Roman Catholicism claims to be Apostolic in origin and practice. They earnestly contend that all of their Canon laws both written and unwritten has it’s origin directly and indirectly with the teachings and practices of first century Christianity under the Apostolic supervision. The dogma of Transubstantiation was officially declared to be and article of faith at the fourth Lateran Council under Pope Innocence the the third in the year 1215.Transubstantiation is this doctrine that teaches when the mass is performed by the Priest on the altar the wafer host and the wine is actually change or converted into the actual body, blood soul and Divinity of the Lord Jesus.The question is prior to the convening of this Council and the subsequent sanction of such an unscriptural dogma did the Apostles and the church fathers of the first 3 centuries of the christian faith taught that transubstantiation was an essential article and practice of the Christian faith?. Off all the abominable unscriptural teachings of Roman Catholicism this is the most blasphemous. What amount of special grace could be given to mortal men the ability to hurl the sovereign Lord from His throne in Heaven to be Divinely present in the wafer host and wine.

Luther believed in the real presence as well so be careful what you say.

If it’s wrong it’s wrong. We cant hide the truth, but we can tell it in love because it sets people free.

Written and unwritten…directly and indirectly. You’re so scattered, it’s hard to make any sense of what you mean. Let’s just bless the Lord today…

I love this…and it makes me think of the first time it was done, when Jesus was still with the disciples and broke the bread and passed the wine. Jesus certainly didn’t chop off a little piece of His flesh and bleed into a cup…if it wasn’t magically turned to body and blood with HIM there present, then why would it happen during a mass?
I agree that the thinking of transubstantiation is not right and I feel like what you said about some simple man having no power to call Christ down from he throne to jump into a cup of wine or become bread. I believe along the way people have tried to make sure everyone was taking it seriously and made it into this silly idea of transubstantiation.
