>>But the idea of obtaining spiritual life by literally eating flesh is not foreign to paganism.<< Those who now call themselves Catholic but truly desire Christ had better take heed.

True, while i think most Protestant churches miss how the Lord's supper is to show the Lord's death till He comes. It is not by somberly ingesting a piece of bread handed out by a minister, but by unselfishly sharing a communal meal with the focus on caring for each other, because Christ "purchased with his own blood." (Acts 20:28) Thanks be to God.

We Protestants have modified what the Catholics started.

How did a YEARLY meal of rememberence of GOD’s provision and safety, get turned into what we do today?
