.The body of Christ
Disgusting . The smell must have been awful .The body of Christ
It was actually unleavened bread.Disgusting . The smell must have been awful .
The bread "represents" the flesh and wine "represents" the blood. Did anyone chew on Christ's body after His resurrection? Did anyone stand under the cross and catch His literal blood with a cup? No and no. We eat the bread and drink the wine in "remembrance" of His sacrifice. He said in John chapter 6 that the words He spoke were "spiritual" and that "the flesh profiteth nothing."What covenants did you make with the Lord when you were baptized?
How do you receive the ordinance of the Sacrament or Eucharist?
When the profound meaning of what Jesus said at the last supper is take more literally the explanation is clear. The manner in which most "Christian Churches" present it reduces the importance and turns it into an unacceptable condition. Read his instructions on how often this should be done.How is eating the body of Christ and drinking the blood of Christ not cannibalism?
Agreed. But Catholic teachings disagrees with us. They teach there is a transformation in our bodies after we swallow. Not sure about chewing the bread.The bread "represents" the flesh and wine "represents" the blood. Did anyone chew on Christ's body after His resurrection?

Everyone chews. The question is when does the bread transform into the flesh of Christ. While chewing or in the gut?.
All of the priests I have watched chew.
This was a big thing among kids when my husband was a young Catholic boy -- to chew or not to chew.

Trolling isn't allowed in Zone 1. If I check later and find you continuing to do that in this area, you WILL be given a formal warning and thread banned.The cannibalism.
Any waitress who reads this would be laughing and shaking her head. Anyone who carefully watches a full glass of water as they they walk along with it is going to get spills and splashes. Ironically, walking normally without looking at the glass of water won't have these spills. Try it.She said, "I didn't see anything because I was so focused on this glass, so the water wouldn't fall."
That is why I don't attend church regularly.Don't let your relationship with God be determined by how others relate with God.
No need to complicate something simple. Jesus took bread, blessed it and broke it, and said, "Take and eat, for this is my body which will be given up for you." No mention of chewing or what happens in the gut.Everyone chews. The question is when does the bread transform into the flesh of Christ. While chewing or in the gut?
How often do you join in a family meal?That is why I don't attend church regularly.

Every day.How often do you join in a family meal?
Why the problem with joining the larger family at worship?Every day.
I don't consider listening to wannabe rock bands and self-help promoters to be worship. Do you?Why the problem with joining the larger family at worship?
I don't go to places with rock bands (let alone 'wannabe rock bands') or self promoters. Don't you have a place of worship in your area where the focus is on scripture readings and the homily on the theme(s) of those readings?I don't consider listening to wannabe rock bands and self-help promoters to be worship. Do you?
