People are willing to perform all kinds of mental gymnastics to justify their beliefs and their congregations, but at the end of the day, Roman Catholicism just gives Jews ammo to call Christians pagan. Saintly intercession is just a front for necromancy, veneration of Mary for idolatry, and transubstantiation for witchcraft (no priest can make a piece of bread into the body of Jesus). As for your interpretation of what Jesus means in John 6, it's somewhat flawed because of your perspective. Firstly, you should've quoted the part about why Jesus speaks in parables, to give some base to the non literal explanation. Here's the key to unlocking the meaning of John 6: John 1:14, Deuteronomy 8:3, Genesis 9:4. The key here is understanding words that the Bible substitutes for one another. The blood is Jesus' life, the flesh is the Word of God. The meaning is that to have eternal life, you must live your life by every word out of the mouth of God (so the Bible's a good start), and in doing so, live a life like Christ's.Trev of Economiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06456754084797215573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3335270607657867160.post-46447960514429604702014-11-20T01:15:45.638-08:002014-11-20T01:15:45.638-08:00First, be patient, there is an article I have been...First, be patient, there is an article I have been penning to you. It's not finished at this time.<br /><br />Second, You don't have any knowledge of my ties to Sam Shamoun so how you can claim he laughs and sees me as a clown I don't know.<br /><br />There was a time he did rightly criticise an article which I do took down. I admit it wasn't the greatest article.<br /><br />But to suggest he thinks I am a clown is absurd.<br /><br />Third, You present your comment here in a condescending and mocking tone. If thats how you want to engage in a dialogue, I will happily return the favour.<br />Answering Judaismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08118361261862962380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3335270607657867160.post-18009179615029900172014-11-19T12:22:56.576-08:002014-11-19T12:22:56.576-08:00These articles of late from you are laughably bad,...These articles of late from you are laughably bad, bobo. First off, if I bother to respond to you this time, would you be kind enough to actually engage me and read my rebuttals on my own blog and reply? Usually you just run because you have no clear answer to the questions I bring up.<br /><br />First off, you make no clear argument against "praying to saints" (I think you're talking about Saintly intercession as a general concept) besides saying it's, "ludicrous." Nice argument, pal. All the verses that urge for prayer on one's behalf.. all the verses that show Angels praying on the behalf and interceding for Man. The statement by Jesus discussing the role of Guardian Angels in an intercessory manner. The Jewish precedent and oral traditions regarding saintly intercession.All of that is simply dismissed by the "King of exegesis" bobo by saying it's, "ludicrous." And you seriously wonder why people like Sam Shamoun don't want clowns like you around anymore? <br /><br />Also your exegesis of John 6 is absolutely hideous. You make these absurd esoteric connections (Oh to drink my blood is really to spread the gospel) when denying the historical context and the actual koine greek of the passage. Tell me bobo, can you find me a single instance of the NT, LXX, Apocryphal literature, or any time in Koine Greek where the word "trogo" means something symbolic? You are going against the basic reading and performing absolute mental gymnastics since you're trapped. <br /><br />I plan to write a response to you on my own blog (which is doing very well) but I honestly don't even know if it's worth it anymore. You've shown a rather desperate attempt at fighting Catholic Dogmas and your newest article is laughably bad. <br /><br />Funny enough, Catholic apologist Dave Armstrong wrote an article about this as of late: <br />http://socrates58.blogspot.com/2014/11/veneration-of-and-bowing-before-angels.html<br /><br />I would like to think you'd read it and learn something, but based upon past experiences that is extremely unlikely.
