This article explores the scriptural basis of the Catholic claim that Jesus himself taught these things, as seen in the pages of Sacred Scripture. Further, this article examines the writings of early Christians to see what they believed and praticed.

Since this topic often surfaces on various threads, I thought you might be interested.

I'm curious...the commentator from your Catholic Bible says that the Eucharist is a sacrifice, Thus, the Eucharist is a sacrifice to God. Does that mean that the ONE sacrifice made by Jesus on the cross was not good enough and you have to make your sacrifice every week in order to be forgiven of your sins? And how does your 'sacrifice' pay a sin debt when you have to do it every week?

The Lord's Supper is a symbol of His broken body and His spilled blood. Jesus' body doesn't have to be broken and His blood spilled every week in order for my sins to be forgiven.

I don't mean any disrespect when I say this...but you folks have too much "stuff" to do in order to be accepted.

Jesus has already accepted me...just as I am. (Romans 5:8)

I'll stick to Scripture when Jesus said on the cross, "...it is finished...".(John 19:30a)
