jesus is a grown man and is much, much larger than Mary...On the Catholic side, Mary is always LARGE and Jesus is still a baby, or even looks older but is always very, very little...
It says 'born from above'. Look it up. And not in one of your fashionable god-in-the-mirror and 'modern' Bibles that pander to a certain mindset. You preach Jewish semi nomenclature. Go back to the original New Testaments, not the politically directed offal that you spout.
Sorry, but that is an Eastern Orthodox icon.
