Your religion turned into a cult, rife with paganism. The earliest church fathers were not so disposed. But it is typical of a cult member tomake many fallacy moves, like the undistributed middle, etc.

Thats a bogus answer.
The Catholic Church didn't start until 1517 according you guys... so we weren't around... remember?

St. Ignatius- I think - stated around 107 AD ...

"STAY AWAY... from the heretics who say the Eucharist IS NOT the Body and Blood of Christ !!!

And so then this IDEA was in practice then, only 60-70 years after Christ's death.

Now where did this Doctrine of A REAL Presence come from...?
I would really like to know.
How could the Catholic Church have turned that into a cannibalistic, pagan- cult rite... hundreds and hundreds before Trent got the Church started?

Answer not accepted.

Why did St. Paul call the Lord's Supper - "The Blood of Christ" if it was paganesque to drink Blood?

Yes- I was turning your thinking back around on you –
I don’t think it is uncharitable- or – fallacious- it’s just that you’re not thinking critically.
If the earliest Church Fathers held the belief of The Body of Christ in the Eucharist- WHERE did this thinking come from?
I’m not making so much an evidential point here- as it is that I want to know how it came about- as best as we can know.
Forget what happens later- Constantine turning it into a cult or whatever…
I want to know how Ignatius and Justin Martyr came to hold these beliefs so early in Christian theology.
Can you help?
