It's true that bread is coming to Christ and Drink is Faith. But why Jesus use REAL bread and REAL wine when He said, "For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed"?

[SeptemberCatholic18]

@brijavpogi Actually, I believe he also said "This is my body" and "this is my blood."

@repentNOWunbelievers Woa. You calling Our Lord Satan? You know, it's funny, the Eucharist was a hard teaching for Christ's disciples as well, most were incredulous and deserted Him because of it. Sound familiar?

[ChrisDaron]

@repentNOWunbelievers God, you're so dumb it isn't even funny...

Wrong. God forbids the eating of animals with their lifeblood still in them. It was a kosher law for the Jews. Nevertheless, Jesus' blood is beyond comparison. His blood saves.

You are VERY wrong about the list. Those are not the dates that the teachings were invented. Those are dates when those teachings were solemnly defined. There is a difference. For example, the Trinity was solemnly defined at Nicaea, but it was always a teaching and it was always true!

[kiwichristian2009]

@SeptemberCatholic18 But that is NOT what the Word of God says, does it? It says "blood". Not "blood of animals".I have a list of heresies and the dates they were instituted by the rcc. 1215 AD Mass a Sacrifice of Christ, 1217 AD Adoration and Elevation of Host: ie. communion bread (Pope Honrius III)

@kiwichristian2009

God did not forbid drinking the blood of Christ; he forbade drinking the blood of an animal. Unless you want to compare Christ to an animal, you have to admit this is a flimsy argument.

This teaching was adopted by the Church the moment Christ told us to eat his flesh and drink his blood in John 6:53-55.

Jesus did not say it was spiritual in verse 63. He said that his words are spirit and truth. The Spirit testifies to the truth. OUR flesh profits nothing. Christ's does.

[kiwichristian2009]

@SeptemberCatholic18 In JN 6:63 He even told us the words are SPIRITUAL! Jesus SAID the words are SPIRITUAL the FLESH profits NOTHING!

@SeptemberCatholic18 My friend, how do you explain God forbidding man to drink blood in light of this whole communion thing? Also, what year was this adopted into the catholic church and how often should we do this? Show me biblical references please. Show me how often the apostles partook of this and show me that it mirrors what the catholic church now does.
