John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Not through any works of our own.
Even IF, and that's a big if, communion is the literal partaking of Christ's body and blood, and that by taking communion you are accepting Christ, all you need to do is do it once. Communion one time would be all that is needed. Not communion and receiving Him every day.
Hebrews 7:26-28 Such a high priest meets our need—one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens. Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself. For the law appoints as high priests men who are weak; but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever.
Hebrews 9:24-28 For Christ did not enter a man-made sanctuary that was only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God's presence. Nor did he enter heaven to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own.
Then Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. But now he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself. Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.
Besides, Christ died on the cross, He was never sacrificed on an altar so even if the Catholic church wanted to recreate the death of Christ over and over, they're doing it wrong.
Uh...you must have skipped over John 6: 53-59
Are you aware of the foreshadowings of Christ's sacrifice in the Old Testament? Where was Abraham instructed to sacrifice his son?
