Why would Catholics insist that Jesus sinned against the law by eating blood?
When losing the argument take the low road.
scripture please
Why do prots insist on calling Him a liar?
Not re sacrifice me a few times daily
No it isn't and no it doesn’t. The mass is a paganistic ritual and Catholics assign the sin of eating blood to Jesus and the apostles.
Do do that voodoo that you do so well.
KJV says “do this in memory of me”.
Which translation says “remember this”?
The Last Supper was a sacrifice ... “take this and eat it, for this is My Body”.
Greg Dues has written Catholic Customs & Traditions, a popular guide (New London: Twenty Third Publications, 2007). On page 166 he states, "Priesthood as we know it in the Catholic church was unheard of during the first generation of Christianity, because at that time priesthood was still associated with animal sacrifices in both the Jewish and pagan religions."
"A clearly defined local leadership in the form of elders, or presbyteroi, became still more important when the original apostles and disciples of Jesus died. The chief elder in each community was often called the episkopos (Greek, 'overseer'). In English this came to be translated as 'bishop' (Latin, episcopus). Ordinarily he presided over the community's Eucharistic assembly."
"When the Eucharist came to be regarded as a sacrifice, the role of the bishop took on a priestly dimension. By the third century bishops were considered priests. Presbyters or elders sometimes substituted for the bishop at the Eucharist. By the end of the third century people all over were using the title 'priest' (hierus in Greek and sacerdos in Latin) for whoever presided at the Eucharist."
>The reason is that most Catholics are not aware that the Church teaches that the Mass is an actual sacrifice.<
.
That’s a pretty bold statement to make.
How many Catholics were included in your survey?
Once they DO start thinking; things tend to happen!
Have you read what St. Paul said about the Body and Blood of Christ in the Lord's Supper?
So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves. That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep [i.e., died].You might want to turn a cynical eye toward Luther and his tradition of sola scriptura, which isn't biblical, rather than the words of St. Paul.
Does it taste like bread and wine to you or flesh and blood? This was the “issue” Martin Luther had.
And, that remains a teaching of the Catholic Church to this very day.
I asked and got an answer and once again you are misunderstanding what they do. They are participating in a Seder meal. They are commemorating, as in remembering the freedom given them. Even if subsequently conquered and oppressed and hunted, the Jew never ceases to see himself inherently as a free man thus they participate in the freedom they believe they have. It is NOT as if they are participating in the original exodus. They only relive the implanted awareness of freedom. They said "As the Baal Shem Tov brilliantly put it – you are where your will is, this means you are essentially free. If you crave freedom, you are indeed free."
So once again the Catholics twist the words to mean something different.
Seems to me the RCC enjoys crucifying Christ over and over and over again (daily).
There’s an empty cross for a reason past his Passover sacrifice for us.
Just telling it like it is.
We don’t call Him a liar. We understand that He was speaking spiritually just as He said He was.
Here are the words directly from and in the order they are in the Greek.
"this do in the of me remembrance".
Like I said, twist those to your hearts desire.
