And as well, we reach back to those years immediately following the Crucifixion and we read... The Didache refers to the Eucharist as a thusia, the Greek term for sacrifice: “Assemble on the Lord’s day, and break bread and offer the Eucharist; but first make confession of your faults, so that your sacrifice may be a pure one.

Jesus is not an object for me to sacrifice to God for my sins.

NOBODY is making a sacrifice when they partake fo a ceremony of remembrance.

John 10:17-18 For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father.”

It seems that they all ran away.

Within the week they’ll all be on another thread spouting word-for-word the same talking points.

I have to wonder if they get paid or if they just love the feeling of cognitive dissonance THAT much.

One thing we do know is that they’re in for quite a surprise when face to face with the Lord. Hopefully some of them deep down really do depend on Christ alone for salvation, because otherwise eternity is going to be VERY unpleasant for them.
