And in those OT sacrifices, which had to be repeated over and over and over again, the blood was always poured out....never consumed.
Jesus is not brought down from Heaven to be placed upon the altar again and again and again as the eternal victim as espoused by John O'Brien, A Roman Catholic priest.
This would stand in contradiction of Hebrews:
23Therefore it was necessary for the copies of the things in the heavens to be cleansed with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
24For Christ did not enter a holy place made with hands, a mere copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;
25nor was it that He would offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the holy place year by year with blood that is not his own.
26Otherwise, He would have needed to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now once at the consummation of the ages He has been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.
27And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment,
28so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him.
Hebrews 10:23-28 NASB
Do you remember the two travelers to Damascus that welcomed Jesus to their home and finally recognized Jesus in the breaking of the bread?
You mean Emmaus?
You are reading something into the text that isn't there much as you want it to be.
Sorry that you don’t believe that Jesus Christ is present - Body, Blood and Divinity - at Mass in the consecration of the Bread and Wine. I do hope that the Holy Spirit will eventually enlighten you as was done for St Paul in his trip to Damascus.
Sorry you don't understand John 6 in relation to the rest of John and the NT.
You do realize Jesus is always with us through the Holy Spirit....right?
You mean Emmaus? Yes.
And it happened that, while he was with them at table, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them. 31With that their eyes were opened and they recognized him, but he vanished from their sight.
Again an understanding of the times is helpful. Early Christians referred to the Eucharist and Mass as the breaking of bread.
You are still ignoring the Truth as Jesus told us, and many followers did not believe and left.
The Catholic Church teaches that Christ’s one sacrifice on the cross is what takes away our sins. That’s why we say that the sacrifice of the Mass is the very same sacrifice as that of the cross. If the Mass were not the same as the cross, it could never take away sins.
The substance of the Eucharist is Jesus Christ, and a person must have that substance to be saved. So we receive Jesus and he comes to us physically and spiritually. We pray and thank God for His sacrifices for our sins.
Why wouldn’t you want to receive Jesus as often as you can?
