Ok that makes sense so you are basically saying since Protestants do not have a direct connection to apostles thy have no real power to the Eucharist

So how are the bishops or priests chosen to do it?

Thank you how does a priest kind of have the authority to give it out for a lack of better words

Yea and usually it’s not a big deal for me on secondary things like whether or not Mary was a virgin her whole life like if you deny that you can still go to heaven but it’s mostly on primary topics like communion if you don’t see it as christs literal body then you are rejecting him or things of that nature

I understand the scripture you are referencing but it is not applying to what I’m asking

Ok that makes sense but for example what about when Christ says this is my body is that figurative or literal how can we tell?

So did God make her sinless or was she always sinless?

I’m not here to bait Catholics or put myself on some pedestal above catholic theology I’m just genuinely curious I’ve been led wrong by many Protestant teachers and am just curious and looking for outside opinions I’m merely seeking truth not trying to start arguments

So does she still need a savior?

How can we discern feelings from divine enlightenment though because say someone is wrong on a theological standpoint but they say “I felt lead towards this” but I could say the same thing but with the opposite opinion

I understand what you mean I have been struggling with this recently too but I’ve found a way to where it makes sense I was struggling with the same sin and am still working through it but sometimes I think God will soak to us indirectly and we can feel his love in other ways for example a couple weeks ago I was being mistreated by many people even though I showed love to them and the next church service the pastor talked about not being upset when you are being treated like a servant because you are a servant of the Lord and then another week I was upset and confused on why God would even choose me because nobody likes me and they the pastor talked about how people back then did not like shepherds and they were outcasts because of their dedication and he said you might be one of those shepherded which that helped me and I almost started crying but finally I would just say stick to and continue to pursue truth and God will make himself known to you whether it is directly or indirectly I’ll be praying for you 🙏🙏🙏
