Why did you stop at 1 Cor 10:14?

14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, fly from the service of idols. 15 I speak as to wise men: judge ye yourselves what I say. 16 The chalice of benediction, which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? And the bread, which we break, is it not the partaking of the body of the Lord? --1 Corinthians 10:14-16

Oh, now I see why. LOL

Thank you for the Scriptures. They are life to them with ears to hear.

The "partaking of the body of the Lord" is indeed life. And we "partake" of His sacrifice every day, not in the blasphemy of the mass which sacrifices him daily, but in our remembrance of His one-time sacrifice on the cross for all the sins of His elect by the grace that God has given us.

Christianity is not cannibalism. Grace is not found in the material, but in the spiritual. Rome continues to shove the material world in our faces when Christ tells us the truth is spiritually-discerned.

Continue to read Paul. He explained the teaching earlier in the chapter...

"Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ." -- 1 Corinthians 2:12-16
