[Dr. Eckleburg]

Judas' falling away happened PRECISELY because Christ said "this is my body... If anything, Judas' story holds as an example of those who deny the Eucharist.

Wow. That is an astounding conclusion not supported by Scripture in the slightest.

Rome just makes things up.

"Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;

That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish" -- Isaiah 44:24-25

It looks like filthy lucre was the sole reason

matthew 26

14 Then one of the twelve, whose name was Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 15 and said, “What will you give me if I deliver him over to you?”

And they paid him thirty pieces of silver. 16 And from that moment he sought an opportunity to betray him.

“Judas’ falling away happened PRECISELY because Christ said “this is my body... If anything, Judas’ story holds as an example of those who deny the Eucharist.”

Astounding is right.. what about from Jesus himself?

John 17:12
“12 While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.”

Hmmm.... fulfilled scripture. Nothing there about the eucharist.

Stretched so thin it’s transparent.
