The Lord’s Supper, continued sacrifice, and becoming part of Christ’s body
Claim examined: Baptism and conversion
Scriptural Answer
"why did He call the bread and wine His own Flesh and Blood if the bread and wine were symbolic of everlasting life, why bother with bread and wine at all if it does nothing and you don't need it, but yet He said that this was the moment He had longed for, the moment when He would leave His Body, Blood and Spirit on earth for all time, a continuation of His Sacrifice on Calvary, not a reinaction." Not once does the Bible state that the Lord's Supper is a "continuation of His Sacrifice on Calvary"... This is merely an invention of men, not what God said in His word... "The Food He would leave in the World would be His Living Flesh. In the same way that He is in the Father and the Father is in Him, So to when we recieve His Body and Spirit we live in Him and He lives in us so that all may be one in the Father." Actually the food that He left is the "words" that He "spoke" for these words are the words that bring eternal life and have nothing to do with any sort of physical eating of bread and fruit of the vine... (See John 6:63 and Peter's response in John 6:67). "This is the mystery of the Catholic Church, the unity with God which was lost by one man ,Adam, is now restored by the new Adam , Christ." This may be a "mystery of the Catholic Church" however, I can assure you that this practice of the bread and the fruit of the vine physically becoming Jesus literal body and blood is nothing more than a distortion of the truth... "When we eat His Flesh we Really, Physically and Spiritually become a part of His living Body, His Body which was resurrected from the dead and has everlasting life." Actually, we become a part of the body (which is the church) when we are baptized in water for the remission of our sins, we are baptized into Jesus death... (See Romans 6:3 and Ephesians 5:29-30). "This is what He means when He said whoever eats My Flesh will have everlasting life, He achived everlasting life not just spiritually but physically also." See John 6:63 which states, "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life."
