Here is a very good example of Bill lying.

He always contends that VP is unnecessarily antagonizing him and what he say on here. Yet this is his response to her posting about her faith.

To say that the catholic church is not bible/christ centered is a lie. He knows that but yet he still lies and says otherwise.

I don't believe in any religion but I am getting pretty tired of Bill's my way or no way attitude on here.

Bill, is it 1981 yet? Why are you still here?

bg,

Jesus said "work to earn food which affords, continually, eternal life"
(J n6:27). " our fathers had manna to eat in the desert". (Jn 6:31)
Jesus told them "the real bread from heaven comes from the
Father."The Disciples said "Give us this bread". Jesus told
them "It is I who am the bread of life" (Jn 6:34-35) Jesus said,
I myself am the bread that comes down from heaven.
If anyone eats of this bread, He shall live forever. It is
my flesh, given for the life of the world ( Jn 6:51-52)
My flesh is real food, my blood is real drink. He who eats my
flesh and drinks my blood, lives continually in me, and
I in him" (Jn 6:54-57).There were no attempts to soften what he said.
No attempt to correct misunderstandings, for there were none.
Jesus said " Do this in rememberance of me". Jesus said so much about
this it can't be denied.

To eat the Bible is not the same thing. You LOL at Jesus and what he is
saiding, Disreguard what he teaches and then tell him he has it wrong.
So your more comfortable in denial. Your the bible pagan make
up your mind. Is the Bible right or not?
Why don't all of you answer a simple question: Are catholic people saved?

Because it's not simple.
Are all Baptists saved?
All Presbyterian?
All Methodist?

There are saved and unsaved people around the world, and unlike Bill, I don't think they have to be Christian or any particular flavor of religion.
Veep, of COURSE he gets it! But you know by now that Bill Gray would rather antagonize you than anyone else. I think it's because he is jealous. Everybody else here loves and admires you and he can't stand that!

And renecillo, of COURSE Catholics are saved! They believe Christ died for their sins. And they go one step further, which ic another thing that bothers Bill Gray - they continue all day, every day, to try to be better people. Even Bill Gray has stated many times that Catholics are saved. He has stated that we who are saved are brothers and sisters in Christ. But you can see how he treats his "sister" Veep.

He must be jealous of his "sister", you know, kind of a sibling rivalry. Only Veep is too mature to stoop to his level.

Hi Child,


Roman Catholics justify this false teaching with the Scripture passage found in John 6:53-55, "So Jesus said to them, '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 yourselves. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink.'"

So, using this simple rule of hermeneutics, we must look for a symbolic or metaphorical understanding of this passage. His body and His blood represent the Word of God. We must be in the Word of God daily; we must be (not literally, Child) eating and drinking the Word of God. And, we must be in the Word of God until He returns to Rapture His church, His body of believers, His Bride.

bg----

You need to leave this alone. It's way over you head, about
a mile over. YOU insult everything holy with your god complex. all the made up
stuff off the top of your head. This entire answer is false. Your're foaming
at the mouth with this mindless dribble. I hate to see you talk about some things
because of how much hate is in you. I hope you think you're right.
Your not. So I hope that much more.
You know, at the Last Supper, so many were unable to comprehend what Jesus was saying. How could this man mean to eat the flesh and drink the blood? How...and they left.

Only those who open their hearts to truly listen stayed, to partake with Jesus in the Institution of the Eucharist.
Jesus stood His ground, and explained the New and Everlasting Covenant.
He did not waver, or say, "well its just a symbol, wait don't leave.."

He said'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 yourselves. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink.'"
He meant it.
Bill, I hope your spirituality deepens to where you may someday understand this. An attack on the Eucharist is an attack on Jesus Himself.
May God have mercy on us all!

Yes! Yes, yes, yes yes yesyesyes... YES! That has always been his contention, Saint Bill has spoken, so should it be understood.

Hi Ren,

This is such an important, such a pertinent question -- that I have used it to begin a new discussion. Your question is too important to allow it to be buried or lost in the middle of another discussion where "spitting" has already begun.

Take a look at "Who Is Saved? - How Are We Saved?"

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

Bill

Veep,

I'm not attacking anybody, but you'll understand if I think cannibalism is uncivilized.

If the Eucharist really is the essential foundation of Christianity, then count me out.

Glad we've come to terms on this.

Hi Child,

Quite honestly, I have never tried EATING my Bible. I read it; I study it; sometimes, I even fall asleep while reading it and sleep with it. But, even seasoned with good salsa, I have never EATEN it!

And, I can assure you this -- I have NEVER eaten Jesus Christ! I worship Him, I adore Him, I pray to Him, I sing to Him -- I do many things in His name. But, I have NEVER eaten Him. Can anyone imagine how BIG the Human Body of Jesus Christ would have to be -- for billions of people to EAT His body and DRINK His blood every day for 2000 years? Wow!

Roman Catholics justify this false teaching with the Scripture passage found in John 6:53-55, "So Jesus said to them, '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 yourselves. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink.'"

As I have often said, when interpreting the Bible -- first, we read a passage or verse literally to see if it makes sense in the literal interpretation. If it does not, we look at a symbolic or metaphorical meaning.

Using that hermeneutical approach, we read that Jesus said, "He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life. . ." Now, since He was standing there, alive, among them -- when He said this -- was He telling them to kill Him and eat Him then? Of course not! Was He telling them that, after He was crucified, they should carve up His body and eat it then? Of course not!

So, using this simple rule of hermeneutics, we must look for a symbolic or metaphorical understanding of this passage. His body and His blood represent the Word of God. We must be in the Word of God daily; we must be (not literally, Child) eating and drinking the Word of God. And, we must be in the Word of God until He returns to Rapture His church, His body of believers, His Bride.

This is the meaning of that passage -- not that we should literally be eating His body and drinking His blood.

Hi Child,

I have given you a good Biblical and theological response. And, all you can do is to stand up like a child, stick your tongue out, and scream, "You are wrong! You are wrong!"

Unless you want to live up to your name -- when you say that I am wrong -- give me solid Biblical proof. If not, you are just a child ranting and crying.

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

Bill

b,

It really is no more than grape juice and a cracker.

But let's cut Veep some slack. It become the literal body and blood of Jesus at some point during the ritual.

Absurd as this sounds, a billion people believe it.

If it is true, then Catholics are cannibals. If it is not true, then the essential tenet of Catholicism is untrue.

Either way, I want nothing to do with them, religion wise.

Thanks, BCBG, (I think).
It's actually at the Eucharistic Prayer, the priest calls the Holy Spirit, and transubstantiation occurs. THAT is why we kneel- not to pray to statues, as certain people have said, but out of respect for the presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.
And you're right- 1.2 Billion people believe it, worldwide.
Bill believe it or not ,a lot of Christians that are not Catholics actually believe the Bible.
Matt.26:26-27-28

......Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to his disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is my body"
27-28 And He took the cup and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying,"Drink ye all of it; For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sin"

Hi VP,

But, what are you doing when you are kneeling in front of the statues of Saint this or that? Are you kneeling there just to rest -- or to pray to that statue?

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

So, Max,

Do YOU believe in transubstantiation, that the wafer actually becomes the human body of Jesus Christ -- and that the juice actually becomes the human blood of Jesus Christ?

Bill Gray

So what your saying is Jesus can't do what he says he can. you don't believe
God can place his essence in a stupid wafer? He's God and he hasn't lied yet.
Not in the Bible that I know of.

Hi Vic,

Just what do YOU mean when you say "God can place His essence in a stupid wafer"?

What do YOU mean by "His essence"?

I just want to makes sure we are on the same page and same meaning.

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

Hi Bil,

The only essence I know of would be the most important part of it. The inherent
element that makes it what it is, In this case the spiritual supernatural being
of the person Jesus Christ. It sounds funny when you talk about real body and
blood. I'm not Catholic yet, But I have come is believe it's an actural moment
for Jesus to touch my soul. One of the best things he did for all of us.
quote:

Absolutely! Smiler
Its a beautiful thing, Invictus. The essence is the entirety- Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity.
Every aspect of our Lord. And we have the privelege to enter into the Covenant with Him at that moment.
When people say Body and Blood, it paints such a strange picture- you have nailed it with "THE ESSENCE". Everything that Jesus is- Man, and Divine God. All in one perfect package.
The Gospel according to John, chapter 6
60 Many of his disciples, when they heard it, said, "This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?" 61 But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at it, said to them, "Do you take offense at this? 62 Then what if you were to see the Son of man ascending where he was before? 63 It is the spirit that gives life, the flesh is of no avail; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. 64 But there are some of you that do not believe." For Jesus knew from the first who those were that did not believe, and who it was that would betray him. 65 And he said, "This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father." 66 After this many of his disciples drew back and no longer went about with him. 67 Jesus said to the twelve, "Do you also wish to go away?" 68 Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life; 69 and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God

Many of even the ones close to Jesus had trouble understanding that He is the bread of life- the flesh- so Jesus made it clear, and many disciples left.
So, my point is, it's not like God didn't foresee this division in the True Presence of the Eucharist. It started that very day.
