IT TRULY IS, but the catholics have NO IDEA what I speak of ,

IT IS MEAT TO THE SOUL ,   HIS BLOOD is LIFE to the SOUL.   nothing about our physical body , our soul....

Gnosticism, as if the Resurrection wasn't physical.

Those people are just men, and what they say are just words.  I find many of the teachings of Martin Luther completely false, so what makes you think I will regard him here?  The Bible never makes that claim, and we are forbidden to eat blood, as Simple Jeff already pointed out.  

SJ is another man just like you; so what makes you think I will regard either of you here? But as for the Bible: "... my flesh is meat indeed and my blood drink indeed" (John 6:55).

They came out and intentionally used words that were contrary to the original text to create a gender neutral Bible...

"... There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus" (Gal 3:28).

I was catholic. I never has this "access" to the body and blood of Jesus. Could you please explain.

Did you never make your First Communion?

The truth will offend some people, but that is not an appearance of evil.  We certainly should always speak the truth.

I agree, but there's timing and wisdom involved as well. Telling everything at once is not always advisable.

Here is why, to me the difference in wording matters.

Committing adultery is a form of evil.  Having a meal with a member of the opposite gender that is not your spouse or family member can be said to give an appearance of evil, but is not a form of evil. 

Having a beer in your fridge can be said to give the appearance of evil, but is not a form of evil.  Being a drunkard is a form of evil.   

 

Just as having beer in your refrigerator can trip up a weak Christian, so can you hanging out with a women who is not your wife.   A weak Christian sees you hanging out with another woman, a business lunch, test driving her car that you want to buy....he could easily assume you are looking for an affair and decide that if you can do that....it must be ok.   Avoid all appearances of evil is very good advice. 

You cannot decide what a verse says by majority vote.   What does God say?

Gary.   their is much some who were catholic do not even know about their church.    From this day forward , let no man defend that institution.

At its birth , it was spawned in darkness and not light .   Under Constantine the so called wonder church BUTCHERED real christains calling them false .

BLOOD from its birth.   a sell out , a fraud , let no man ever defend that captital of the darkness.    She is infected and infecting many now .
