There is no “it’s just Jesus and me” Christianity.

Hmm. Must be news to Andrew, who followed Jesus and not Peter--although Peter was with him at the time.

Likewise if you do not eat of his flesh and drink his blood then you’ll have no life within you. No Eucharist, no salvation, no matter what Martin Luther said.

What about the book of Acts?

Acts 16:30-31:
And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

No mention of the Eucharist in that passage, and yet the Jailer was saved.

Having faith is the start which leads to Baptism, the Mass and the Sacraments as established by Jesus. See Acts 16:15

Jesus told us in John 6:53 et al that one that does not eat and drink His Body and Blood that He established at Last Supper, then they have no life (eternal life). When Jesus blessed, broke the bread and gave to them, His disciples on the road to Emmaus after the Resurrection recognized Him in the Eucharist. In the early Christian community, “breaking of the bread” was used as a description of a eucharistic liturgy. Acts2:42

Many use one sentence or quote from the Bible to justify a position, but often ignore other teachings from Jesus that don’t agree with their point of view.

Jesus established one church (now known as the Catholic Church), the Mass and the 7 Sacraments to help us in the process to find the narrow gate for our salvation.

One should have faith in all the words of Jesus that Jesus taught us for our salvation (eternal life with God).
