since you believe that the catholic church did not begin until after this quote, what do you think of this? "He once in Cana of Galilee, turned the water into wine, akin to blood, and is it incredible that He should have turned wine into blood?" Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures...

did i decide that??? what are you talking about?

<staff edit> ill try to answer your three questions here: 1)does the teaching go back to the apostles? sure it does, ignatius learned his christian faith from John the Apostle. doesnt this fullfill what you ask? 2) the whole church agreed. every church father says the same things about the...

you say these quotes are not conclusive proof. well I think they are, if the question is "did the early church believe the bread becomes the body of Christ, truly and the wine becomes his bood truly. you play a game, fooling yourself and others, by saying "oh i do believe it truly becomes his...

"They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer, because they confess not the Eucharist to be the flesh of our Saviour Jesus Christ, which suffered for our sins, and which the Father, of His goodness, raised up again." Ignatius of Antioch, Epistle to Smyrnaeans, 7,1 (c. A.D. 110). "For not as...

i wish I wouldnt have to talk this way, but man cmon! The whole early church believed this clearly, and you wont accept that. The same with baptism, and many catholic teachings. the whole early church taught the catholic viewpoint. I have to be this way towards you for ignoring or trying to...

okay so you just insulted me, by calling me pananoid. then you say, i expected more from you. what kind of man are you? is this how you talk to people at work, your family members? you know, i think you made a huge error in trying to explain away Ignatius of antioch by saying, and I...

no catholic places mary in the place of God! that is the whole point, and yet people STILL ACCUSE US of this. 1) if i ask another person to pray for me, that is not putting them in the place of God!!!! ahhh 2) if i believe that mary and the saints are still alive, i am just believing what...

nope, but it is twisting of other peoples words. wheres the honest people at?

albion what im trying to do, and what im succeeding at, is little by little, breaking down the false assumptions and lies that anti-catholics build their foundations upon. Have you ever read the early church fathers? have you read eusibeious, the didache, the writings of igatius of antioch...

here is what martin luther says about the eucharist. Notice he also realizes that NO EARLY CHURCH FATHER denied that the eucharist is truly the Body and Blood of Christ. Who, but the devil, has granted such license of wresting the words of the holy Scripture? Who ever read in the Scriptures...

dont you get what I am saying? I said the Romans thought the christians were claiming to eat physical human flesh, you know like eating someones arm. Are you playing some kind of game? Think. you know that I am not saying what you are saying. You are now twisting my words too. isnt that obvious?

You completely twisted what happened. Here is the scenario: 1) Romans accused the saints of eating human flesh, and the romans were sickened by the thought. I am correct in this. 2) The christians denied that they were eating human flesh, as so far they were accused. 3) therefore, they...

There must be a very good reason why the Lord had that verse strike you so strongly. The fact that you are over here telling us about it is most likely God's will. If you want to know what I think, I would say that the Lord wants you to seek unity. Catholicism has always sought the...

thank you very much for this expanation. its making alot more sense now. I have another question. So are you saying that Cornelius, who was a jew and not a christian before this event, was in the state of grace as a jew? That is when he did those good works which seemed to merit Peter coming...
