    John 6 -- full of symbolism.

    What a sad commentary you have on God's Word. Paul quotes the words of Christ verbatim without mistake. He tells us what went on in the upper room by revelation of God. And you have the gall to tell us that he has perverted the very Word of God that God Himself has given Him. You need to...

    John 6 -- full of symbolism.

    But Peter disobeyed. He was not willing to eat the food that God had cleansed. God offered him food, and he would not eat (whether in a vision or not in a vision is irrelevant). Peter would not eat that which was unclean. Up to that point Peter would not associate with that which was unclean...

    John 6 -- full of symbolism.

    What a ridiculous answer! Surely you know better than to use English words when the Christ and the disciples spoke Greek. They did not speak "KJVism". :Roflmao:Laugh Yet you use an English word to try and prove your point! Amazing!! Do you know how many translations use this word "bishoprick"...

    John 6 -- full of symbolism.

    You have to do better than that. Why wouldn't you trust my interpretation. Give me one good reason. It is simply because I left the RCC? That is straightforward prejudicial bias and nothing more! You have no reason and have not given any reason. You can't refute my posts and have not done so...

    John 6 -- full of symbolism.

    Jesus asked his apostles a rhetorical question, one he knew the answer to. The text already tells us that Judas would leave (he wasn't a true disciple). The others promised faithfulness. Read the Great High Priestly Prayer of Christ in John 17. None of his disciples fell away except for the one...

    John 6 -- full of symbolism.

    John the Baptist brought it up before Jesus was even baptized. John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. Jesus is the sacrificial lamb. To eat of him is to believe on him and what he has done on the...

    John 6 -- full of symbolism.

    You are not replying to my post. You are ignoring it. Go back and reply to my post. I will show you how wrong you are. I will use the same verse you used. That's laughable. Let me underline and bold. 52Then the Jews began to argue with one another, saying, “How can this man give us His...

    John 6 -- full of symbolism.

    Not every metaphor offends, such as: "I am the door." Many didn't leave at that point. That is true. Some have greater and deeper meaning asking for greater sacrifice, such as this one. Jesus had already explained what he said: Joh 6:34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this...

    John 6 -- full of symbolism.

    I am saying that there is not a sane man among them, not among the disciples at least, that expected to eat his flesh. Only unsaved fools would believe such stupidity. But then they have a reason for they are steeped in paganism which leads them to believe that even such things as water can wash...

    John 6 -- full of symbolism.

    Rather, he was rebuking them for not understanding figurative language when it is used, but not so figurative that it becomes totally ridiculous and superstitious as the RCC would put forth. Consider other scripture where Christ uses symbolism and explains himself. Mark 4:2 And he taught...

    John 6 -- full of symbolism.

    You (later on) speak of blasphemy. The above is blasphemous. Jesus is not and never was in any "so-called Eucharist." In fact you won't find the word "Eucharist" in the Bible, not in the OT, nor in the NT. It is an invention of man; an invention of the RCC. Thus it is blasphemous, insulting to...

    Introduction & BIG question: Can I be both Catholic & Baptist?

    He didn't say this is the parable of my door, the parable of my vine, the parable of my shepherd, etc. etc. Jesus spoke in metaphors. You either don't understand them or deliberately deny them. To say this is not a metaphor is to state that the disciples of Christ are cannibals. Are they? Did...

    Introduction & BIG question: Can I be both Catholic & Baptist?

    Confused is more like it. You state the position of the Catechism correctly, and technically it is a "re-presentation" of his sacrifice, according to the RCC. But that is confused logic. It presents the case of idolatry, worshiping a piece of bread where Christ supposedly resides. After all...

    Introduction & BIG question: Can I be both Catholic & Baptist?

    Many of the Muslims today will say of those involved in ISIS, "They aren't true Muslims, they are terrorists." You can believe what you want on their statement. It doesn't matter to me. In the same way often the Catholics try to distance themselves from their own "terrorists." The fact is...

    Introduction & BIG question: Can I be both Catholic & Baptist?

    The horrors of the RCC can be depicted in what Francis Xavier did at Goa in India. Read some of the accounts for which he and his followers are accountable. Once the Christian missionaries arrived, the religious practices of the Portuguese turned oppressive after an initial period of...

    You’ve Been Catfished!

    It doesn't matter what drover her to Jesus. For some: It is a fear of hell. A love of a mother for her child. A need for forgiveness of sin. A burden of guilt. Anguish of soul, etc. That doesn't matter. What matters is "faith." All who were ever saved were saved by faith and faith alone...

    You’ve Been Catfished!

    How do you know there is no conversion, or do you not understand the passage. When Jesus answered her rather abruptly and said it was not suitable to give the children's bread to dogs, the Cananite's answer was very meek and humble, and full of faith. Walvoord in his Bible Knowledge...

    You’ve Been Catfished!

    1. What Paul said, is NOW Scripture. 2. What Paul quoted from was NOT Scripture. (He quoted a poet/philosopher). 3. Paul never said he was quoting from any kind of scripture. Therefore both your statement and/or inferences are absolutely wrong. Things do not become true just because you...

    You’ve Been Catfished!

    Why is Paul pointing out the character of the Cretans as "always lying"? He does so because they are sinners and among them are many false teachers that Titus must be aware of. He gives an example. The Believer's Bible Commentary has well summarized it in this way: To emphasize his point Paul...

    You’ve Been Catfished!

    I don't base my doctrine on the uninspired man-made statements made in the RCC Catechism. My beliefs are solidly based on the statements which are written in God's holy inspired Word. It is a book that you seem to continue to attack, which is sad. There is no evidence in the Bible that Paul...
