>>You really put a lot of "CynicalBear limitations" on God, don't you?<<

Nope. None of my limitations. Only the scripture that was inspired by the Holy Spirit. Unlike the RCC and it’s followers I don’t add to what scripture teaches.

>>Do you hold that belief also?<<

You will find the answer to that in scripture.

"I don’t add to what scripture teaches."

But do you subtract from what the Scripture teaches?

Well, the following text is certainly in the Bible, referring to those who, like yourself, just could not bring themselves to believe in the plain teaching of Jesus about the mystery of the Holy Eucharist, no matter WHAT the Bible says about it (in John 6, as well as the "Last Supper" accounts in the Gospels, and in Paul's first letter to the Corinthians, Chapter 11).

After this many of his disciples drew back and no longer went about with him.    -- John 6:66

The following warning from Paul tells all of us the dangers of not discerning (but, rather, profaning) the Body of Christ in the Holy Eucharist.

"For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when 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 also the cup, 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.

Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord. Let a man examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For any one who eats and drinks without discerning the body, eats and drinks judgment upon himself." -- 1 Corinthians 11:23-29

(Signing off for the night now. Goodnight to all.)
