IF YOU RECOGNIZE the tumult resulting from subjective caprice, that is, thinking concepts such as "woman" are up to every individual, then you also ought to recognize the same with regard to Christ's meaning about eating His flesh. (John 6)
Truth is not something we can presume to determine; it is an objective Something in which we are determined. Without which, all social order, all language, and all concepts are absurd. After all, who are you to say?
ON THE EUCHARIST, if the biblical context wasn't clear enough on its importance ("Verily, verily I say unto you..."), or on what Christ clearly meant in allowing followers to depart from Him (John 6:66), please do your own research on what was undisputedly understood from the very beginning and throughout the first 1500 years of church history.
And then ask the question: Did God change His mind?
WHETHER EXPLICIT OR IMPLICIT, every believer has a "vicar," one whose authority they regard to interpret the Word. As a result, note over 30,000 denominations (splinters from the whole), each presuming to do the same. Which is it?
If you're not Catholic, a big question: Where in the Bible does your pastor derive his/her authority on consequential matters? Would Christ have prayed so fervently for our unity without providing the means to fulfill it? (John 17)
BIBLICAL, LOGICAL, HISTORICAL FACT:
If we believe in the authority of the Word, we must believe in the authority of the CONTEXT that determined that Word, an AUTHORITATIVE CONTEXT which arbitrated among competing conceptions of scripture from the earliest centuries up till the present day, including all councils. This CONTEXT is none other than "the church, the pillar, and foundation of truth." (1 Tim. 3:15)
IN MY LIFE, I've encountered hundreds who, availing to the sure verdict of truth and having every question about Catholicism... Mary, Saints, Eucharist, Purgatory, Infallibility, Authority, Sacraments... discovered the path lining the Catholic Church. I have not found even one who, on a scholarly, truth-seeking basis, departed from the Catholic Church.
ALL THAT SAID, I've encountered way, way too many who profess the immeasurable banquet of Catholicism but are languishing, barely partaking of the scraps. On the other hand, I've encountered many evangelical Christians who are partaking of all they know and profess and evidence a vibrant life in Jesus Christ.
WHAT IF? When Evangelicals discover their Catholic roots and Catholics rediscover their evangelical wings, we will be One (John 17), lifting this planet to heaven.
