His Body and blood is food and drink. [post 161]
Obviously you are (once again) propagating prevarication based upon isolationist eisegesis, for NOWHERE in the only wholly God-inspired and faithful substantive record of how the NT church understood the gospels (Acts-Rev.) is the Lord's supper stated, described, or shown to be spiritual food.
In fact, nowhere therein do we see (unscriptural) Catholic priests conducting the Lord's supper, offering it as a sacrifice for sins and dispensing it as spiritual food, or conducting the Lords supper being a unique function for NT pastors.
Instead, the primary function (besides prayer) of NT episkopos/presbuteros is that of preaching/teaching the inspired word of God. By which word (Scriptures) man is to live by, (Mt. 4:4) as Christ lived by the Father, (Jn. 6:57) with doing His will being His “meat.” (Jn. 4:34) by the believing of which one receives spiritual lie, being regenerated, (Acts 10:43-47; 15:7-9; Eph. 1:13) and thus desiring the milk of the word, (1Pt. 2:2) and then handling the “strong meat” (Heb. 5:12-14) of the word of God, which word believers are “nourished” (1Tim. 4:6) and built up, and are to let it dwell in them richly. (Col. 3:16)
Nor in all the Bible is literally eating anything the means of obtaining spiritual life. And rather than being the centerpiece of the Christian life, the Lord's supper is not even clearly described expect in two chapters of one epistle. And in which it is not that of the sacerdotal priestly Catholic spiritual food feast, while their failure is that of effectually not recognizing other believers as being members of the "one bread," the body of Christ, the cgurch.
Your comment: “Nor in all the Bible is literally eating anything the means of obtaining spiritual life.”
Protestants reject the Truth of Jesus words and make up their own non-Biblical doctrines contrary to God’s Truth.
The Mass (which includes the Liturgy of the Word and Liturgy of the Eucharist) and the Sacraments are God’s gifts to us to help us in our journey of salvation. It is through God’s graces that we are saved, but we need to accept them.
All properly baptized persons are part of the Body of Christ even if they are in mortal sin (but it destroys the loving relationship with God) yet requires repentance, confession and penance before death. Rejection of God’s Truth and His Church is a rejection of Christ.
I will believe the Lord’s word over your uninspired comment or perhaps inspired by Satan.
I think Mary told John; after he took her into his home; that Jesus mentioned this from the cross to her.
