Quoting: Anonymous Coward 30425386 Catholics are the only ones who transfigure the wine, cause the red grape wine to actually BECOME real blood. And they believe it, why is this important, from your heart. Not what they told you, from you heart, why drink real blood. |

Mix (OP) User ID: 1430445 United States 12/28/2012 01:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The question isn't so much why do Catholics or other Christians do this...because the answer to that is obvious: Jesus told them to in the Bible. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 18535219 The real question is why did Jesus do it? Look into "Melchizedek" for a possible answer. Thanks, as it happens, have already done this. I keep a thesaurus next to my "every version of the Bible" shelf. Today's question does not have to do with finding correct. Am asking what YOU think. |

Ozicell User ID: 29840537 Australia 12/28/2012 01:40 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why do YOU think Catholics drink the real flesh and blood of Jesus even though this is NOT how life from Son of Man is transferred. Plenty of bible quotes to oppose the notion of requirement of drinking real blood for the life sustenance. Please no more Bible quotes I've read them all. Just please what do YOU think. As far as I am aware they don't, it's all in their imagination! That which is - has already been, And what is to be - has already been. Quote: King Solomon. |

Well, I am cautious to believe in my own ideas, and I acknowledge it as a mystery (and as something harmless and not at all like vampirism)...but I always interpreted it to mean that God is omnipresent, and Jesus had attained union with God, so saying "this is my flesh, this is my blood" is like saying "I am in all things"...his body is seen as being made up of the the same stuff as the dirt, the walls of your house, a cracker, a glass of grape juice. It's all creation. And his spirit is in all things, as creator. But I really don't know. |

Mix (OP) User ID: 1430445 United States 12/28/2012 02:05 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Cannibalism is eating of the dead flesh of a human person. Christ is not dead, His flesh is not dead, and He is not a human person (He is a Divine Person). Further, when a cannibal eats human flesh that flesh is gone forever. Over the centuries Catholics and Orthodox have eaten millions and millions of pounds of the Eucharist, and yet Christ surely didn't weigh more than 150 pounds or so. How is this possible if the Eucharist is cannibalism? The very charge of cannibalism, the eating of the dead flesh of a human person, denies the Incarnation, the Divinity of Christ and the Resurrection. Since we Catholics don't deny any of these things, we understand that the charge of cannibalism is nonsense. As an aside, I got this out of a "Catholic Answers Forum", the transubstantiation which takes place during a Mass, IS said to transform the wine to the actual blood of Jesus, but since He is not dead then it is not cannibalism. Eating an alive person is OK. Somehow this does not make me feel any better. However another answer goes on to state there is a little Jesus in everything so it's all the same. So then I ask why make the "sacrament" of the Mass the focal point. The idea that actual blood of Jesus is in drank during communion is key. Why that. |

" Draw nigh and take the Body of the Lord, And drink the holy Blood for you outpoured. * Offered was He for greatest and for least Himself the Victim, and Himself the Priest. " . |
