[Salvation]

Jesus said at the Last Supper “Do this in memory of me.”

That is why the Mass is always a re-presentation of the Last Supper.

Also — your anti-Catholic bias is showing — The consecrated piece of bread is called a host.

There is no magic in transubstantiation. God can do all things.

Oh yes, I definitely have an anti-catholic bias. But I am not dishonest. The magic of the catholic rituals smacks of paganism through and through. It has the fabric of righteousness but denies the power thereof because the blasphemies cancel any sacred making these rituals in the catholic religion sacrileges.

The priest does not have authority or power to bring Christ down from Heaven to the catholic altar. The catholic priest has not been given the authority to continue the victimization of Christ, because Jesus was never a victim. He laid down His Life willingly. He is not continually sacrificed by the catholic priest because ONLY HE CAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR YOU. The priest does not have power to do that sacrifice so the Mass is a specious rite of empowerment for the catholic church, not for the sadly deluded adherents to tha religion.

[MHGinTN]

GOD can do, but a catholic priest cannot. A catholic priest cannot bring the body, blood, soul and divinity down into a wafer for sacrifice on a catholic altar. And when a catholic eats this wafer believing as they are told, to believe this is the literal body, blood, soul and divinity of The Christ, they are repeating the catholic version of a pagan riter that has nothing to do with the remembrance of the Sacrifice. Jesus did not give His flesh and His blood to His disciple at the Passover meal the night before His crucifixion. He came to fulfill the LAw nto dissolve it or erase it. He had not shed His blood to seal the new covenant on the night of Passove, so He was still fulfilling the law, and celebrating the REMEMBRANCE of God delivering the Israelites from Egypt and taking Egypt out of the Israelites. The fourth cup Jesus poured out rather than drink from the wine cup, to SYMBOLIZE His blood to be shed for us on Calvary. [Luke 22:20 And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood.]

The Blood of Jesus is so precious upon the Mercy Seat that it covers the law of sin and death for ANY who believe He is the Christ, their Savior and Lord. It is not the magic transubstantiation of a catholic pagan religious rite of eating the god of the religion.

The consecrated piece of bread is called a host.

Why?

To me; a 'host' is something a parasite saps the life force from.

That is why the Mass is always a re-presentation of the Last Supper.

And the Last Supper was a YEARLY meal of remembering the Jews escape from Egypt.
