You never really believed did you? That’s why it is so easy for you to give up Catholicism for OSAS.

It sounds as though the Eucharist was never real to you.

I could never give up the Eucharist and I am a convert.

So you believe you eat in the wafer the Divinity of Jesus, continuing the sacrifice at every Mass?

I believed everything Catholicism taught me when I was under it.

Then I started reading Scripture for myself and saw the contradictions between it and what the church taught.

I threw my lot in with God.

If I honestly really believed that eating Jesus would give me eternal life and that what Catholicism claims happens to the elements, the wheat and the wine, really did happen, then I would have stuck with it.

But Scripture teaches that it’s by faith we are declared righteous and have eternal life and that eating of blood is absolutely, unequivocally, strictly forbidden by God so what Catholicism claims happens in transubstantiation is wrong because it violates a very basic, clear directive of God that is reiterated throughout Scripture.
