With respect, your reading of scripture is wrong -- as I gave you enough quotes from above, scripture amply indicates that Eucharist is necessary in Christ's plan of salvation -- why contradict Christ's very own words in John 6:53 Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. and John 6:56: Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them.
And, do read scripture that shows how Our Lord tied the forgiveness of sins to faith and Baptism: "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation. He who believes and is baptized will be saved."
Why contradict Christ's own words?
He has given it in His own words?
Christ has indeed made the Gospel plain - as have others throughout Scripture. Why, then, do Catholics insist that it is Christ + works which save? It is NOT, as Scripture elucidates time after time. I do wonder, then, why change Christ’s words? Why indeed?!
