I don't understand how you fail to recognize the difference between our mortal human bodies and the Flesh of Christ.

And, you've been hung up on this consumption of blood for a long time now, as Christ's admonition of the need to consume His Blood is somehow equivalent to the blood of animals.

You take on these antics to avoid addressing the direct words of Christ.

Jesus’ body does not have blood in it now.

God never differentiated between eating the blood of animals and people.

So, if y’all believe that eating the eucharist gives life, then there are multiple problems.

One is clearly that anyone who does not eat, does not have life in them. Therefore non-Catholic communion is useless as it cannot impart life.

That means that anyone outside of the Catholic church cannot be saved.

Additionally, it does not deal with the matters of the heart. It’s strictly the flesh, and if it works, it works ALL THE TIME. It has to.

God kicked Adam and Eve out of the garden after they sinned because if they ate of the Tree of Life in a sinful state, they would be trapped in that state forever because the Tree worked because it was in it’s nature to work and it worked all the time, regardless of the condition of the heart.

Likewise, if eating imparts life, then it works all the time as it’s the nature of it to impart life, and clearly no Catholic believes that all they have to do is take communion once to be saved.
