Even if you don’t belive in the Eucharist, please respect those who do and spell it correctly- with a capital E.

please do read it 🙂 you’ll see why I’m saying this. It’s pretty much evidence that the Eucharist is true.

I used to not believe in it either… but now when I receive the Eucharist, I see that I am really receiving Jesus… it is Him, physically present.

This is what Christians have always believed for 2000 years. Even the Reformers believed it. It’s a new concept that Communion is a symbol…and it was invented by Zwingli.

Did you know that early Christians were called “cannibals” because of their belief in the Eucharist? and that early Church martyrs died for it?

God bless

She did in the thread title, and I think for the majority of all her posts.

But, you must realize she is being bombarded by multiple things at once, and everyone is expecting her to agree with them today! Right now!😦

Can’t everyone let the Holy Spirit have some room between Zundrah and Jesus now?
 
Zundra,
I have a couple of questions for you to ponder:
  1. Why is Jesus referred to as “The Lamb of God”?
  2. Before the ultimate, final sacrifice of Jesus on the cross for our sins, how did the Jewish people seek forgiveness for their sins?
Both of these questions are critical to understanding Christianity, Catholicism, and the Eucharist…

Aw, thank you, you are such an angel. I did spell it Eucharist but now I have even less faith in it I will just say eucharist… LOL- by the way I am responding to so many post right now, it is mind boggeling, my replies are getting shorter becuase there are so many posters! 😊

Yes, they did. They bit Him, chewed Him, swallowed Him, and drank Him. Are you even bothering with my recomended videos?

…they never ate him or consumed him, he was mearly saying; accept my death as your food of life, for it will be your bread from heaven, one that will never run out.

The way I look at it, Jesus was a faithful Jew. So, he would have been using unleveaned bread. However, the eastern rites use leavened bread I think. I also believe some even use this method called intiction ? Where the priest dips the bread into the wine and then drops it gently from a spoon into the mouth of the person partaking. I think this is to re-inforce his risen nature?

Can someone help out here that knows about the eastern rite?

I am sure I don’t have a good grasp of it yet. So, I don’t want to confuse you about something so serious.

Zundra, you will get the answers you are looking for, because you believe.

Intinction apparently is one of the ways approved by Western Catholicism to receive communion.

Yes that is right, but her/his belief is not the same as my belief. So which is true, or is this realtive?

Which is true? Well let’s start here; protestants split from the catholic church because they didn’t trust it any more…
 
Zundrah,

I assure you that playing the “what is the least amount I have to do to avoid hell” game will not lead you closer to Christ, but closer to hell.

The question is not is the Eucharist absolutely necessary for salvation, but is it true?

Good times!
  1. Why is Jesus referred to as “The Lamb of God”?
Click to expand...
Because he was sacrificed for the sins of the whole world rather than just for one person or just for one sin.
  1. Before the ultimate, final sacrifice of Jesus on the cross for our sins, how did the Jewish people seek forgiveness for their sins?

By killing a lamb or goat ect…

No, it is just critical to believe in catholic eucharist which once again has come about by twisting scripture such as “the body and blood of Christ”; just to keep high numbers in the catholic church because they believe that it is sin to miss the eucharist.

:rolleyes:

The eastern rites of the catholic church are just as catholic as you are in the latin rite.
The bishop of Rome approves many things, but in this instance he can not even stop this practice if he wanted to.
Nor was there ever a need for the east to have “approval” from the bishop of Rome to preform the Mass in this manner. Unless, I am mistaken and you can provide some help to me on this.

It was never even “on the table” as far as I know.

The Real Presence in the Eucharist is a real key to deciding which branch of Christianity is right, and which is wrong. If the Real Presence is a false belief, then you must immediately rule out the Catholic and Orthodox Churches, and possibly the Anglican, Episcopalian, and Lutheran denominations as well. If however, we can prove to you that belief in the Eucharist is correct, then the only Protestant denominations that even have a hope of being true are the ones I just mentioned, the Anglicans, Episcopalians, and Lutherans.

And you figured this out how? He said take, eat this IS my body, this IS my blood. Is= to be. 0 symbolism/metaphors, what have you. And the diciples DID take and DID eat Christ’s BODY and BLOOD.

Now I HIGHLY recommend you watch at least the first link I posted. It covers exactly what we are talking about now.

Oh right, so I am hell-bound now am I? Just because I will not believe catholic superstition, I am now going to hell? So this is what you think of all protestants then? You are very gloomy…

Is it true? No. Necessary even? No.
