I recognize that belief as one that I once held. Then I began to look at the early church and found St Ignatius in 110 A D speaking of the “medicine of immortality”. I had to find out for myself if that medicine is still available. It is.
I realize you once held certain fundamental beliefs...and like others before you the path is long which you follow...but they generally do come back. Though you are certainly free to not as well.
Yes, “the medicine of immortality” has a nice mysterious ring to it doesn’t it. Makes people feel really special I’m certain...for those that need that.
Well, for me Christ’s finished work is enough for me because it was enough for Him. And I will remember that and honor that work in communion.. I will never see this as some mysterious work man has determined is a part of His finished work... It is not required nor desired to take communion in the way the catholic church presents it.
