obviously, you ARE NOT A CHRISTIAN!
If what you are saying is true that means Jesus died for nothing. You have to be crazy. Even a protestant would tell you that, trust me I live with them!
 
I just missed being post 1000!!! But I am the 1000th reply!!

Praise our Lord and Savior in the Holy Sacrifice of the Altar. He is truly Present in the Holy Eucharist!!! This has been for 2000 years and will continue until He comes again!!!

There are many Eucharistic miracles that attest to this and the first one occured at the Last Supper. Jesus Christ veiled under bread and wine as He was veiled in human flesh. How magnificent is our God!!!

Congratulations! You win your choice of a commemorative t-shirt, coffee mug, or handy tote bag! 😛
 
If in doubt just believe and obey Jesus!

If Jesus says “This is my body” believe Him.

If Jesus says “If you do not eat of my body and drink of my blood you have no life in you” believe him.

What is so hard to understand about the simple words of truth spoken to us by the Son of God?

Yes! The important thing is we just follow what he says as far as practicable. Anyway, if we happen to misunderstand him, surely he will correct us, and an honest error in understanding Him would not be counted against us. But if instead of obeying what he says we rationalize to avoid them, then that would be dangerous, for then in the end Jesus would hold us to account this way: *Did I not tell you that the bread was my body? Did I not tell you to eat my flesh?
*
When that time comes, what shall be our reply to him? Should we say: Oh Lord, I thought you were simply talking figuratively. I thought the flesh you mentioned refers to the words written in the bible. I ate the words in the bible Lord. But to eat the bread and recognize it as your body, oh Lord, I thought that would make me a cannibal."

LOL!! I would rather have Christians unite concerning the Eucharist but the coffee mug will seem to do until Christ comes to clear things up…teachccd 🙂

If this is true, then He is also saying that He is going to give his “figurative” flesh for the life of the world, not His actual flesh. That he only “symbolically” died on that cross, but not really.

And if Jesus died symbolically on the cross, we are then closer to a Muslim understanding of Christ than a Christian one.

I don’t want to derail the thread (yet again!), but I think this is perhaps somewhat relevant to the discussion at hand. A Muslim commentator on this site has the following to say about the crucifixion:
According to the Bible, death by crucifixion is an accursed one; so one cannot imagine a respectable prophet of God being subjected to a death described by the Bible as accursed. All this simply points to the fact that Jesus, who was a prophet of God, was saved by God from the pain of torture and the shame of a death on the cross.

This line of reasoning WRT the crucifixion sounds eerily similar to some of the posts in this thread asking how the could Eucharist be the Body and Blood of Christ. “Wouldn’t that be cannibalism?” “How can we scientifically deduce this?” etc. “God would not do such a thing because it is beyond all logic.” And look at the Islamic commentary above: it is beyond the logic of the Bible for a prophet to be put to a death of shame.

No, I’m not equating Protestant thought with Islam (and I’m not even trying to bash Islam). I just find the similarity in reasoning a little bit uncanny.
