"My Jesus isn’t a cracker."

Neither is the Jesus that Catholics believe in. But the Eucharist found in Catholic Churches at the Holy Mass is, in fact, the Most Holy Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, really and truly present. We have it from Jesus' own lips in the Gospels, and from St. Paul in 1 Corinthians 11--not to mention 2000 years of unanimous Church teaching. That's good enough for me.

So Jesus ate Himself at The Last Supper. See how heresies sound really dumb when you really think about them?

Jesus also said he was a “vine,” a “door,” a “stone,” and a “lamb,” among many other things. Please elaborate.

Let's think about this. If the "Eucharist" (the cracker) in the Catholic mass is the literal body and blood of Jesus Christ, it must have all the properties of Jesus Christ, who is God. It must have ALWAYS been Jesus Christ, not just after a priest says the magic words over it, as the RCC teaches. And it must NEVER CEASE to be Jesus Christ after we eat it, and even as it passes through our digestive systems and out of our alimentary canal. God is the same yesterday, today, and forevermore.

That the priest can somehow "produce God" where God wasn't at some prior period is absurd. This is nowhere taught in Scripture.

More holy than when we celebrate communion, as in the Eucharist, at home, just my wife and I, without benefit of RC clergy? We celebrate with the body and blood of Jesus...Jesus said very simply, “This is my body...” “This is my blood...”
