Peace

So the peace comes from Catholicism?
Your peace comes from a ritual?
Shouldn't your peace come from Christ Himself due to placing one's trust in Him?
In times when we know we should feel fear, worry and anxiety, but we feel the the peace that surpasses all understanding instead.
In 2011 I had tests done for cancer, about a month later the doctor phoned and said he urgently wanted to see me, it was non – Hodgkin Lymphoma. This was a name I recognised, our friend had this cancer, and died a few months later.
Being told I had cancer was out of my hands, there was nothing I could do about it. But I still had choices; I could dictate how the cancer was going to affect my mind and my ability to cope with the news.
A few minutes after putting the phone down; I prayed for the wisdom, strength and peace to do God’s will, whether the cancer was a death sentence, or just an inconvenience. I can only say that from the moment of making this prayer, I have experienced a profound sense of peace that is beyond my understanding, and the thought of cancer has never troubled me for a moment.
Cancer could be a truly worrying process, you wait a month or two for appointments, you wait for the results, and you wait for more appointments. I have never once prayed for healing, at the age of 62, the prayer for healing seemed too complicated, it might or might not be my time to go. Recognising this profound sense of peace comes from God, gives me reason to be thankful.

A sentence that starts with AND does not stand alone. Read what comes BEFORE the AND to understand it.

It does. That's what I said. I noticed you didn't reply to the OP, while I did.

Verse 8: "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ."
The Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist isn't philosophy or vain deceit, nor is it after the tradition of men or after the rudiment of the world. It is after the tradition of God; after the tradition of the Apostles, and after the tradition of Christ Himself, Who instituted the celebration of the Eucharist at the Last Supper.
It's right in the Bible.

Yes, it is. Christ never told any human to eat human flesh.
So many people love to try to FORCE things that "Christ Himself" said to mean something completely different.
Indeed it is. You and your RCC just pervert its meaning.

"John 6:63" doesn't negate everything that leads up to that verse in the second part of that chapter. Christ was dealing with people like you, who said basically, in response to Him saying to eat His flesh and to drink His blood, "Really?" to which He said, "Yes, really." They wondered if He was being metaphorical or symbolic, and He basically said, "Nope." Your reading has Him saying, because of your interpretation of verse 63, "No, I really was being metaphorical and symbolic, in spite of everything I just said to you."

It doesn't negate it... it explains it.
You are lost in your vain religion.
Christ did not tell anyone to become a cannibal.
That you cannot understand the SYMBOLS that Christ gave is your own personal problem.
AFTER telling them to "drink His blood", Jesus made it clear that is was ACTUALLY still just WINE.
I noticed you didn't give specific answers to all three of my questions in my post, but instead gave a vague "It does" and "That's what I said".
"What" does [what]?
What is "what" you said?
Which of my three questions were you answering, and which one did you not answer?
As for the OP's question, see my THIRD question to you, which contains the Biblical answer.

Sigh. The Samaritans were people who believed in the same God that the Jews did. But they didn't worship God the right way, literally Jesus told the woman at the well this. You all Noncatholics and Nonorthodox are like the Samaritans were. They were basically Gentiles to the Jews, and to Jesus too. He came only to the lost sheep of the House of Israel, which meant to Jews of Judah, not to Gentiles, like the Samaritans, even though the Samaritans believed in and worshiped the same God as the Jews. They were Gentiles, because they didn't worship God the right way, like all the other Gentiles, who didn't even believe in the same God as the Jews and the Samaritans. No Gentiles worshiped God correctly, unless they converted to the Church. There's more than one 'church' in the Bible, don't forget.

False accusations will get you nowhere.
You abuse the word "Church".
No kidding.... I only mention that ALL THE TIME.
So, do you understand the SYMBOLS at all?
