Christ the Son of God instituted the sacrament of the Eucharist - the Bread and Wine becoming His Body and Blood - at the Last Supper.

Just to remind the thread about the institution of the Eucharist, and to show its provenance in the early Church.

From Luke:

And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood."

If any corroborating evidence were needed, St Paul speaks about the Eucharist in Corinthians.

And when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.”

For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord.

Which I quote at length because it shows that the Eucharist was celebrated in the extremely early Church.

Christ commanded us to eat His Body and drink His Blood: He also commanded us to re-enact the Eucharist.

It is fun to dress up and play pretend, isn't it?

Now this is just shameful. You've likened Christ's Sacrifice on the cross - the sacrifice of the Lamb reenacted faithfully by His Church - to a pretence; to a game of dress-up.

But even as you pour scorn upon Christ's words at the Last Supper you are echoing part of His Passion. The soldiers literally played dress-up with Christ: they crowned Him with thorns and clothed Him in garments of derison.

You read things into my post that I did not post. YOU are the one who said that during mass you are actually transported to those places and indicating time travel. YOU said that it was REALLY HAPPENING AT THAT MOMENT during a mass. Sounded more sci-fi to me than it seemed spiritual.

You exaggerated and projected meanings onto me in your last paragraph that I neither said or have done. You are a false accuser on FR...who cannot spell worth a squat. So I will inform you that your post is error-filled with more than mere misspellings...a lot more that needs correct doctrine before you lash out at me again.

Yes Paul did...And Paul said to eat this in remembrance of Jesus suffering on the Cross and the blood that was shed...

Reenacted by his Church??? At which point do you beat him senseless...At which point in your ritual do you hammer the spikes thru his body, and thrust the spear in his side...

Where in the world do you see Jesus' sacrifice on the Cross by eating a piece of bread??? Use your head...

And here's the clincher:

1Co 11:26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.
Mat_26:29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.

Paul knew and admitted it was bread, not flesh...And Jesus knew and admitted it was wine, not blood...

How do you let some guy up there in a robe tell you differently???
