Because He said so..."TAKE AND EAT OF THIS, THIS IS MY BODY WHICH WILL BE GIVEN UP FOR YOU.......THIS IS MY BLOOD WHICH WILL BE SHED FOR YOU.....Present tense statements describing future tense happenings.
You really should get a tagline more suited to your ... derangements.
Luke 22:17 Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and said, Take this and share it among yourselves, 18 because I tell you, from now on I will never drink the product of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.19 Then he took a loaf of bread, gave thanks, broke it in pieces, and handed it to them, saying, This is my body, which is given for you. Keep on doing this in memory of me.
20 He did the same with the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant sealed by my blood, which is being poured out for you.
[Augustine said of this memoria, if it appears something violates the law then it should be taken figuratively; Jesus ends the lesson by identifying the cup contents as fruit of the vine. He is using a sacred symbology that Catholicism has twisted into a blasphemy.]
Mark 14:22 While they were eating, Jesus took a loaf of bread and blessed it. Then he broke it in pieces and handed it to them, saying, Take some. This is my body. 23 Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it. 24 He told them, This is my blood of the covenant that is being poured out for many people. 25 I tell all of you with certainty, Ill never again drink the product of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.
Matthew 26:26 While they were eating, Jesus took a loaf of bread and blessed it. Then he broke it in pieces and handed it to the disciples, saying, Take this and eat it. This is my body. 27 Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink from it, all of you, 28 because this is my blood of the newn covenant that is being poured out for many people for the forgiveness of sins. 29 I tell all of you I will never again drink the product of the vine until that day when I drink it with you once again in my Fathers kingdom.
The part you leave out is making your posts a great lie, to support the blasphemy of catholiciism teaching sincere adherents that they eat the real flesh and imbibe the real blood of The Risen Lord Jesus. But the lie is easily exposed because this Passover meal was BEFORE the Cross and Resurrection, so Jesus would not have been giving the flesh and blood of the Risen Lord. Does it not yet slap you up the side of the head that the entire blasphemy is based in a great lie that satan has duped catholics into swallowing?
Sad that catholic minds cannot see lies when two are put together by the magicsteerignthem to make a larger lie palatable.
I missed that part in the Gospels; where BREAD was nailed to a cross.
Only the Douay-rheims translates the passage in this manner. Another poor translation by catholicism causing poor theology.
