POINT #4. It is necessary to point out that denial of this Truth on which the entirety of Christianity rest, is factually a
“Denial of God Himself.”
The One unforgivable sin.
[Luke 12:10]
The reality of Christ Real presence can ONLY be grasped
, and accepted through the red-tinted glasses of God’s Love for His created Humanity.
Nothing Good is impossible for God.
Manna, [signifying bread] ,the quail, [signifying meat-flesh], water [signifying life].
from the Rock and the First Miracle in Cana; transforming one substance [water] into another substance [wine];
ALL point to the “Real Presence” and God’s ability to do it.
Point # 10 Paul 1 Cor.11: 23-29
For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was betrayed, took bread. And giving thanks, broke, and said: Take ye, and eat: this is my body, which shall be delivered for you: this do for the commemoration of me. In like manner also the chalice, after he had supped, saying: This chalice is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as often as you shall drink, for the commemoration of me. For as often as you shall eat this bread, and drink the chalice, you shall show the death of the Lord, until he come
POINT # 11 Therefore whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord.
But let a man prove himself: [to be worthy of the privilege] and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of the chalice. For he that eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks judgment to himself”
It is an impossibility that Paul could have uttered these words of Grave Spiritual warning,
IF he were NOT knowingly speaking of the Transubstantiation of ordinary bread and wine into the very Real, now Glorified Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ.
One is not “condemned for consuming ONLY ordinary bread and wine!”
POINT # 16 John.8: 47 “He who is of God hears the words of God; the reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God." …
1John.4: 6 “We are of God. Whoever knows God listens to us, and he who is not of God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error”…
John.8 Verses 43 to 47 : “Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my word. You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
But, because I tell the truth, you do not believe me. Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me? He who is of God hears the words of God; the reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God." …
Acts.20: 28 “Take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care
for the church of God [SINGULAR]
which he obtained with the blood of his own Son.” …
Romans 13: 2 “Therefore he who resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment.”
[41] The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, "I am the bread which came down from heaven." [42] They said, "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, `I have come down from heaven'?" …
[READ MARK 6:1-6 FOR THE SAME POSITION]
And HERE we see where Thomas inherits his secular-humanistic-human logic ALONE thinking from.
Here then are the ground’s for their unbelief and actual Denial of God. SECUALR-Humanistic Logic ONLY is applied without Faith,
even without Hope or Love, that, admitted or not, stems from a Denial that Jesus Is god; and is capable of accomplishing “any good thing.”
[60] Many of his disciples, when they heard it, said, "This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?"
And choose to leave Christ; to Deny God. …
Is what God has imposed upon Protestant lack of understanding sufficient to meet the crime. NO!
Even now Christ demonstrates his Love for them, and His desire to also be in a personal relationship with them. One OUGHT NOT ASSUME that because they think that they are in a personal relationship with Christ; that it is reciprocal. Maybe it is; maybe it is not?
[63] It is the spirit that gives life, the flesh is of no avail; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
This is the verse most often quoted by Protestants as the definitive evidence that Christ [having here denied
“the flesh” HAS TO BE SPEAKING SYMBOLICALLY”
… Immediately we see God’s imposed lack of understanding taking effect.
What Christ is trying to teach here; is that their [the defectors], understanding is partially correct.
That His HUMAN BODY, the body and voice speaking to them is of NO Spiritual EFFECT and No Spiritual benefit..
WHAT they fail to understand, lacking
Faith, Hope, and Love, is that Jesus KNOWING that he is but hours away from His Passion and death, and KNOWING full well that He will rise again is speaking of His SOON to be, Glorified Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity
y the 16th century, some Reformers (excluding Luther) also taught that Christ's presence in the Eucharist was only figurative or metaphorical. Since there were other opinions being taught as truth (figurative presence and metaphorical presence) a teaching authority had to be appealed to discern error from the truth. The way of the Church was to follow the model of Acts 15.
The Council of Trent (1545 - 1563) defined the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist, and the Eucharist as both the continuing sacrifice of Christ and a real sacrament. The institution of the Eucharist as sacrament was contained in the words "Do this in remembrance of me."
The date of declared “Dogma” is significant ONLY in that it raises this believe that has always been held as true, believed, understood and practiced, to a position of indisputable truth. This was made necessary by the
Protestant revolution, begun by Martin Luther which soon spread to other “I Know more or I know better” than God and the Catholic Church.
Despite regional attacks throughout history , none had ever been serious enough, wide spread enough to require such an action, which has always been held as infallible truth, because God said so.
[4] It was around 1226 that catholics begin to bow down before the bread
Actually is on or far more like, much before 1171.
