The Holy Eucharist
When God told Moses that the people of Israel must eat of the Lamb after sacrificing it, He meant it. If they didn't eat the flesh of the lamb, they were dead come morning. So goes the New Testament, when the Lamb of God is offered, (not re-crucified), on the alters of the Holy Roman Catholic Church, one must eat of the Lamb to have everlasting life. Christ was born in Bethlehem (house of bread). He was laid in a manger, (a feeding trough), that was filled with hay, (something animals eat). He kept calling Himself the Bread of Life. Please, how obvious is it that He is the Host?
Matthew 4:4 Who answered and said: It is written, Not in bread alone doth man live, but in every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God. (Christ is the "word" of God made flesh. He tells people to eat his flesh. So, man can’t live by prot bread alone, Also, in the end of John, John admits all that Christ did is not contained within the Bible. So where are you going to find "every word of God"? Why the Roman Catholic Church of Course.)
Matthew 14:19 And when he had commanded the multitudes to sit down upon the grass, he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes. (This is representing Roman Catholic Communion. Each Host can be entirely the body of Christ as much as a particle is all Christ. Christ can perform these miracles, because he's God)
Matthew 26:26 And whilst they were at supper, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke: and gave to his disciples, and said: Take ye, and eat. This is my body. (???????)
Mark 14:22 And whilst they were eating, Jesus took bread; and blessing, broke, and gave to them, and said: Take ye. This is my body.
Mark 14:24 And he said to them: This is my blood of the new testament, which shall be shed for many. (Notice, this is one of the many that say "this IS my body". Not this represents, not this might be, not this is symbolic, none of that crap. Christ said what He meant.)
Luke 2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him up in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. (First off, Christ was born in Bethlehem "house of bread", Beth means house of, lehem means bread. Secondly, He was laid in a manger, what's a manger? A feeding trough, such is the Eucharist. )
Luke 9:17 And they did all eat, and were filled. And there were taken up of fragments that remained to them, twelve baskets. (Again, another miracle of communion. No miracle is too great for God to perform. Every Host is Christ completely)
Luke 22:19 And taking bread, he gave thanks, and brake; and gave to them, saying: This is my body, which is given for you. Do this for a commemoration of me. (How hard is it to understand the words "this is"?)
John 6:35 And Jesus said to them: I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger: and he that believeth in me shall never thirst. (This is the only verse that can substantiate prots line of thinking on Holy Communion. And it doesn't even do this. He uses these words also in comparison with the beatitudes….."He who hungers, He who thirsts". So the odds are twelve verses against your one verse. Makes sense to me.)
John 6:48 I am the bread of life.
John 6:49 Your fathers did eat manna in the desert, and are dead.
John 6:50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven; that if any man eat of it, he may not die.
John 6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven. (He says "I am" not I'm "here, there, around, or symbolically represented by……….". He is the bread. I.e. Communion)
John 6:54 Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you.
John 6:55 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day.
John 6:56 For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed.
John 6:57 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him.
John 6:58 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father; so he that eateth me, the same also shall live by me.
John 6:59 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead. He that eateth this bread, shall live for ever. (Does this even need explaining? Everyone reads this correctly when they are "men of goodwill". Only anti-Catholics cannot understand this.)
John 6:67 After this many of his disciples went back; and walked no more with him. (And these are men who have no good will. They cannot grasp what Christ says, and they have no faith. He didn't say "hey guys, I was just speaking metaphorically, come on back.")
