“The earliest Church Fathers believed in the Real Presence and taught that if you do not partake in the Eucharist, you can not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.” Reference in before 100 ad please.

good grief, during apolostic times there are numerous statements concerning the body and blood of Christ as the eucharist........but, just for aarguements sake, lets say that there were none......when the Catholic church taught, from the beginning, that the Eucharist was, indeed, the true Body and Blood of Jesus.....she had declared something on Earth which would also be declared in Heaven......see how infallibility works....Christ would have NEVER allowed that teaching to occour if it were not true....NEVER.

And this is just ONE of the statements:

Christ would have NEVER allowed that teaching to occour if it were not true....NEVER.

It appears that some tares got in with the wheat that was ground into the flour that made narses' cereal...

First, you fail to distinguish metaphor from physical.

Second, you cannot demonstrate “from the beginning”.

Third, your doctrine of infallibility is wrong and you provide no actual evidence to support your claims (as is your habit in your posts here).

Fourth, please do not blame Christ for the silliness of those who claim His name. He is infallible. People and popes are not.
