Another post full of truth from your typical Catholic bashing snob at a site which endeavors to rise above such things? I believe this site believes in the truth of God's Holy Word.

Scripture proves the Lords supper is the outward rite in which believers eat broken bread, not real flesh, and drink the fruit of the vine, not real blood, to COMMEMORATE the broken body and the shed blood of Jesus Christ until He comes again (READ, Matt. 26:26-30; Mark 14:17-25; Luke 22:14-20; 1 Cor. 11:20-30), there is not excuse for believing otherwise.



The "symbols," the "bread" and the "wine," will always remain just that, "literal bread and wine" regardless of who or what prayer is said over them.

No man can change these elements into Jesus Christs real flesh and blood or call Him down from His Heavenly throne every day, several times every day, in thousands of churches throughout the world, in any sense. To believe otherwise is pure paganism, idolatry, and superstition.

Transubstantiation was declared and decreed by Pope Innocent 111 in the year 1215 A.D. By this doctrin the priest pretends to perform a daily miracle by changing a wafer into the body of Christ, and then he pretends to eat Him alive in the presence of the people during Mass. The Gospel condems such absurdities. Holy Communion is simply a memorial of the sacrifice of Christ (Luke 22:19,, 20; John 6:35; 1 Cor:26). The adoration of the wafer (HOST) was invented by Pope Honorius in 1220 A.D. The Catholic Church also made it obligatory to have communion at leasts once per week, and even every day if possible. Some Catholic priests have communion four or five times per day, which means, every time they say mass.

Jesus Himself concurred that the wine, (Fruit of the vine), was purely symbolic of the blood He shed for mankind when He said, and its recorded in three places in the New Testament;

Matthew 26:29  But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.

Mark 14:25  Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.

Luke 22:18 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
