YOUR priests are insisting you believe you are drinking the literal blood of Christ at the Eucharist/Remembrance. YOUR religion,

Yeah, that old line "take and drink of this, this is a cup of my blood which will be shed for the forgiveness of sin"...He was probably just kidding..........

Your shallow understanding is caused by your lack of study in the Messiah. The Passover meal was where Jesus broke the bread (and no bones of Him were broken on the cross) and passed the cup of wine then said He would not drink it again until He comes into His Kingdom. If you have read this far, then you are in good shape, because I'm gonna recommend a book for your spiritual enjoyment. No really, it is a most enjoyable read, about the Feats of Israel and how they speak of Jesus and how they give prophecy of Him. The book is 'Unlocking The Secrets of The Feasts' by Michael Norten. The book is written/directed by Judaism scholars who are Christians. If you love Jesus Christ the book will regale your soul. You will read astonishingly beautiful prefigurings of Jesus. Here's a short paraphrase of just one morsel.

The Shepards who came to Bethlehem when Jesus was in the manger, after an Angel told them to seek him there, were actually more than common shepards. They were in a tower which gave them an excellent view of the baby lambs being born, so they could fetch the ones without spot or blemish, wrap a few strips of cloth around them so they were preserved for the sacrifice of Passover and Atonement. When the Angel told them they would find the child lying in a manger wrapped in swaddling cloth, the shepards knew this was a special child because they would place the special wrapped lambs 'up' in a manger to prevent them becoming blemished!

And one more thing, a repetition of things posted to you before: Jesus would not have given His blood to His disciples to drink, even before His Sacrifice and because it would be an abomination before God to break a command given TO ALL THEIR GENERATIONS to not drink the blood. For the Life is in the Blood and it is That Perfect life in Jesus’s blood which was specifically destined to spread on the Mercy Seat to cover the laws, the law of sin and death so you can have the Holy Spirit of God in you now. His Precious blood is not for your stomach, it is for your soul and spirit. That’s why He told them to do that ritual in REMEMBRANCE of what He was about to do for them and all who come to Christ Jesus.

Yeah, that old line "take and drink of this, this is a cup of my blood which will be shed for the forgiveness of sin"...He was probably just kidding..........

He wasn't kidding but He was speaking metaphorically. The wine and bread represented His blood and body. They were to drink and eat this together for it was ushering in a new covenant with His sacrifice on the cross. When He warned the Disciples about the "leaven of the Pharisees", He wasn't speaking of gluten but of their teachings. Really, you should read the Bible more then you would know this already.

Google® did NOT find your 'quoted' words.

Did you just make this up and think no one would check it?
