@cj1775 @JimSanoBC79 @iamrjknight It's clear you have no understanding in the context and exegesis of Scripture. John 6 has to do with abiding in Christ through faith alone in Jesus Christ. The Eucharist was not even practiced when Jesus was teaching this. It's symbolic for faith.
English

@BootlegBishop @JimSanoBC79 @iamrjknight You are not Apostolic. Your "pastor " has not been given that power. Christ himself call the bread his body and the wine his blood. It is not symbolic.
English

John 6 is not about the Roman Eucharist but about believing in Christ, not consuming Him physically. Jesus said, “The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life” (John 6:63). That alone tells us He was speaking spiritually, not literally. He was explaining saving faith using the language of eating and drinking as metaphors for inward trust and union with Him.
If you read the passage carefully, He says repeatedly, “Whoever believes has eternal life” (John 6:47), before He ever mentions eating His flesh or drinking His blood. The entire chapter is about faith in His person and His work, not the consumption of His body in a ritual. When the Jews misunderstood Him literally, He didn’t clarify with a sacrament - He exposed their unbelief.
The bread of life discourse points forward to the cross, not to the Mass. Jesus offered Himself once for all (Hebrews 10:10-14). The Roman claim that Christ is physically present and re-sacrificed in the Eucharist directly contradicts that finality. The Lord’s Supper is a memorial of that finished work, not a continuation of it.
As for incorrupt bodies, Scripture never once uses physical preservation as proof of holiness. The Pharisees’ tombs were well kept too, and Jesus called them whitewashed. Pagans have displayed “incorrupt” bodies long before Rome existed. Egypt, Tibet, and even Buddhist monasteries have them. Should we call their faiths true as well?
Holiness isn’t proven by a corpse that doesn’t decay but by a heart regenerated by the Spirit. And no, Protestants don’t need to produce “incorrupt saints,” because we don’t need dead bodies to prove the power of God.
The empty tomb of Christ already did that.

@iamrjknight Jeremiah, what's your view of the Eucharist in John 6? Symbolic, or literal? And as for incorruptibility, is is powerful evidence of real sanctity because it doesn't happen naturally. If it was so easy to produce incorrupt saints, prots should be able to produce a handful too!

@JimSanoBC79 @cj1775 @iamrjknight Ok. Maybe you all should push to amend the Catechism to align with Scripture.
English

@BootlegBishop @cj1775 @iamrjknight It is re-presentation of the eternal sacrifice. Christ is not re-sacrificed in the Eucharist, but that act of love, mercy and grace is made present on the altar as He commanded.
English

@JimSanoBC79 @cj1775 @iamrjknight Yes, I did. So you acknowledge it's a sacrifice, correct. Christ is no longer a sacrifice or a victim. He did it once and is now seated at the right hand of the Father with all power and authority in His hand.
English

@BootlegBishop @cj1775 @iamrjknight That is a bloodless and eternal sacrifice and not a re-sacrifice. Are you reading what you sent?
English

Is this not in your Catechism?
The sacrificial memorial of Christ and of his Body, the Church
1362 The Eucharist is the memorial of Christ's Passover, the making present and the sacramental offering of his unique sacrifice, in the liturgy of the Church which is his Body. In all the Eucharistic Prayers we find after the words of institution a prayer called the anamnesis or memorial.
1363 In the sense of Sacred Scripture the memorial is not merely the recollection of past events but the proclamation of the mighty works wrought by God for men. 184 In the liturgical celebration of these events, they become in a certain way present and real. This is how Israel understands its liberation from Egypt: every time Passover is celebrated, the Exodus events are made present to the memory of believers so that they may conform their lives to them.
1364 In the New Testament, the memorial takes on new meaning. When the Church celebrates the Eucharist, she commemorates Christ's Passover, and it is made present the sacrifice Christ offered once for all on the cross remains ever present. 185 "As often as the sacrifice of the Cross by which 'Christ our Pasch has been sacrificed' is celebrated on the altar, the work of our redemption is carried out." 186
1365 Because it is the memorial of Christ's Passover, the Eucharist is also a sacrifice. The sacrificial character of the Eucharist is manifested in the very words of institution: "This is my body which is given for you" and "This cup which is poured out for you is the New Covenant in my blood." 187 In the Eucharist Christ gives us the very body which he gave up for us on the cross, the very blood which he "poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins." 188
1366 The Eucharist is thus a sacrifice because it re-presents (makes present) the sacrifice of the cross, because it is its memorial and because it applies its fruit:
[Christ], our Lord and God, was once and for all to offer himself to God the Father by his death on the altar of the cross, to accomplish there an everlasting redemption. But because his priesthood was not to end with his death, at the Last Supper "on the night when he was betrayed," [he wanted] to leave to his beloved spouse the Church a visible sacrifice (as the nature of man demands) by which the bloody sacrifice which he was to accomplish once for all on the cross would be re-presented, its memory perpetuated until the end of the world, and its salutary power be applied to the forgiveness of the sins we daily commit. 189
1367 The sacrifice of Christ and the sacrifice of the Eucharist are one single sacrifice: "The victim is one and the same: the same now offers through the ministry of priests, who then offered himself on the cross; only the manner of offering is different." "And since in this divine sacrifice which is celebrated in the Mass, the same Christ who offered himself once in a bloody manner on the altar of the cross is contained and offered in an unbloody manner. . . this sacrifice is truly propitiatory." 190
English

@BootlegBishop @cj1775 @iamrjknight It tells us of the Real Presence of Christ in His eternal sacrifice through the action of Christ Himself. What are you focused on in your question? There is no re-sacrifice but a trust in Christ’s command to His apostolic Church.
English

The Holy Spirit continues to soften my heart, glory be to God. Our church has Communion once a month in Thanksgiving and reverence to God for the sacrifice Christ made once and for all more than 2,000 years ago. It's not a re-sacrifice nor is the presence of Jesus's flesh and blood in the wafer (bread) or drink.
English

@BootlegBishop @JimSanoBC79 @iamrjknight You don't know Christ better than those who walked with him. It is a command not an ask. Jesus gave POWER to the his disciples to make his church. They had to institute it. I pray the Holy Spirit softens your heart my friend.
English

@BootlegBishop @cj1775 @iamrjknight Mass is not a re-sacrifice. If you study the Passover, "remembrance" meant to make truly present again as we are commanded to do with Christ's Body and Blood in His eternal sacrifice. Jesus becomes truly present in the Eucharist. Does that help to clarify His command to us?
English

@cj1775 @JimSanoBC79 @iamrjknight There is no need to sacrifice Christ at every Mass. The work He did for the atonement of sins is finished! Once and for all.
English

@BootlegBishop @JimSanoBC79 @iamrjknight The last supper is a command. He Tells us to Eat and Drink. Do this in memory of me!
English

Such an asinine take sir. Eagles always have depth at the QB position. You don't get a soon to be 39-yr old QB if you're worried about Hurts. The Eagles had Sam Howell as their 3rd QB last season. This could be more about a prospective trade of Tanner McKee. Stay in your lane and keep reporting on the perpetual underwhelming Dallas Cowboys.
English

Very clearly and obviously and undeniably a trade because of a lack of faith in Hurts, no question
Adam Schefter@AdamSchefter
Trade: Panthers are trading veteran QB Andy Dalton to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a 2027 seventh-round pick, per sources.
English

@Savageboston @ProFootballTalk So if that's the case and I preface this because it's Florio, then why do the Patriots and fans want him?
English

REPORT
per: @ProFootballTalk
The Rams got “scared off” from making an AJ Brown trade with the Eagles due to preliminary medical research on Brown’s knee.
Not worth the investment for the Rams.
😳

@DanSileoShow @MarchMadnessMBB You apparently didn't follow most of his advice, because you are below mid my brother. Dick Enberg be like "I didn't tell you to do that!"
English


@RollPhillyDawgz @EmmanuelAcho Acho's a hater because he was a below mid football player. Congrats on his post-football career since he has built a formidable platform. But he be hating for sure.
English

“You still talking about Jalen Hurts or Patrick Mahomes”
*side eyes to see if anyone laughed*
@EmmanuelAcho no wonder Jalen don’t talk to you. You just a dry ass hater
English

@NFL_DovKleiman Awesome experience. God is great! Congratulations

@RoomFulOMirrors @JonMarksMedia Get a life. That's your reality.
English

@BootlegBishop @JonMarksMedia You repost your own tweets, the true sign of a psychopathic virgin that lives in their mom's basement. Fuck off
English

AJ Brown true value is WHATEVER ANOTHER TEAM IS WILLING TO PAY. We’ll find out what that is if and when he’s traded
Will Campbell Franchise LG@TheJoeyMcNeely
The Eagles traded a 1st and a 4th round pick for AJ Brown, a 25 year old receiver. They are not turning around and getting a 1st and a 2nd for 29 year old AJ Brown on a big contract. This shouldn’t be hard for people to comprehend.
English

@RoomFulOMirrors @JonMarksMedia It's not. The Eagles will get the value they want or he's not getting traded, full stop.
English

@BootlegBishop @JonMarksMedia So you can sit there and say with a straight face his issue isn't worse now? You are living in denial
English

@rem101919 @TheJoeyMcNeely They signed Hollywood Brown to replace their #3 receiver Jahan Dotson. Cope...
English

@BootlegBishop @TheJoeyMcNeely Whatever you say !! They signed Hollywood for a reason lmao. We’ll see come June. He gone
English

@RoomFulOMirrors @JonMarksMedia Stop being thirsty for AJ.
English

@BootlegBishop @JonMarksMedia Stop living in the past
English

@rem101919 @TheJoeyMcNeely They won the Super Bowl with him being a distraction. That's nothing.
English

@BootlegBishop @TheJoeyMcNeely They absolutely want him out lol they don’t want that distraction. they’re not going to come out and say that and lower his value anymore. A first round pick is more than fair. He’ll be 29 at start of season. Be more realistic
English

@BuffCommander @allblackchro @BiidBigger @MakeNYMGreat22 @TheJoeyMcNeely That's old news. They have a whole new offensive coaching staff.
English

@allblackchro @BiidBigger @BootlegBishop @MakeNYMGreat22 @TheJoeyMcNeely I’m saying this with the utmost respect (so don’t take it the wrong way) but Philly’s passing scheme is a problem. It’s either that or it’s Hurts. Also, the saints are playing from behind a ton. Olave is a solid player but not in AJ’s stratosphere
English

@RoomFulOMirrors @JonMarksMedia He was a distraction the year we won the Super Bowl.
English

@BootlegBishop @JonMarksMedia If he's salty he's salty isn't going to cut it, will be a distraction all year
