“Jello time again I see.”

Nope. Think about what’s happening here: someone claimed I said something I never said. I was accused of saying the Eucharist was not a sacrifice. I never said that and anyone - ANYONE AT ALL - can see in Post #339 that all I did was correct his error about believing Catholics sacrifice Jesus over and over again. Remember, the following paragraph is the one he falsely claims I said the Eucharist is not a sacrifice:

“Whatâ€™s false is clearly your understanding if you think anyone could sacrifice Jesus over and over again. No one could and no one wants to either. So which is it that you are getting wrong there? Are you wrong about someone being able to sacrifice Jesus over and over again or are you wrong on believing Catholics sacrifice Jesus over and over again? It has to be one or the other OR BOTH according to your own words. The correct answer is - BOTH - since both are impossible.”

I never once in that paragraph denied the Eucharist is a sacrifice. I did deny that Jesus could be sacrificed over and over. He can’t. But His sacrifice can be re-presented and that’s exactly how the CCC 1366 says the Eucharist IS a sacrifice.

It is impossible to chip through the blindness of catholic assertions on the Eucharist. But here's a simple way to expose the heresy therein:

Jesus speaks of the Brass serpent lifted up prefigures His being lifted up on the Cross.[John 3:14 & 15 ] The brass serpent did not give eternal life it did not even prevent death from an asp bite. BUT the faith in, believing it delivered from death in the desert healed the believers. They didn't eat the Serpent, they just believed the promise of God.
Jesus speaks of manna in the desert as prefigure of Him as the Bread of Life. These are prefigurings, metaphorical connections, not literal means to being saved. The serpent of brass did not save anyone bitten by the asps. It was their faith in the propitiatory offering that saved them.
