Shelb5: I think you misunderstand the fourth quote in my post #173 where I said that I am afraid of becoming convinced.
Like I said Dicy- you ask us questions, filled with false premises. We ask you where are you getting these premises from, we are not asking you per say what do you believe.
We can not answer a question based on a false premise. Do you understand that?
We can not answer why we drink the blood of Christ when the bible says that drinking blood is a sin. *you* dicy, not the bible but *you* have formulated a premise that the admonishment includes what Catholic do at communion while you IGNORE!!!! scripture, that explains to you that obviously we can not reasonably believe that the Eucharist is part of this admonishment. All we are asking you to do is explain to us where you get this notion from that the admonishment was against Holy Communion when the writer of the admonishment was offering the Mass and indeed was drinking Christ blood?
You want to talk about 2+2=6? There you go but you do not want to discuss this rationally- you just want to spew your superior understanding of scripture and what you have concluded all by yourself against what the apostles practiced before the NT scriptures was even written.
Can you answer this? How do you reconcile the verses you present with the verses (and historical facts) we present that contradict your premise?
Why do you, who is so superior in scripture reading then the Church, will not read the whole NT in context and just take certain verses, isolate them, and make them mean what you want them to mean?
The treacherous thing about knowledge is that the truth has been hidden from the wise and prudent and revealed to babes.
So are you trying to say you are a prophet? That God revealed the truth to you and is keeping it from Catholics?
Your evidence is what?
See?
We need to know the answers to these question if you honestly want us to take you seriously, we need to know on who's authority do you speak?
And until you can tell us, we will just have to look to the bible for our authority where Christ gave it to
Peter.
