Your logic doesn’t compute.

Your comment: “Acts 15:20 Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood”

How does the blood and meat of animals sacrificed to idols compare to Jesus giving us the gift of His Body and Blood?

You seem to repeat the “talking points” without fully understanding their meaning. The purpose of the letter was addressed so the gentiles could become followers of Christ without having to follow mosacic law from the Old Testament.

So with your logic, do you eat meat (and blood) from animals? If it was a sin for Christ, it must be a sin for you?

I think it is a sin to reject Christ and His Eucharist and His words that His Body and Blood are the food for eternal salvation.

Does your twisting of words never stop. Read this again.

The and from blood is separate from the idols and from the strangled animals. It truly says don't eat blood.

>>So with your logic, do you eat meat (and blood) from animals?<<

No, I don't eat blood. I butcher my own and the blood is drained on the ground as is instructed in scripture. Oh, and please don't come back with "there is still blood left". NO there is not. The red coloring is NOT the blood. It is simply some red corpuscles from the meat tissue.

>>I think it is a sin to reject Christ and His Eucharist<<

I know it is a sin to eat blood and misunderstand Jesus words.

What 'gift'?

The Jews ate this stuff every year for CENTURIES.

Jesus was telling them what it represented.

After His resurrection it STILL 'represented' His body and His blood.

It never did change, miraculously into His body and His blood.

Your church has POUNDED this 'miracle' into your head so much you are on autopilot; not noticing the big iceberg ahead!
