This was in reply to a Catholic who asked
how is one to know “the truth” if we are both “inspired by the Holy
Spirit.

[in relation to understanding what the bible actually say’s. INDEED, there
position on
“The Real Presence of Christ in Holy Communion,”
They take from the bible what is literal and choose to translate it and
then turn around and take one single verse [ Jn. 6:63] which requires
PROPER translation literally
*This is the explanation from Haydock’s Catholic Commentary on v. 63*
Points out that Our Lord say’s specifically, “My Flesh” NEVER does he say
“The Flesh.”
What we receive is the now Risen and Glorified Body, Blood, Soul and
Divinity, of Jesus
“The flesh profits nothing, not even the flesh of our Savior Christ if it
were not connected to the Divinity of Jesus Christ.”

For the record, I am not a Calvinist nor share their view on the interplay of God’s sovereign will and man’s will, but I am curious what the Catholic view point is.
God Bless you

The question has been around for a long time and I know it is posed in seriousness, and I also know that it is sometimes posed as a “gotcha” question, so this is a good and welcome post and Matt gave the only really good answer there is for this logical paradox in my opinion.
I just hope people don’t feel as though they aren’t prepared to give a reason for the hope that is inside of them if they get stumped on this one. I’ve seen too many people trying to memorize arguments from their favorite apologist (no offense Matt), so that they can defend themselves against Richard Dawkins fans. These arguments never find and endpoint, and certainly Paul engaged the Greek philosophers where they were, but most of us aren’t Paul.
I still think the best testimony before anyone is to be ready at all times and with gentleness to share the hope in the salvation that comes through Christ, and for those you come into contact with to see the radiant fruit of the spirit in everything you do.
i have seen so many Catholics that think they are working4christ2 , and they can’t even, function out side of a commentary some one else taught them..
probably the most amazing thing about being raised a catholic– is that the roman catholic priests are still trying to rat tionize why their homily is boring–
where as if you go to a protestant teaching or preaching– then you can use reason and spiritual decernment to understand the value of the information..
start out with a dumb question– end up with a answer4dummies
whic is easy to accomplish is you are a coman catholic– as the Holy Cross brothers said “the church is dumbing down the parish”
so keep up the process– because i not exactly sure where in scripture that question is asked — or where it is answered–
Rock: “Yes He could, and then He would lift it.”
Square Circle: “Yes, it’s called a square.”
Though, if you think about it, Jesus is God, and while on earth, in his human nature, I’m sure there were rocks he couldn’t lift.
And no doubt your son is a budding artist.
Another reason the answer is NO! is this brief defination of God:
God is all Good things perfected.
The key words here are “good and perfect”
GREAT post
Thanks,
Patrick
