Breaking of BREAD

Jesus called it bread, fruit of the vine, and a remembrance.

I tell you that from now on I will not drink of THE FRUIT OF THE VINE.
Will Jesus be drinking His own blood in heaven with us???

Do this in REMEMBRANCE of me.
He did'nt say "Do this to re-present my literal body to create a new batch of "grace" that must be eaten to be recieved."

AMEN!

"a new batch of 'grace'"

This is the core of the RC delusion. Christ, as the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world, became the one-time, perfect sacrifice for all the sins of His flock. God has accepted His sacrifice and marked the receipt for the guilt of its recipients "paid in full."

The grace of this free, unearned gift has been received and has accomplished that which God intended - the cleansing and freeing of His sheep.

There is no "re-sacrifice;" no "re-presentation." Anyone with a renewed mind will recall Christ's offering on Calvary and remember it with gratitude and thanksgiving as they partake of the Lord's Supper.

The Passover was a remembrance.

They didn’t recreate it with the firstborn of every household dying when the angel of death came if they didn’t keep it.

It was a remembrance of the first Passover in Egypt and a foreshadowing of Christ and His FIRST coming.

Christ told them that now the Passover was now being fulfilled in Him and it’s to be a remembrance now of His death and a looking forward to His SECOND coming.

God instituted ceremonies and celebrations as symbols of spiritual truths. Not as the actual events themselves.

Jesus death is finished. He’s seated at God’s right hand, not continually but mediating as the great high priest. We don’t need human priests anymore because the final, once for all sacrifice has been made.

The Catholic church makes coming to God too hard.
