Those who do not believe in Christ's church now (the One, Holy, Catholic & Apostolic Church) WILL believe when they meet their maker... only then, sadly, it will be too late. Pray for those who are rejecting the gift of Faith... I will be ending the comment sessions if I figure out how. In the mean time, pray for me!

I would just like to point out that since Jesus is the Head of the Church that he founded the first official Church reference to the Eucharist was about 27 - 33 A.D. When he himself stated that this IS my body and this IS my blood.

lametree - 1Cor 10:16, "The cup of the blessing that we bless, IS IT NOT THE SHARING OF THE BLOOD OF CHRIST? And the bread that we break, IS IT NOT THE PARTAKING OF THE BODY OF THE LORD?"

No symbolism in the first century from St. Paul here in this verse...

I say : Do not reject the Eucharist his Body which is the bread given to us. You may not be catholic but you cannot deny Jesus presence in the Eucharist because he will ask you why u denied it! I do believe that tradition and scripture are important because I am a catholic

You are wrong on your dates lamritee, the first Official Church reference to the Eucharist as the Body of Christ dates to the the first Council of Nicea in 325AD. Also it is referenced multiple times in the Early Church writings before this. Go to Catholic dot com and read the article on the real presence. I will go to your site.

Lametree - Exactly. The disciples that walked away from Jesus' teaching about his eternal sacrifice in the Eucharist are the same people today who lack faith in Jesus' same words 2,000 years later. They rejected the beliefs of the 1st century Christians who received Jesus in the Eucharist then, and the anti-Catholics of today are keeping that tradition alive and well.

lametree - and certainly no symbolism from St. Paul in this verse either - 1Cor 11:27-29, "Therefore, whoever eats this bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily, will be guilty of the Body and the Blood of the Lord. But let a man prove himself, and so let him eat of that bread and drink of the cup; FOR HE WHO EATS AND DRINKS UNWORTHILY, WITHOUT DISTINGUISHING THE BODY, EATS AND DRINKS JUDGMENT (the word is 'damnation' in the King James Bible) TO HIMSELF."

lametree - and you lack faith in Jesus teaching of his eternal sacrifice in the Eucharist - the same lack of faith by diciples who walked away from him because his teaching was "too hard" to accept.

lame - If you are making this same old claim that the Catholic Mass "recrucifies" Jesus, then you are completely ignorant of what the Catholic Mass is. It is really amazing as to how, thru the slight of hand with terminology, the anti-Catholic zealots twist words to invent falso accusations such as this. If you want facts and truth regarding the Catholic Mass, get your answers from the Catholic Church, not Jack Chick.

Lame - just what exactly are you asserting is being "repeated"???? Be specific.
