“Have you accepted Jesus as your Savior?”

Every Sunday and some weekdays when my family and I receive the Eucharist in fulfilling the following Scripture:

“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him” (John 6:53–56)

Myself personally Every Sunday and Holy Day of Obligation for about the past 55+ years....

For the Greater Glory of God

That is your understanding of “have you accepted Jesus as your savior”? Please tell me it isn’t because if it is you have some serious disappointments ahead.

Isn't once enough?

Why do Catholics feel they need to re do it all the time?

Don't they believe His words?

Yeah; Catholics do it like Jesus did...

NOT!


Except the once a year meal of rememberence somehow got CHANGED into a pale impersonization of a thing done anytime the church doors are open.


1 Corinthians 11:25

In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”


Jesus knew EXACTLY how OFTEN this was; as did all the Disciples - once a year.

"CHURCH" has made it so common place it has lost the specialness of it.
