How is believing that The Virgin Mary is sinless a heresy? Please tell us poor Papists

Not eating Jesus physically. We partake in the sacrificial meal where we consume the resurrected body of Christ. Jesus is not diminished but e are enriched.

@ Sounds likens. Eating resurrected body 😆 and it’s not physical.

@ Even morens. Eating Jesus “enriches” you. 😆 Is Jesus some vitamins? 😆

@@bridgefin Where in the Bible says there is such thing as a “sacrificial meal”? You invented that? 😆

@@bridgefin Please tell me you are not in a cult. 😆

many non-Catholics do not understand the Mass. Television evangelist Jimmy Swaggart once wrote, “The Roman Catholic Church teaches that the Holy Mass is an expiatory sacrifice, in which the Son of God is actually sacrificed anew on the cross” (Swaggart, Catholicism and Christianity). The late Loraine Boettner, the dean of anti-Catholic Fundamentalists, said the Mass is a “jumble of medieval superstition.” Vatican II puts the Catholic position succinctly: “At the Last Supper, on the night he was betrayed, our Savior instituted the Eucharistic Sacrifice of his Body and Blood. He did this in order to perpetuate the sacrifice of the cross throughout the centuries until he should come again, and so to entrust to his beloved spouse, the Church, a memorial of his death and resurrection: a sacrament of love, a sign of unity, a bond of charity, a paschal banquet in which Christ is consumed, the mind is filled with grace, and a pledge of future glory is given to us” (Sacrosanctum Concilium 47). Even a modestly informed Catholic can set an inquirer right and direct him to biblical accounts of Jesus’ final night with his disciples. Turning to the text, we read, “And he took bread, and when he had given thanks he broke it and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me’” (Luke 22:19). The Greek here and in the parallel Gospel passages (Matt. 26:26; Mark 14:22) reads: Touto estin to soma mou. Paul’s version differs slightly: Touto mou estin to soma (1 Cor. 11:24). They all translate as “This is my body.” The verb estin is the equivalent of the English “is” and can mean “is really” or “is figuratively.” The usual meaning of estin is the former (check any Greek grammar book), just as, in English, the verb “is” usually is taken literally. Some Fundamentalists say the word “is” is used because Aramaic, the language Christ spoke, had no word for “represents.” But as Cardinal Nicholas Wiseman showed a century ago, Aramaic has about three dozen words that can mean “represents.” Fundamentalists insist that when Christ says, “This is my body,” he is speaking figuratively. But this interpretation is precluded by Paul’s discussion of the Eucharist in 1 Corinthians 11:23-29 and by the whole tenor of John 6, the chapter where the Eucharist is promised. The Greek word for “body” in John 6:54 is sarx, which means physical flesh, and the word for “eats” (trogon) translates as “gnawing” or “chewing.” This is certainly not the language of metaphor. The Catholic position The Church teaches that the Mass is the re-presentation of the sacrifice of Calvary. It does not teach that the Mass is a re-crucifixion of Christ, who does not suffer and die again in the Mass. Yet, it is more than just a memorial service. John A. O’Brien, writing in The Faith of Millions, said, “On the cross Christ really shed his blood and was really slain; in the Mass, however, there is no real shedding of blood, no real death; but the separate consecration of the bread and of the wine symbolizes the separation of the body and blood of Christ and thus symbolizes his death upon the cross. The Mass is the renewal and perpetuation of the sacrifice of the cross in the sense that it offers [Jesus] anew to God . . . and thus commemorates the sacrifice of the cross, reenacts it symbolically and mystically, and applies the fruits of Christ’s death upon the cross to individual human souls. All the efficacy of the Mass is derived, therefore, from the sacrifice of Calvary” (306). “

Well said 🎉

Bible does not teach Roman pagan Mass (sacrificing Jesus on a Roman altar back to God) though. RCs are just practising mm practices of Rome. Nothing biblical about it. 😊

You are smart. It's a tradition of wicked men The Bible warns of these wolves in sheep clothing.

And your bible cannot save you. And you have no idea what you are talking about. You fail to understand Catholicism and the Mass and you do not understand Scripture.

Hey there. How about this. Baptism saves.

For example, for non-Lutherans, a good test would be: Could Martin Luther pastor your church, given his beliefs in things like baptismal regeneration, infant baptism, high predestination, and the Real Presence? The problem is much more general than Luther, however. Pastors from one Protestant tradition typically are not allowed to serve as pastors in Protestant churches of other traditions. A Lutheran’s belief in baptismal regeneration will prevent him from pastoring a Calvinist church, a Calvinist’s belief in high predestination will prevent him from pastoring a Methodist church, a Methodist’s belief in infant baptism will prevent him from pastoring a Baptist church, and so on.

It's painful to read this trash. Either you were never Catholic or you were a terrible and faithless one. Not our fault, yours!

To RCs who do not read the Bible, everyone else is a heretic. 😅

Gen. 14:18 - this is the first time that the word “priest” is used in Old Testament. Melchizedek is both a priest and a king and he offers a bread and wine sacrifice to God. Psalm 76:2 - Melchizedek is the king of Salem. Salem is the future Jeru-salem where Jesus, the eternal priest and king, established his new Kingdom and the Eucharistic sacrifice which He offered under the appearance of bread and wine.

Altar calls with no altar Wierd

Christ crucified!

Jesus purifying his church.

Yes If not then he's a false prophet

Roman p religion does not teach “partaking communion in memory” though. This is a Christian doctrine. Roman religion teaches “eating Jesus physically”. This is unbiblical. Jesus did not say that. 😊
