How to argue the Holy Eucharist to a Sola Scriptura Protestant

[holdencaulfield]

I agree with you, holdencaulfield, pertaining to the conservativeness of the catholic church, but may be that’s due because dogmas are forever, isn’t it ?

Yes.

Hi, All
I just scanned these threds real quick, I hope this is not a repeat.The prophet Malachi tells us what is to come regarding sacrifice.

Holy Eucharist. Malachi 1:11:
“For from the rising of the sun even to the going down, My name is great among the Gentiles, and in every place there is sacrifice, and there is offered to My name a CLEAN OBLATION.”
Malachi has said there will be no more bloody sacrifices to GOD as was done in the Old Testament. The Catholic Church offers the sacrifice of the Mass, and a “clean oblation”, the Holy Eucharist, all over the world, and around the clock. I believe the prophecy has been fulfilled…

Amen, and is continually being fulfilled.

The ancient Jews had a special ritual meal called the Todah (Hebrew: thanks). The Todah sacrificed an animal, but it was greater than other animal sacrifices because it added the suffering of one’s own life.
Our Father in heaven was slowly preparing His covenant children for the move from animal sacrifices to the Final Sacrifice.
(Ps 40:6,8) “Burnt offering and sin offering Thou hast not required. … I delight to do Thy will, O my God; Thy law is within my heart.”
Again, David wrote, (Ps 51:17) “The sacrifice acceptable to God is a broken spirit.” And again, (Ps 69:30) “I will praise the name of God with a song; I will magnify Him with thanksgiving. This will please the Lord more than an ox or a bull with horns and hoofs.” Isaiah spoke the words of God, (Is 1:11) “I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams.” God called instead for a baptism: (Is 1:16) “Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your doings from My eyes; cease to do evil, learn to do good.”
The ancient rabbis believed that when the Messiah would come all sacrifices except the Todah would cease, but the Todah would continue for all eternity. In 70 AD the Temple fell to earth and all of the bloody animal sacrifices stopped.
Only the Todah remains, the eucharistia, the Final Sacrifice at which the last words spoken are Todah l’Adonai, “Thanks be to God.”
What are the last words spoken at Mass?

“Thanks be to God.”
