Maybe. If it is relevant to the discussion, I might. My posts were not very long and I also added a lot of my own information to one of the posts. Takes maybe a couple of minutes to read. Don't forget, we are here also to learn something, not just throw short sound bites back and forth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TreeBeard Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 29 minutes ago, blackbird said: Really? I thought you come here to stir the pot. Am I wrong? If that means disagree with people, then yes. Do you only like discussion with people who agree with you? That would explain your cut/paste posts.

blackbird Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 5 hours ago, TreeBeard said: Im here to discuss ideas. Not to read “information” copied from other websites. Sadly that is the case. You are not really interested in learning anything at all. I posted an article earlier on the history of where the Catholic church came from which gave a fair amount of detail. Unfortunately, you would likely not read it and therefore would remain in ignorance. However, I posted it anyway to answer the misinformation that was posted about the Catholic church coming from Jesus Christ. I doubt you will find any poster on here who has that kind of information at the top of his head. When there are comments about things that require more depth than a one line reply, then it makes sense to quote from an authoritative source. Since I know how to get that kind of information, why not post it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is that supposed to mean? Of course I read people's postings which have a different view. I do the same as you and everyone else. If I disagree, I say so but I try to give an explanation. That often includes quoting an article which gives the reasons why I disagree and what the correct belief is on a topic? Why are you opposed to giving people knowledge? I don't understand your logic. You accuse me of wanting to give them "information". Really? Why are you opposed to "information" or knowledge. Isn't knowledge what makes better people and a better world? Why would you oppose other people having more knowledge? Edited January 28 by blackbird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bible refutes your interpretation which claims you are eating the literal body and blood of Christ. You need to open your mind to the Bible and Holy Spirit instead of believing it just because Mother church says so. " Transubstantiation refuted by John 6:63 “The whole Christ is truly present, body, blood, soul, and divinity, under the appearances of bread and wine—the glorified Christ who rose from the dead after dying for our sins. This is what the Church means when she speaks of the “Real Presence” of Christ in the Eucharist.” [1] If a person wants to believe in transubstantiation, they have no choice but to IGNORE John 6:63… “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” Why Transubstantiation Is Not True And Not Necessary - Coming In The Clouds It says clearly in Scripture it is the "spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing" John 6:63 Jesus was clearly talking about a spiritual eating and drinking, not physically or literally. lf you are worshiping a piece of bread or the host, that is a form of idolatry because Jesus is not physically in the bread. It would also be a form of cannibalism if you ate him literally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said that simply because they could not understand the whole concept of a close spiritual relationship with Jesus Christ. He was talking about a spiritual union or relationship. He used the terms eating and drinking as metaphorical or figurative terms to show a spiritual relationship. But they could not understand it.

First the question makes no sense if he was speaking "spiritual union or relationship" since that isn't shocking. Next he did use those terms figuratively but for the 1000th time he changed from figurative to literal. You've been told this but deny it. John 6:48 "I am the bread of life". That's figurative as he is not bread. But then verse 51, "I am the living bread come down from heaven (figurative again) Whoever eats this bread (figurative) will live forever; and the bread (figurative) that i will give is my flesh (literal) for the life of the world". Then three times following that statement in verses 51, 54 and 55 he mentions his flesh the word bread appears no where in those verses. Then he asks if they are shocked. There is no reason to be shocked if it's figurative. The only way to miss this is to be stupid, blind or a protestant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" 47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. 48 I am that bread of life. 49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. 50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. 51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. " John 6:47-51 This begins by saying he that believeth on me hath everlasting life. That emphasizes belief or faith. Then he uses a metaphor saying I am that bread of life. So by believing in him, you are receiving that bread of life. Verse 50 says the same thing, using figurative language. If you eat of this bread, that is, believe in Jesus, you shall live forever. Now verse 51, Jesus says the bread that he will give is his flesh, which he will give for the life of the world. How does he give his flesh for the life of the world? The answer is on the cross. He shed his blood and died for the sins of the world. That is how he gave his flesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would anyone be shocked by a figurative message to "eat my flesh"? I've also shown you that then early church believed Jesus when he said it was his body. I have a choice to believe Jesus or you a "discipline" of a strip mall church pastor. It's an easy choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have Jesus talking to your carnal/physical body, while Jesus is clear that he is talking to your spirit. He wants us to eat of his words and drink of his spirit. Nothing carnal. Think of the sop and it's meaning. You can do this buddy. You are not stupid. John 6 ; 63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. Luke 11:52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered. Mark 7:13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye. Matthew 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. Luke 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. Go inside yourdelf to find the only God you can ever really know.

If Jesus was speaking only spiritually the question in V 61 makes absolutely no sense in the context of the discussion. The same is true for V 67. Notice john 6:66 says "After this many of his disciples turned away and no longer remained with him." That's you the message is too shocking for you. You have decided Jesus couldn't have meant what he said. THE flesh profits nothing it doesnt say HIS flesh profits nothing. That's a C- attempt.
