Romanists can’t write an article about their interpretations without at the exact same time denigrating everyone else.

Not denigrating, but pointing out what you have been taught about the Holy Eucharist is wrong, so you might come to appreciate the greatest gift He left His Church, His actual, physical and spiritual presence in the form of bread and wine.

It is at best unnecesarily antagonistic. The way it’s written will never bring anyone to your side. But e see this in almost every apologetic piece Roman authors write that are posted here. And we’re told of course that isn’t the case.

Do you even know what denomination I am, for you to say that?

Wouldn’t that be because someone is literally denigrating the Eucharist???

If the shoe fits...

This is simply redundant Romanism. So how many times must your your pasted polemics be exposed as specious? Its coming by God's grace. Better get the thread locked now!

stating the truth denigrates noone....and it isn't an "interpretation"

Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.
later
How is it you do not understand I did not speak to you of bread?but you should beware of the leaven of thepharisees and Saducees?

Then they understood that He did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Saducees.

When papists start telling the truth, I'll listen.

No, and He's not made of flesh and blood anymore. He is Spirit.

When you unnecessarily insult others it does.

And since there are differing beliefs on a specific point, that inherently means there are different interpretations. It is not a statement that makes a judgment on the Roman view being right or wrong, it’s a statement based on the definition of English words and their literal meanings.

The ONE reason why the Bread of Life Discourse HAD to be metaphor:

The bread didn't change into human flesh and the wine didn't change into human blood.

What, you do not believe in the Resurrection?

Because his resurrected Body is made of flesh and blood, of which you say he is no longer made.
