“Let’s look at what Jesus thought of physically ingesting his flesh and blood.”

~ ~ ~

Wondering? Can you reply on the “altar call”...who first started preaching it?

On the Eucharist, please try to understand, it’s not
cannibalism. Jesus said I am the bread of life and He
explains, understand in the “spirit” not in a human way.

The Eucharist is divine ~ God wants everyone to receive
Him. It’s supernatural. How can it be mere bread becomes
God, all of Him? It does because He said so.

The whole understanding of the RCC Eucharist has it’s origins in pagan beliefs. Does the following passage mean nothing to you?

1 Corinthians 10:3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat; 4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

Why do Catholics insist on making it physical like the pagans did?

This is how someone receives Him.

John 1:12-13 12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

Christ dwells in our hearts through faith, not in our stomachs or through our stomachs.

Ephesians 3:14-19 14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, 16 that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
