"This is My body," and then the Church consumes His body, that is how we are His body.

That's what I said. That's why it's interesting when people try to prove from the Bible that the Real Presence is wrong or false or fake or phony or fabricated or fictional. The preponderance of all concerning verses prima facie plainly means the Real Presence is true. Quick check on Church...

How are Gentiles "heirs" according to the promise made to Abraham? That promise was for Israel. That's a MYSTERY.¹ Paul explains: Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: 10 That in the dispensation of the fulness...

It doesn't have to make sense to you. That's not part of the Christian life, to only do what makes sense to you, you have to submit to the authorities put over you, they are literally overseers of the Church. They are bishops. And what they say is to believe the Bible, and the Apostles. And the...

You're personally starved for sacrament; the literal meeting between the spiritual, physical, eternal and temporal; right before your eyes. (Almost as if God knows what you know, about the impossibility of reconciling physics and heaven, with the human heart, soul, mind and strength. So He...

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." If the heaven means something other than the night sky and outer space, it means whatever the spiritual realm is. He created the angels first.

It's true I am very boring and dull.

Vincent of Lerins said that heretics always come up with some novel doctrine which they prove with Scriptural proof-texts. Interesting thing about denying the Real Presence, is not that it is novel, but that there are no proof-texts for it, in fact, all the concerning texts instead plainly...

Incredibly important to note that after a seven day fast you'll lose a lot of weight on the bathroom scale. Here's why. Roughly one third of it is fat, hooray. Roughly one third of it is glycogen, which depleted from your muscles and liver, and the water associated with that glycogen. This...

Different topic. I'm saying when Vincent of Lerins lived and breathed, there was only One Church.

You mean the Real Presence, how we believe that He is really present upon the words of consecration? when the celebrant quotes Jesus, saying, "This is My Body"? that the host truly then becomes for us the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ?

So, don't sin, no? There's a whole theology of sin, but the gist is, don't sin, no?

I have no idea if particles of the true cross exist. I don't have any proof they do not either.

A ridiculous video that I've seen before. The Church would [have] ground him up just like they did all the other heretics. Ah the good ol days. Missing the trees for the forest. The Council settled the dispute, as is obv to anybody, it's the plainest meanest of the text, in context or...

So 1st Corinthians 10 and 11 where he handles the Church's celebration of the Eucharist is rebuking them? Like, Stop doing this? Rather he says, "For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come." There's no end to the Eucharist until He comes...

Selling relics is against the Church's law.

Discourse. I believe that, the whole Bible (the whole Bible, all 73 books) is the Word of God and infallible and inerrant. I practice Jesus's religion, the religion He founded. If you call it "works based" as if that's a judgment, you're judging Him, not me. So, don't sin. Plain. St...

So, don't sin. If you sin sin clearly does have at least some dominion over you. That's just plain.

No other option, no?
