Yes I hunger for Jesus every day and I am able to receive His Body and Blood at Mass which quenches my hunger and thirst until I join Him in Heaven. I try to live my life based on God’s will. I feel Jesus in my life and appreciate all the blessings that come from Him.
Why such animus towards the Real Presence? According to the Bible the non believers stopped following Christ. Jesus saw their lack of faith. Are you a faithful follower of Jesus or is your faith dependent on your protest doctrine?
Why not just accept the Real Presence based on faith because Jesus told us that this was His Body and Blood? Just put aside your concerns and accept His love and gift.
Remember what Jesus said to doubting Thomas.
May God Bless your faith journey.
The Jesus you proclaim sinned by eating blood and encouraging others to do so per the Catholic belief. A Jesus that broke the law against eating blood can't save anyone.
Christ's presence is in the heart and life of the believer, where He's taken up residence.
Jesus does not inhabit a wheat wafer, no matter what it's called.
Acts 17:24-25 The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything.
Acts 17:29 Being then God's offspring, we ought not to think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of man.
Leviticus 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
That is upon not at and certainly not in your bellies.
Leviticus 17:12 Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood.
Leviticus 17:14 For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.
Deuteronomy 12:16 Only ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon the earth as water. ... Luke 22:20 Likewise, he took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you."
By Catholic reasoning, Catholics would have us believe the new covenant is a cup!
To catholics we would say, eat the blood, be cut off [Lev 17:14] This is much more serious than a thread on an Internet website.
