I suppose that He'll be checking your digestive tract for wafers at the gates to determain whether you're allowed in, or not,...HE meaning Christ Himself.

Mocking the body and blood is a sure way to get me to ignore your other useless questions.

Mocking the body and the blood?

Tell me about the body and the blood then will you?

I was poking at you a little, but no, I wasn’t mocking Christ.

Christ’s body was given for us as a substitute on the cross for our sins, and his blood was shed for the forgiveness of those sins. There is no remission of sins without the shedding of blood.

How is this then applied to us? By trust, by accepting it, by believing it. Not by participating in the Eucharist.

The Body of Christ is at the Right Hand Of GOD and Christ still occupies it now and forever. The Lords Supper is a remembrance rite just as the Feast of the Passover was. GOD has already accepted the sacrifice of Christ now and forever. He showed His body to His Disciples after he was resurrected.

The word remembrance is used in the Bible in relation to The Lords Supper. Remembrance is of an event that has past it is past tense. Christ is very much alive and His presence is already among those in church before any bread is broken or wine drank. How do we know this? Because Christ said "where two or more are gathered in my there there I am also."

Paul had to deal with a churches or several churches abuses of this as they were making it a drunken feast.

It can also be pointed out the Christ after His resurrection walked and talked with His Disciples. Luke gives the account. He gave them Bread and he gave them wine. At this point they realized who he was as their eyes were open or as it was revealed to them.

The Lords Supper is an observance in remembrance of His Body killed as the sacrificial lamb bearing our sins and His blood which was shed for us sealing the New Covenant. It is however a solemn and serious observance one of which a person should examine their heart and spiritual self before engaging in it.
