Even a blind squirrel and broken clock. It's why we always have a crucifix with the corpus. It's "shew" not proclaim, in the KJB. The Real Presence is the real presence of Christ on the cross, it's the real presence of the cross, which is another reason we always have a crucifix. The True...

And there's only One Church emerging from the first century, Vincent of Lerins confirms it. There's One Church movement, and then there are the heresies. These are the only branches of the Christian tradition that existed, this is according to their own testimony, in documents we have from...

It's either idolatry or it's not—that's for sure. He certainly sees sin, but He doesn't see our guilt. Not if we're not guilty. And if we're not guilty, it's because of the cross, and the cross applies to the Father's view of us from His throne. When we believe. There certainly is an...

We are to follow Paul, and Paul said, quoting Christ, "'this do'". It's a positive obligation He imposes on us, and Paul tells us. It's the Mass obligation. You have to go to Mass, if you want to follow Paul. That's what Paul's saying, he's saying 'this do'. Celebrate Communion. That's at...

Exactly my point. There are vanishingly few billionaires, such that if an angry mob ever decides to target them, they've got no chance to survive. They'll be hunted down and extincted. All their assets will be seized or frozen. We've seen what we can do to Russian billionaires, imagine what...

lol.

He didn't say to break bread. He broke bread, and then said, this bread is My body. The words of consecration don't mention the breaking, in context they commence after the breaking has already occurred. It doesn't matter if you break the bread or not, or if you break the bread after the...

In the literature it means if and only if. It's not superfluous. Nah. What He said was $$ 1Co 11:23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the [same] night in which he was betrayed took bread: $$ 1Co 11:24 And when he had given thanks, he...

I grant you all this. You all Dispensationalists have a putative advantage over the Evangelicals wrt my analogy, since you already admit that the movement that emerges from the first century is NOT the Church in the Bible. You're good. I mean I captured that, didn't I?

That makes perfect sense, IFF He didn't say $$ 1Co 11:24 And when he had given thanks, he brake [it], and said, Take, eat: this is my body, But He did. Because of crumbs. Crumbs which retain upon inspection the form of bread, are to be treated with the same care and concern as Eucharist...

Yes. I know I do. I started to tear up and almost starting weeping at Eucharistic Adoration one time, completely unprompted. I mean I knew I was in the Real Presence of the Lord, ofc, but I don't tear up every Mass, but I did at Adoration once. It was pretty intense. Kind of brutal. I know...

I believe that Evangelicalism emerged in the 1500s, from out of nowhere, from out of left field. It would be surprising if Evangelicalism were the Church in the Bible, as surprising, as I note, as Mormonism being the Church in the Bible. Mormons incidentally like Dispensationalists and...

You and the Dispensationalists certainly have an advantage here, because you all already believe that the "Church" (in quotes just for your sake, for the sake of argument) that emerges and emerged from the first century WAS ALREADY corrupt and not the Church (no quotes) in the Bible. You see as...

Hmm now where have we seen it before where everybody and their brother murders the high and mighty. Oh yeah France. French Revolution. Guillotines galore. The Left has always been a descendant of the French immoral Revolution, as opposed to the righteous American Revolution. And Marx lived...

Do you think He also tells us of Himself in nature? Many Evangelicals believe in 'Special' (viz. the Bible) and 'General' Revelation (nature).

There's only 700 of them in the whole country. Talk about minorities.

I note nobody answered this. It wasn't addressed to anybody in particular so I'll drop a few names here to see what you think, @JudgeRightly @Right Divider @Nick M @Lon @7djengo7 and anybody else ofc.

OK. I find rough language funny in the right context, but that context is so far contained in Hollywood to the first seven seasons and three movies of the Trailer Park Boys franchise, and everywhere else I share your disdain for foul mouths. What I don't like is the anger or hatred expressed...

Basically agreed. You would really need to show God expressing surprise in order to have good evidence supporting Him not knowing the future—and the only time we see that is with the wild grapes rhetoric in Isaiah—and that's clearly rhetoric because if you take Him literally there, you wind up...
