Read what Justin and all the Early Church Father’s taught and you will come into a deeper understanding of Christ’s sacrifice and how we are to worship.

I can read the Bible and come into a deeper understanding of Christ’s sacrifice and how we are to worship. I don't need to read commentary on it.

Didn’t you ever wonder why there were altars in the Roman catacombs and Christians were accused of cannabilism by the pagans?

No. Obviously paganism crept into the Church early on. Sacrificing people on altars and drinking their blood is associated with Satanism.

The drinking and eating of blood was forbidden by the Council of Jerusalem in the book of Acts, by James, Peter, Paul, etc. God strictly forbade it from the time that He gave man meat to eat.

If you want to eat flesh and drink blood in defiance of God's explicit commands, you are obviously free to do so, but to call it worship of him is heresy and blasphemy and spitting in His face. You're not worshiping the God of the Bible.

“This is My Body” “This is My Blood” Please read John 6, please read St Ignatious who was taught by St John. Why stay with your Gnostic beliefs when you can believe Jesus and His Body, The Church?

oh, does that mean that the PCA believes in "the Great Apostasy" just like the Mormons?

That's a very good point One -- the early first Century Christians were accused of cannabilism by pagans..., just like modern day Christians (Catholics, Lutherans, orthodox Anglicans, Orthodox,etc) are accused today by the same.
