"... THAT is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit if you believe you receive His Spiritual empowerment by doing some eating ritual repetedly. That magic thinking is on par with working to never step on a crack int he sidewalk so you will not have an accident. The Eucharist as practiced by catholiciism and a few Protestant derivatives is blaspheming the Spiritual nature of God. We are told that God is Spirit and MUST BE WORSHIPED IN spirit and truth (a remembrance!), not eating bread and wine believing these items are magically transmogrified into real flesh and blood and none physical soul and Spirit of GOD! THIS is the carnal heart of catholiciism, and too close to blasphemy against The Holy Spirit!

Please explain...
If the writings of the Church fathers are of no avail to you...
Can you please explain what Paul is talking about in 1st Corinthians... immediately after recalling what Christ had revealed to him, he warns the Corinthians of their impending condemnation- of their own making- FOR NOT WORTHILY consuming the Eucharist?

Is Paul blaspheming here then or not ?

Can you explain?
