There is/was no need to rephrase it, Christ is the Bread of Life not us, it’s no wonder people leave the Catholic Church.
Like I said earlier, why don’t we just stop beating around the bush and sing out that we are God. After all, we seek to do his will in the world. I guarantee that some people would defend that one too.
If you can’t understand the difference - and what’s being said in the song in question - then there is nothing else I can say.
I totally agree! This hymn is just the tip of the iceberg, of course. An example - just this week I sent an email to my own pastor asking him why it is that we chose to sing the famous Shaker hymn “The Dance” at last Sunday’s liturgy. Of course, it’s in our parish purchased GIA hymn book printed with the “…approval of the Committee on the Liturgy, USCCB…” - with whatever “authority” it is that that subgroup is supposed to wield. (Some of you know this tune with other similar lyrics as “The Lord of the Dance”).
No, I can’t understand the difference. Therefore, please answer my questions which I will post again:
As members of Christ Body, yes to the above.
Took me a little longer, but it had more to do with navigation the text to make it readable.
Well at least you have the courage of your (incorrect) convictions.VociMike
Les see if I can help!

Yes, that is a total denial of the Incarnation and thus heretical.

Then contact the Vatican and tell them to remove St. Teresa of Avila’s doctorate and declare her a heretic.

“No body now on earth.” That changes everything. She doesn’t deny that His glorified body is in heaven.VociMike

Its from her prayer.

Neither does the song, but in fact, even though I have not heard the song, nor am I familiar with its origins, it seems from what I’ve read of the words, its the same theology that St. Teresa based her prayer on.
You didn’t ask me about a song or a theology. You asked me about this statement: “Christ Has No Body Now But Yours”. And I told you it is a denial of the Incarnation and thus heretical.
The words come from the prayer which are in the song which is based on the theology.
The statement “Christ has no body but yours” is most certainly incorrect (theologically unsound in the extreme) and heretical. I am astonished beyond belief that a Christian would argue otherwise.
Why? What happens on Sept. 14th?
Where can I read this?
