Yes, I addressed this nonsense also, among the dozen or so deniers posting here.

The Eucharist is not a violation of the Law.
The Eucharist isn’t consumption of Blood in the normal sense.
Otherwise, we’d be cannibals. Although it’s literally Jesus’ Body and Blood, we aren’t destroying Jesus in the process.
So it’s no more against Jewish kosher laws than it is against the Christian prohibition against cannibalism.

You haven't as clue! Does the following register with your brain? ... "For the Life is IN the blood". THAT is about the creature side of living things. JESUS --God with us-- is addressing the spiritual nature because THAT is what He (God with us) came to redeem!

Your mind is carnal, focused upon a carnal perspective. Jesus knew His disciples, His closest followers, needed to be brought out of the carnal and refocused upon the spirit.

As He told Nicodemus, just as the Brass snake in the desert, when looked upon and believing God's Promise, would heal the physical body, He, Jesus (God with us) came to be lifted up to heal the spirit ... HEAL THE SPIRITUAL side of you, not the carnal side.

The directing of the will of the man is the method by which God heals the dead soul/spirit. When were the three thousand saved, born from above, on the day of Pentecost? when were the folks in the house of Cornelius saved? There is not one word of taking the Lord's Table at either of those momentous moments in human History, when GOD's Salvation came to the Jews, then to the Gentiles.

"Salvation cometh by HEARING and hearing by the Word of God". Saving the soul is not done by some carnal ingestion ritual performed by a specious priestly class, it is done by individually bowing THE WILL to accept what He did for us on that Cross.

You keep pointing to the scene in Matthew of the Lord's Table, when He took bread as the symbol of His body, not His body, BREAD; and He passed the cup of WINE, not transmogrified blood, and taught us how to do this ritual to focus our hearts upon His work done THE NEXT DAY on our behalf.

Two points you refuse to see are: 1) He instituted the Red>REMEBRANCE BEFORE He went to the cross; 2) He told them He would not drink wine again until in the Kingdom, identifying FOR YOU that there was ONLY wine in the cup, that using the symbols we affirm The Body of Christ, His Bride, His Ekklesia.

You insist on twisting the spiritual REMEMBRANCE into a pagan rite, which was very familiar to the Roman devils whose descendants now mock God with this devilish rite of flesh and blood supposedly transfigured from bread and wine (and now not even the wine!) into real flesh and blood of the idolatrous catholic religion's jesus.

Dude, you are disgusting as you continue pushing this paganization of the Spiritual which Jesus started for spiritual benefit ON THE NIGHT BEFORE HE WENT TO THE CROSS. Only via sick magic thinking can you continue to insist He served His real flesh and real blood for His disciples to imbibe before He had actually die upon that cruel cross. You are disgusting. YOU would have us believe Jesus will be drinking blood IN THE KINGDOM!

I'm going to tell you this one more time: you do not get God inside of your spirit by swallowing flesh and blood magically transmogrified from bread and wine for digesting in the alimentary tract.
