Firstly, let’s see what happens when your head is removed from your body. Very soon your decapitated body becomes something other than a decapitated body. If you choose to think of a head as NOT a part of the body, that’s fine, but it shows how your mind works quite well indeed.

I’m beginning to like you, and I only just met you! :yup:

like I said, you are being too literal. if we play by your literalist view, how then can an entire community be part of Jesus’ body? god then would be more than a trinity.

Secondly, the Church does define the Head as part of the body, as well as those who have died in the faith, as well as the saints, which you most likely also don’t think of as the body of Christ.

That doesnt necessarily have anything to do with the symbolism of “Body of Christ”. Maybe if you can show me an official catholic document that specifically says “The Body of Christ is Jesus and the community of believers”.

Is what I said clarified for you?

yes, thanks.

And how am I being paranoid? Are you projecting again?

when you said i dont have a point, you are being too defensive that you assume i’m trying to attack you when i was really just trying to understand what youve said.

And you have become ridiculously too literal…as a result making heretical analysis on the ‘body of christ’.

Keikiolu has nothing to be defensive about. You’re the one who is being defensive because you are slowly losing it.

And you have become ridiculously too literal…as a result making heretical analysis on the ‘body of christ’.

And now Agus has become an aplogist for Catholicism

I do love the way you “restrict definitions of words” when it suits you, and “expand definitions of words” when it suits you, so as to justify your thnking.

Your active non-understanding of the “Body of Christ” is profound,… or a tactic to mock instead of understand.

Dogma: All the faithful are members of the body of Christ. How? It’s a mystery. Deal with that mystery as you wish.

(various other possibilities)

**1140 **It is the whole community, the Body of Christ united with its Head, that celebrates. “Liturgical services are not private functions but are celebrations of the Church which is ‘the sacrament of unity,’ namely, the holy people united and organized under the authority of the bishops. Therefore, liturgical services pertain to the whole Body of the Church. They manifest it, and have effects upon it. But they touch individual members of the Church in different ways, depending on their orders, their role in the liturgical services, and their actual participation in them.” For this reason, “rites which are meant to be celebrated in common, with the faithful present and actively participating, should as far as possible be celebrated in that way rather than by an individual and quasi-privately.”

What I heard from you didn’t come to a point. Therefore, I didn’t see your point. If you see my saying that as my thinking that you were attacking me, that’s fine, although untrue.

And you have become ridiculously too literal…as a result making heretical analysis on the ‘body of christ’.

You’ll have to show me specifically how I’m being heretical.

That should be interesting!

Being called “too literal” by someone suffering from such extreme scrupulosity is too funny. Thanks for sharing, though…!

Best to 'ya…!

Jan Marcussen or Pastor Marcussen as he is often know is a Seventh-Day Adventist who runs a private ministry from IL. if memory serves me correctly. He teaches for the most part, mainstream SDA doctrine regarding their beliefs about the Catholic Church and the end of times, but does it with about 1/8th of the tact and charm that most SDA ministers try to use. His is kind of an “in your face” ministry, and while his ministry is not sponsored by the Church it is supported pretty much exclusively by SDA’s.

You can see his website at: www.wbns.us* and *www.reg6.com.

To my knowledge he is not currently a credentialed SDA minister, but was at one time in Florida.

Hope this helps…

Paster Jan has a website for his newsletters and of course his site.

From my understanding, Pastor Jan is credentialed but he is not paid by the SDA Conference system.
