People all over the world can understand the Latin mass. Your unbiblical prejudice that no-one can be expected to understand words in another language is noted.

Understand the events at Pentecost. Read Job. It is the Spirit that gives understanding.


While we're on the subject of obeying the Word of God:

Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

These people at the Latin mass that you find such fault with: they eat Christ's Body and drink His blood, as He commanded.

Do you eat His Body and drink His blood?

If not, why not?

Could it be because the poster that you had asked the question is a “once saved always saved” Christian?

No. People all over the world do not understand Latin. That statement is refuted.

Unbiblical for asking the question as to why it needs to be in Latin? Show me the verse. Again, refuted.

Pentecost? Really? Do you understand the purpose of the miracle at Pentecost was to prove to the Jews the authority of the Apostles? Go read a passage the Bible in Mandarin Chinese, and tell me what the Spirit says. Refuted.

So they are cannibals? Is that what you are saying? You don't understand Jesus is using a literary device called a METAPHOR to teach a spiritual reality? He did that often, so it shouldn't be a surprise. The reality is: Jesus is to be consumed spiritually. His word (the bible because He is literally the Word of God). Not my opinion: the Bible says so.

Which brings me back to my original question: Why have mass in a language one doesn't understand? Your answers are wanting.
