Thanks for taking him to task, and thanks for addressing this Delaney on the Eucharist.<br /><br />By the way, that St. Cyril of Alexandria quote is great. If you haven't, you should check out Hidden Manna, a great book on the subject relying on the Early Church Fathers.Joe Heschmeyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06998682878420098470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3866611.post-79541559400099157382009-07-03T23:46:53.992-07:002009-07-03T23:46:53.992-07:00Thanks Nick!Thanks Nick!Scott Windsorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01961374547503296840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3866611.post-57519546778535314422009-06-24T00:20:58.667-07:002009-06-24T00:20:58.667-07:00Check out this quote from the main decree of the C...Check out this quote from the main decree of the Council of Ephesus, if you've never see it you will be impressed. This is what St Cyril of Alexandria said against Nestorius at the Council:<br /><br />"Proclaiming the death, according to the flesh, of the Only-begotten Son of God, that is Jesus Christ, confessing his resurrection from the dead, and his ascension into heaven, <b>we offer the Unbloody Sacrifice in the churches</b>, and so go on to the mystical thanksgivings, and are sanctified, having <b>received his Holy Flesh and the Precious Blood of Christ</b> the Saviour of us all. And not as common flesh do we receive it; God forbid: nor as of a man sanctified and associated with the Word according to the unity of worth, or as having a divine indwelling, but as <b>truly the Life-giving and very flesh of the Word himself</b>. For he is the Life according to his nature as God, and when he became united to his Flesh, he made it also to be Life-giving, as also he said to us: <b>Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his Blood.</b>"<br />http://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/npnf214.x.viii.html<br /><br /><br />Look at what is affirmed here:<br />1) The Mass is a Sacrifice.<br />2) Jesus is substantially present.<br />3) John 6 was seen as the Eucharist.<br /><br />This is the Third Ecumenical Council, this squashes the Protestant position. From a Protestant point of view, what was said here is unBiblical and very blasphemous and not part of true Christianity.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01453168437883536663noreply@blogger.com
