"Chrrist was celibate.....Take and eat of this...THIS IS MY BODY...take and drink of this THIS IS A CHALICE OF MY BLOOD WHICH WILL BE SHED FOR THE REMISSION OF SIN....

I guess you think that Christ was just kidding"

The symbolism of what Jesus did the night before His crucifixion was nowhere near the false, demonic doctrine of transubstantiation, my FRiend. From His remarks, your cultish organization has manufactured the belief that a man in a bathrobe can say some words over a cup and, by his words, turn that wine into the blood of Jesus. Similarly, he can turn bread into the body of Jesus. Even Jesus did not do this...He was sitting right there with them. And, nowhere does it authorize a man to claim any difference.

Further, if Jesus was celibate, that does not in any way direct a man to be celibate. Jesus died for my sins, does that mean I should die for your sins? Please, terycarl, look at the whole story line. We are not told to be celibate. And, frankly, your bizarre group only promoted celibacy after about 400AD. The apostles, including Peter, did not practice this demonic doctrine.

Celibacy is entirely voluntary in the Catholic Church....priests take a vow of celibacy if they want to become priests. And your referral to symbolism at the Last Supper is amazing...Christ said the words....consecrated the bread and wine into His Body and Blood and instructed the apostles to "DO THIS" in memory of Me....pretty clear and I see no symbolism there at all.
