When a person isn’t given the Grace to see the full Truth, they usually don’t realize it. However, when a person is given the opportunity to see it through Grace and they fail to use rational thought and open their mind to the light, it is sad.
Worse, are those who see glimmers of the Truth and shut themselves off to the Fullness of Christ, out of obstinacy and pride.
Sure signs of this obstinacy and pride are 1) repeatedly telling the same faulty myths about Christ’s Church and 2)
attacking sinners within His Church as if this represents the Church.
Prayers out for all to see True Light.
Here’s some rational thought.
Either the bread and wine are literally turned into the actual flesh and blood of Jesus. Or they are not and they are a symbolic representation of the spiritual reality.
Now, throughout Scripture God forbids the eating of blood. The life is in the blood. It is for atonement. It was NEVER eaten as part of the sacrifice but rather poured out. That command to not eat blood was reiterated by the Council of Jerusalem in Acts 15.
So the situation is this......
Either the interpretation of John 6 is literal, which violates and contradicts the weight of Scripture which preceded it thousands or years before.
Or the interpretation is that the eating and drinking is symbolic, which does not contradict any commands of God given in Scripture.
Jesus came to fulfill the Law, not violate it.
He could not have partook of the cup Himself if it was blood, as it would have made Him unclean by sinning and He could not have commanded the disciples to do something which would break the Law, thus making them unclean and unable to celebrate the Passover.
Jesus blood was poured out. It’s gone.
Nor is there any record of the whole ceremony and incantation which the priests utter which is allegedly supposed to change the host and wine into the literal body and blood of Jesus.
The system of sacrifices is over with the death of Jesus. They never saved anyone anyway. All they did was foreshadow the sacrifice of Christ on the cross.
