In the book of Galatia...I want to ask your opinion. In the book of Galatians, we see Paul cursing those who would seek to add even one thing to the gospel; namely, circumcision. Now Mr. Luther said to Zwingli, "We hold the belief of Christ's bodily presence in the Lord's Supper to be essential to salvation, and we cannot in conscience regard you as in the communion of the church....we acknowledge you as friends; we do not consider you as brothers."<br /><br />https://books.google.com/books?id=kFU-AAAAYAAJ&pg=PA560&lpg=PA560&dq=is+the+body+of+jesus+in+one+place+at+a+time&source=bl&ots=f4kku7dDu3&sig=WdD-l_KLKxzPNeXAo2EDe3PX81g&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjm7o7UwuXRAhUJ5WMKHeQrAzgQ6AEIOjAF#v=onepage&q=is%20the%20body%20of%20jesus%20in%20one%20place%20at%20a%20time&f=false<br /><br />As I see it, Luther's addendum to the gospel is on the same level as the addendum in Galatians. Certainly all Christians will get to heaven with an imperfect theology; however, in light of 2 Cor 11:4, there izzzzz such a thing as crossing over into, "another jesus and another gospel", and I fear M.L. crossed that line, since I am quite positive that to believe Christ is metaphysically present in a piece of bread is no more necessary for salvation than there is a man in the moon. What do you think?<br /><br />P.S. I put "eucharist" in your word search and came up with some articles, but I could not get a fix on where you stand on this issue.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420427039737373007noreply@blogger.com
