    Have you read Tobit, Judith, Sirach, Wisdom, and so forth?

    The New Testament consistently treats the Old Testament as authoritative Scripture while engaging with it through the linguistic and interpretive lens of the Septuagint (LXX), the Greek translation widely used in the first‑century Mediterranean world; its authors quote the LXX more often than...

    Have you read Tobit, Judith, Sirach, Wisdom, and so forth?

    inclusion i the KJV is not and has never been a valid test of canonicity.

    The actual Body and Blood, or just symbolic?

    It is the door that is like Jesus, so too, the sheepfold and neither is a metaphor. I shall bow out of further discussion along these lines with you because the discussion has become repetitive and nonproductive.

    The actual Body and Blood, or just symbolic?

    Nope, never ever. Not once. NO no no no no ;) And you say this because? Since I am not a protestant, I am wondering why you seem to expect me to follow your Protestant lead. 1 Corinthians 12:24... God has so arranged the body, giving the greater honor to the inferior member, 25 that there may...

    Salvation not based on our merit

    An answer to your first question is - Salvation is grounded upon the good work of Jesus Christ and by means of the Holy Spirit's work in the faithful Christ's work changes the inward disposition of the faithful into meritorious works and love towards others. thus, human works and merit do count...

    The actual Body and Blood, or just symbolic?

    I think that's a condescending remark. and? That's your take on it; it isn't consistent with Catholic theology nor with Catholic exegesis. In other words, you claim that you have the competency to refute all of the ancient churches and the Lutherans and the Anglicans. Yet he said, "I am the...

    The actual Body and Blood, or just symbolic?

    Do you say that Jesus is not the light of the world nor the resurrection and the life nor the good shepherd nor the door of the sheep nor I AM nor the bread of life, for me Jesus IS all of those titles which are either analogically true or ontologically true and fully applicable to the Lord...

    Have you read Tobit, Judith, Sirach, Wisdom, and so forth?

    You have repeated a Protestant point of view that none of the ancient churches shares. Brief answer: the deuterocanonical books are Old Testament writings found in the Greek Septuagint that the Catholic Church definitively affirmed as canonical at the Council of Trent and that the various...

    The actual Body and Blood, or just symbolic?

    Jesus said, "this IS my body" and "this IS the cup of my blood" had he intended to say, "this means my body" and "this means the cup of my blood" it seems like he would have said it that way. Thus, I believe that it IS the body and it IS the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. TAKE THIS, ALL OF...

    What do you think the cup used at the Last Supper was made from?

    The upper room that he and the disciples used for the last supper seems to be the same upper room mentioned in the account of Pentecost, and if that is so then it was a large room probably in the house of a well-off person perhaps one of the wealthy women who was a disciple of the Lord. Here’s...

    What do you think the cup used at the Last Supper was made from?

    no. I say no because the gospels do not tell us from what material tables, boats, or clothing were made nevertheless it is understood that boats were made from wood, tables from wood most of the time, clothing from wool or other natural fibres available in that time. So, history and archeology...

    What do you think the cup used at the Last Supper was made from?

    The cup is part of the gospel story, and a very significant part at that. But the material from which it was made is not made specific in the story. So yes, it matters, and no it is not "essential", but for my part I prefer a non-minimalist approach.

    What do you think the cup used at the Last Supper was made from?

    I agree that we do not KNOW of what material the cup was made, but surely, we can use reason and history to arrive at possible materials and to exclude impossible ones.
