I said it once before and I’ll tell you again.

Do not PM me.

If you have anything to me that needs to be said, it can be said on the forum. If it can’t be said in public, it shouldn’t be said in private.

PM is not an out for violation of the forum rules.

“First Christians were Catholic, deal with it, it’s fact.”

Apparently, brainwashing has worked better for some than others. Instead of parroting what you’ve heard mortals tell you in mass, try learning what GOD has to say by going directly to The Source and studying the Bible. And here’s a clue: You won’t find “Catholic”.

Most of the R.C. razzle-dazzle was created as revenue generating measures so the R.C. leaders could live in luxury. The Catholic influx began long after New Testament times. It’s a fact; deal with it.

I don’t think you understand the power of receiving Christ in the Eucharist during Mass. That’s where the quote comes from.

Until Luther defected, everyone was Catholic. Check the facts, please.

Jesus lives in our hearts by faith, not our gut by ingestion.

“Sad that his “strength” wasn’t from a personal relationship with God. It’s good to attend church and it’s good to observe the ordinance of Communion”

You don’t get any more personal with God that Holy Communion. But of course a protestant would have no idea.

Did you get a degree in dietetics or are you a Medical Doctor?

Christ, Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity is consumed into our entire body, mind, heart and as you say (vulgarly) intestinal system.

The Holy Eucharist is much more than just food, although some saints have survived years on just the Eucharist and water.

Likewise since you seem to know how the host is absorbed into the body. Christ, Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity is consumed into our entire body, mind, heart and as you say (vulgarly) intestinal system.

The Holy Eucharist is much more than just food, although some saints have survived years on just the Eucharist and water.

Sure they have......

Peter = Petros - a small pebble such as a man can throw. Rock = petra - a boulder such as out of a protruding cliff which is solid and unmovable by man.

Where did you earn your degree and what is it in?

<>I>There is no word "Catholic" in the New Testament. Deal with it. It's a fact.

No word Trinity either. It is still a fact, deal with it.

NO, because Sola Scriptura is a man made Construct. Jesus began the Catholic Church.

It’s none of your business because I don’t answer to YOU at the judgment.

Or any direct questions on the FR forum apparently.
