Yaqubos, don’t you know that God use His Church, the Catholic Church for this purpose?My friend, do you know why the Scripture is not called “the Word of Man”???
The same Holy Spirit through the same Church. Yaqubos, don’t you know that that is why Jesus founded His Church.Do you believe that the SAME Spirit who taught the Fathers is teaching you today?
exrc said:“do this in remembrance of Me” - Luke 22:19
Since Christ our Redeemer said that that which he offered under the appearance of bread was truly his body, it has therefore always been held in the Church of God, and this holy Synod now declares anew, that through consecration of the bread and wine there comes about a conversion of the whole substance of the bread into the substance of the body of Christ our Lord, and of the whole substance of the wine into the substance of his blood. And this conversion is by the Holy Catholic church conveniently and properly called transubstantiation. (session 13, “Decrees Concerning the Most Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist”, chapter 4)
According to the Catholic Church, transubstantiation is the view of the eucharist always held by the Christian church. Some Catholics try to redefine this claim of the Council of Trent by saying that what Trent meant is that there was always some sort of belief in a presence in the eucharist, which was later defined more specifically as transubstantiation. While it’s true that Trent doesn’t claim that the word “transubstantiation” has always been used, Trent does claim that the concept has always been held by the Christian church. There are two sentences in the quote above. The first sentence refers to a view of the eucharist always being held by the Christian church. The second sentence says that this view is transubstantiation. The way in which Trent describes the view always held by the Christian church makes it clear that transubstantiation is being described. The council refers to the whole substance of the bread and the whole substance of the wine being converted. That’s transubstantiation.
Why do Catholic apologists attempt to redefine what the Council of Trent taught? Because what Trent said is false. Let’s consider just some of the evidence that leads to this conclusion.
Though Catholics often cite some alleged references to their view of the eucharist in the Bible, the truth is that there’s no evidence of the Catholic eucharist in scripture. John 6 is often cited as referring to eating Christ’s flesh and drinking His blood by means of a transubstantiated eucharist. There are a lot of problems with the Catholic view of John 6, however, such as the fact that Jesus speaks in the present tense about how He is the bread of life and how people are responsible for eating and drinking Him. Jesus doesn’t refer to how these things will begin in the future, when the eucharist is instituted. Rather, He refers to them as a present reality. And John 6:35 identifies what the eating and drinking are. The passage is not about the eucharist. (See members.aol.com/jasonte2/john666.htm for a further discussion of the problems with the Catholic interpretation of John
Jesus is always with us, not sitting on a throne far away, as Calvin would have it. We see him now under the appearance of bread and wine, and if we eat and drink of him worthily he nourishes us. He is our manna in the desert. Sometime he will appear again in glory. Until this time, this is how we know him best , thru his Church in the Scriptures and in the Blessed Sacrament.
It’s clear again that you didn’t understand what this “list” is…The please provide me the list of what is scripture within the scriptures.
The Lord was praying for His DISCIPLES.Everyone is just going to have to agree to disagree. Jesus prayed that we’d be one, and I see that we are not.
That site is a joke…That so called preacher has about ZERO actual knowlege of what the Catholic Church actually teaches… I looked at some supposed letter from some dude who talked about a "revolving door " of guilt that made confession a problem. It was stupid because any Catholic that actually KNOWS the truth knows that all venial sins are simply dealt with with an Act of Contrition and by taking the Eucharist. That’s the reason for the penitential rite at the beginning of every Mass! Confession is primarily for mortal sin…just how much of that do we do on a daily basis?Yes, this is exactly the false teaching the the original post pointed to.
I have heard many Muslims say the same thing… They say we are not understanding their laws and their ways of thinking and what the Qur’an teaches…That site is a joke…That so called preacher has about ZERO actual knowlege of what the Catholic Church actually teaches… I looked at some supposed letter from some dude who talked about a "revolving door " of guilt that made confession a problem.

Well YOU sure do help to clarify things…Peace be with you!

Yaqubos…with all due respect,Peace be with you!
I have heard many Muslims say the same thing… They say we are not understanding their laws and their ways of thinking and what the Qur’an teaches…
But this is not what we have to know. To find the right Way, we don’t have to find a system very consistent with ITSELF. We have to find JESUS CHRIST.
We don’t have to be deceived by figures of Life, but we have to REALLY HAVE LIFE.
In Love,

How can two deaf talk to each other?Well YOU sure do help to clarify things…
Thanks a lot…
I know Roman philosophy more than what you think.Yaqubos…with all due respect,
You know so little of what you speak as to qualify as nothing more than a bigot. You TELL us all the time that WE don’t know what you believe, yet you clarify nothing and sit around making snide remarks about Catholism. Comparing us to Moslems is just lame…all that says is that they know what they believe and that you try to convert them without having the common sense and common courtesy to actually read or study what we really do teach. Tell me…aside from the posts on this site or others, just what REAL Catholic writings have you read? The Catechism? ANYthing by Scott Hahn, Karl Keating, John Cardinal Newman, Pope John Paul II, Ignatius of Antioch, Augustine of Hippo or any of the REAL Catholics? please tell me?

Well there is no “list” in the Bible, but the Holy Spirit provided one:It’s clear again that you didn’t understand what this “list” is…
God’s revelation to humanity. Which is the written word (the Bible) AND the oral word (Apostolic Tradition).Peace be with you!
How can two deaf talk to each other?
Won’t you first tell me what is your definition of “Word of God”?

I would have to say you don’t understand our doctrines and dogmas.I have heard many Muslims say the same thing… They say we are not understanding their laws and their ways of thinking and what the Qur’an teaches…
AMEN! And Catholics believe that Jesus IS their personal Lord and Savior, and that they have no Savior but him.But this is not what we have to know. To find the right Way, we don’t have to find a system very consistent with ITSELF. We have to find JESUS CHRIST.
AMEN!!!We don’t have to be deceived by figures of Life, but we have to REALLY HAVE LIFE.
I see that you don’t understand our dogmas and doctrines that come directly from the Holy Spirit, which guides us to all truth.I know Roman philosophy more than what you think.
Remember???Jesus told us that the Spirit will teach us everything.
A Christian is a disciple of Christ. Catholics and Non-Catholics are Christians, and there are divisions.The Lord was praying for His DISCIPLES
On the contrary, you know virtually nothing of the Catholic Church. You are as the blind man who thinks he knows what it is to see. don’t mean to be unkind, but I am embarassed for you and your ignorant statements. Please, do a little homework; I mean real genuine study. Start with the earliest writers after the Apostles, proceed through the writers of the first 1000 years or so.Peace be with you!
I know more than what you think.
Nice…Now tell the truth…Just what have you read that was written by any legitimate Catholic author? Don’t be shy…name some names and titles…Peace be with you!
I know Roman philosophy more than what you think.
Lord, open their minds. Amen.
In Love,
