What became immediately apparent is the sincerity of the positions held by Mr. Heinze., and his evident desire to be factual and true.
Which only affirms my own opinion that God Himself has a role in thesewell-intended Protestant positions which
, nevertheless, reflectserious-errant misunderstandings of Catholic Doctrines and Dogma,
along with an in ability to separate “church-practices,”
which can change, from doctrine and dogma which cannot be changed.
God Himself limits their ability to understand the bible by imposing upon them the plague of Ignorance.
This will be proven and become very evident as we proceed though the booklet Thomas authored, andwhich, God willing, we shall prove and provide biblical evidence of that explains and supports the Catholic Positions.

This ought not be a surprise to any of us who are “bible-savvy,”
as clear warning is given by God through the bible itself., in a variety of ways.
Let’s begin with an understanding that the Bibles is a Catholic Book,
in a very specific and precise manner. [This too is often debated as if there were actually grounds to despite it].
Eph.3:9 to 12 “And to make all men see what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things;
that through the church
[SINGULAR: meaningTHE CATHOLIC Church]
themanifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places.
This was according to the eternal purpose which he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness and confidence of access through our faith in him”
Matt.13:9-12 “He who has ears, let him hear." Then the disciples came and said to him,
"Why do you speak to them in parables?"
And he answered them,
"To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven,
but to them it has not been given.”
For to him who has will more be given,
and he will have abundance;
but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away. “

A Catholic reply to Protestant “[mis]- Understandings” Part 2
“Do the Bread and Wine Become Christ Body and Blood”?
My dear friends in Christ,
Allow me to please set a platform for this part of the discussion.
I do not exaggerate one iota when I claim
that this topic, while wrongly understood, is nevertheless a well thought out and formulated thesis. It is draconian in nature because it attempts to place a STAKEinto the very heart, body, mind and soul of the entirety of our Catholic beliefs. If one is unable to defend this issue,of Christ “Real Presence, one is unable to defend Catholism in total. They win; we lose! …WHY?
1324 The Eucharist is "the source and summit of the Christian life." "The other sacraments, and indeed all ecclesiastical ministries and works of the apostolate, are bound up with the Eucharist and are oriented toward it. For in the blessed Eucharist is contained the whole spiritual good of the Church, namely Christ himself, our Pasch." [Sacrifice]
The Council of Trent (1545 - 1563) defined the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist, and the Eucharist as both the continuing sacrifice of Christ and a real sacrament.
The institution of the Eucharist as sacrament was contained in the words "Do this in remembrance of me."
The date of declared “Dogma” is significant ONLY in that it raises this believe that has always been held as true, believed, understood and practiced, to a position of indisputable truth.
This was made necessary by the Protestant revolution, begun by Martin Luther which soon spread to other “I Know more or I know better” than God and the Catholic Church. Despite regional attacks throughout history , none had ever been serious enough, wide spread enough to require such an action, which has always been held as infallible truth, because God said so.
[4] It was around 1226 that catholics begin to bow down before the bread
Actually is on or far more like, much before 1171.
Eph. 3: 9-10 “And to make all men see what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages inGod who created all things;that through the church [SINGULAR] the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places.
This was according to the eternal purpose which he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord,
So my friends how are we to respond to this level of misunderstandings?
There can be and there is only one singular truth. God and logic permits only one truth per issue. With God’s assistance with we shall present it with charity, and clarity, these truths as taught By Christ Himself and allow you to decide who shares the singular truth.
In your opinion, what does the phrase "keys to the kingdom" refer to?
Quote:
“I would like just one Catholic to tell me specifically what they think these keys are that” were given to their church.
Who? Jesus the Christ [Mt. 16:16] The Son of God. All Knowing - all Wise - all everything Good. A key element of Gods Perfect Goodness is that God is and has to be “All-Fair and All Just.” Otherwise He would not be God.
The words used by Jesus are carefully selected to insure proper understanding.
[Mt. 16: 15-19] He [JESUS]
said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
Simon Peter replied,
[Peter is in a personal one on one conversation with Jesus here]
"You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
And Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jona!
For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
And [JESUS]
I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock
[ON YOU PETER]-------------------( patrick j miron delusional commentary)
I will build my [SINGULAR]
church,
and the powers of death shall not prevail against it.
[19] I [Jesus] will give you
[PETER
/ My new Church]
the keys of the kingdom of heaven,
[To be understood as everything one needs to get to heaven; Including Christ Himself]
and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven,
and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."
Back in the time if Jesus it was common for major cites to be walled in for protection from attack. These cities actually had two real GATES, with REAL KEYS. A minor gate and the Main gate.
The words used by Jesus are carefully selected to insure proper understanding.
[Mt. 16: 15-19]
He [JESUS] said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Simon Peter replied, [Peter is in a personal one on one conversation with Jesus here] "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." And Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jona! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you,
but my Father who is in heaven.
And [JESUS]I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock
[ON YOU PETER] -- deception revieled
I will build my [SINGULAR] church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it.
[19] I will give you [PETER / My new Church] the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."
This is part of the discourse in which Christ makes clear in unambiguous language that He intends to: 1. Form His Church (singular use of “I” and “you” and “church.” 2. That it is to be only ONE church. 3. That Peter is given the access (gate keys) to heaven. 4. Peter (and Peter alone) is given all of the power and authority to govern with COMPLETE autonomous authority, answering ONLY to God Himself!
We can know this by the choice of words selected by Christ.
To “bind” and to “loose” were common, rabbinical, legally binding at Law terms for exactly that! Complete, and free governance. Jesus, Peter and all that heard knew exactly what Jesus meant! Exactly what Jesus meant! At the time these were very commonly used words.
Also see [Mt. 18:15-18] "If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother.But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every word may be confirmed by the evidence of two or three witnesses.If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; [SINGULAR] and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.
Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind [Mandate / decide on] on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Eph. 4: 4 -8 “There is one body [One Church]and one Spirit, [One set of beliefs] just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call, one Lord, [One God] one faith, [One set of doctrine and dogma] one baptism,[ By water in the Trinity] one God and Father of us all, who is above all and through all and in all. But grace was given to each of us according to the measure of Christ's gift. Therefore it is said,
Eph. 5: 23 Christ is the head of the church [SINGULAR] , his body, [[SINGULAR].
1 Cor. 14: 12 “ So with yourselves; since you are eager for manifestations of the Spirit, strive to excel in building up the church. [singular]

10 that through the church [SINGULAR]
the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places.
This was according to the eternal purpose which he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord,
Col. 1: 18 “He is the head of the body [singular], the church; [singular] he is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, that in everything he might be pre-eminent. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell”

Mt. 18: 15 "If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every word may be confirmed by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them,
tell it to the church; [singular]
and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector. [18]
Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
1 Cor. 12: 12-1“For just as the body [singular] is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, [singular]though many, are one body, [singular] so it is with Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body--Jews or Greeks, slaves or free--and all were made to drink of one Spirit.”
The Keys represent unlimited Power of Governance as well as being “the [also singular] narrow gate” one MUST enter to attain salvation. PJM[Matt. 7:13-14.]
