If I'M wrong about the Eucharist, I get to stand in front of Jesus and say "I'm sorry I took you too literally, Lord."

If YOU'RE wrong, you get to say "I'm sorry I didn't believe you, Lord."

I'd rather be in my shoes than those.

And that's where Jesus says, 'Get away from me, I never knew you'...

But it's far bigger than that...It's 'what are you counting on to get you to heaven'...Are you trusting in what Jesus did for you or are you trusting in what you do for Jesus???

And there's the Spiritual aspect of Christianity...

Rom 8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
Rom 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Rom 8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
Rom 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
Rom 8:12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
Rom 8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
Rom 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
Rom 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
Rom 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

These are plain words...They don't need interpretation...Do you have the Spirit of God within you??? Does THAT Spirit confirm with your spirit that you are a child of God???

IF you never went to your Church again, would that Spirit still confirm that you are still a child of God???

Rom 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

If you don't know if you have that Spirit within you, you likely don't...
