quote:Actually, your own Catholic Church disproves your belief of this Scripture passage. According to the Roman Catholic church -- the elements do not become the body and blood of Jesus Christ UNTIL a priest has said a few magic words over them. So, on one hand you tell me that Jesus declares this to be so -- but, then, your church tells me that the priest and his magic words are what make it so. Which is it?
Completely untrue. Please refrain from posting falsehoods about the Roman Catholic, or any other church. This is the opinion of ONE MAN,who is no longer in communion with the Catholic Church. You cut and paste his opinions because he is anti-Catholicism.
MAGIC WORDS?? In your Church, they are prayer. In my Church you ridicule to the level of "Magic"????
This is a prayer for the power of the Holy Spirit. Do you not believe in the Holy Spirit either, Mr. Gray?
Do you think Jesus said
"Do this in memory of me"
Just for kicks? He TAUGHT of the Eucharist at the Feast of 5000. And CELEBRATED the Eucharist at the Last Supper. Get your facts straight before you copy and paste someone else's opinion and declare it as Truth. You are deceived, and are attempting to lead others to deception.
Aude had it right- it is by Faith and the power of the Holy Spirit that transubstantiation occurs.It is a miracle, and I am truly sorry that you cannot comprehend.
Again I will emphasize: "WE" (as in you and I) are not in communion- you get crackers and grape juice, if that's what you hunger for.
I need,and humbly receive the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity.Blood shed for the atonement of sins. Have mercy on us and on the whole world.
