Knowing Christ's words

[Heidi]

It is St. Igatius then who is apparently the heretic. I believe each and every one of Christ's words. I believe we have to eat the body of Christ and drink His blood to have life in us. I also see the bread and wine as his body and blood but am doing it in REMEMBRANCE of Christ. His real body and blood are in me in the form of the Holy Ghost beause we can't get life from bread and wine, only from the SPIRIT. Communion is simply a remembrance of Him. I have eternal life through His spirit in me which NO ONE can EVER snatch out of my heart, not from performing a ceremony. I perform the ceremony out of LOVE for Him. For if we have not love, then ALL the sacrements and "good works" are meaningless!

[Heidi]

I want to make this even clearer so there is no misunderstanding about what He's saying. The Holy Spirit IS the body and blood of Christ inside of us. That is why it also called the Holy Ghost and referred to as a "He". Gal. 2:20, "For it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me."  I only perform communion as a token of remembrance out of love for what He has done for me.

Heidi,

A few questions to clarify a few things.

Do you think that Ignatius is a heretic, wrong in his understanding because he differs with your interpretation?

If it is your interpretation, how would that be different from the way you think that he has derived his interpretation?

If you say that you were led by the Holy Spirit and therefore your interpretation is correct, how do you know that Ignatius has not claimed the same thing?

If he in fact has made that claim, then who is correct? You or he?

Do you know how to determine who is correct?
