Thank you. I nailed it. Yet you call it a problem. Josiah, you hold a quasi-position on communion. You have one foot in the Catholic Church and one foot in the Protestant church. Your denomination is confused on the matter of communion and whether the flesh and blood of Jesus is really present...

I take Jesus for the win as well. Since Jesus often speaks with figurative language, it is obvious to anyone not indoctrinated in a church dogma/tradition that Jesus is speaking figuratively about his body and blood. However, I know that the teachings of a church tradition often win out over the...

https://www.jewishvoice.org/read/article/did-yeshua-eat-seder-meal Passover – Pesach in Hebrew – has always been seen by Jewish people as the ultimate act of God’s redemption and an affirmation of their status as His chosen people. That’s why, throughout the Hebrew Bible, God’s people are...

Sure it's found in the Last Supper. You must reject the position that the last supper is the Passover Seder meal. When you recognize the Seder, you see the amazing imagery Jesus is using.

You take it that way because recognizing Jesus use of metaphor in connection with the Passover meal means your church tradition is wrong. Can you handle it if your church is wrong?

If you cannot follow the context of the last supper, I will not be able to dissuade you from a literalist interpretation that makes no common sense.

I have the Bible. This is what I stand upon. If you call that no proof, then you call it no proof.

Transubstantiation is Real Presence. You won't accept it because your Reformer had to create a subtle change. In my opinion, Luther failed the Reformation when he compromised with Rome.

Lammchen, why would a Baptist go to others outside the Bible to form their theology? I choose not to be distracted by your attempt to look outside the Bible when we discuss communion. Also, since the writings are centuries after Jesus and are few in number, that leaves many opportunities for...

All the Apostles baptized by immersion. Baptist's follow the Apostles example. Paul taught us to remember Christ in communion, which Baptists do. We remember and we recognize that the Spirit of God is present as we partake of the bread and the juice. But, we realize that the bread and juice...

Do you? I'll let you think you do. In any case, your denomination is younger than mine.

It's your claim. I claim the Apostles teach my position. The Anglican Church is the Church of England. It's young. You have no substantive argument. Your church is 500 years old. On a side note, off-topic, every denomination that was once propped up by governments making them the State Church...

It's real presence. You are avoiding the fact that your denomination came up with a different position 500 years ago.

Real Presence is the Roman Catholic position. Lutherans have a quasi-position that floats in limbo somewhere between real body and real blood vs symbolic body and symbolic blood. It's not real presence as was taught in the Roman Catholic Church. So, you have 500 years of your teaching being held...

Well, since the Roman Catholic Church holds to Real Presence and the wafer and wine have to actually, literally become the body and blood of Christ, it seems you are in denial. Moreso, your church didn't show up until the 1500s so your view isn't any older than any other Protestant view. Perhaps...

Despite your protest, alchemy must be involved if real presence is going to exist. The bread must become the flesh of Jesus. The wine must become the blood of Jesus. If not, then there cannot be a real presence. It is a symbolic presence. I recognize there are a few Protestant denominations that...

Yes, it seems there is an exclusive pridefulness in certain Christian traditions that is not expressed in the Bible. Rather than accept all who are born again, the fellowship only accepts all who agree to their catechism and become exclusive members of their declaration. My church practices open...

So, your churches perform a sedir meal? That is what happened in the upper room as Passover was being remembered. It is best for us all to acknowledge that we are remembering the Lord's death, burial and resurrection until his return. Whether we believe in an alchemy of chemical change or a...

Only 1/3 of Catholics believe in Real Presence. Do you refute the Pew Research? This means 2/3 of US Catholics don't believe in Real Presence. Why don't they believe in Real Presence? It seems you are in the minority.
