I'm sorry that you choose "to walk away" from the truth--just as those doubting disciples did in John 6. I hope you eventually come to recognize it, however. |
there is only one truth. but there are many facts:
- more than one word for "eat" are used interchangeably throughout John's gospel.
- you parrot a gazillion catholic apologist websites and somehow it makes you "well versed in the subject."
- Augustine of Hippo once wrote "believe, and you have eaten."
- "The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing." - John 6:63
- You have no evidence that transubstantiation is real, other than your own misunderstanding.
- lots of stuff in the bible sounds literal, and lots of deluded people take it that way.
post #19 was a doozy alright. I didn't think it was possible, but you've surpassed it here. just after I state (sincerely) that I hope you will find humility ... you go on to liken yourself, and your opinions, to Christ's message.
