The excerpt I cites references multiple scripture verses.
Much of the division amongst Christian is due to how we understand scripture. Like many Christians today, I simply do not believe the Roman Catholic interpretation of scripture as it pertains to sacraments, priests, relics and many other things. Again, I understand that Roman Catholic theologians will look at the "Bread of Life" references in John 6 and say, "see, Jesus is talking about the Eucharist". Christians like myself do not agree with that interpretation.
"Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this (eating his flesh and blood), Jesus said to them, “Does this (eating his flesh and blood) offend you? Then what if you see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before! THE SPIRIT GIVES LIFE, THE FLESH COUNTS FOR NOTHING. THE WORDS THAT I HAVE SPOKE TO YOU - THEY ARE FULL OF THE SPIRIT AND LIFE. The Roman Catholic church would disagree but a number of early Church Fathers who did not believe in the "real presence" as it's taught by the Roman Catholic church today. re: https://onefold.wordpress.com/early-church-evidence-refutes-real-presence/
If you agree with Roman Catholic theology regarding the Eucharist then you believe you are eating the physical body and blood of Jesus, which makes you at the least, a spiritual cannibal.
I am a Christian saved by grace and filled with the Holy Spirit. My faith is not in an organization or the Commandments or satisfying a punch list of Sacraments. I see no grace or salvation in THINGS, or ORDINANCES or RITUALS!
It is on Christ the solid ROCK I stand (not Peter); all other ground is sinking sand.
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God — not by works, so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2:8-9
My desire is to know Christ and be conformed to His image. My desire is not to be conformed to the Roman Catholic church.
Nevertheless, it is a rule on all forums that a live source be given to that the moderators can check for accuracy.
Funny, the pagans accused the early Christians of being exactly that: cannibals. Did you get it from them?
Cannibals kill someone in order to eat him. The Eucharist is precisely the reverse of cannibalism, because the Jesus we eat is alive, more alive than we are.
