[quote:PEER 21008556:MV8yMDc0MzQxXzM0OTMyMDM1XzVCMjg3NENB] [quote]Please answer the question posed in that thread: What time frame does the flesh you claim to eat at communion come from?[/quote] I am not certain that i am qualified to answer this question with any authority as I am not a trained theologian. I would posit that you ask this at www.forums.catholic.com in the Ask an Apologist section, as they would be much better able to respond. If I were pressed to answer this: at first I want to answer eternity, but I am not sure that such a simple explanation would suffice, for when He died at Golgotha for the sins of the world the effect rippled through space and time itself. Not to mention the higher realms of existence may not parallel our our experience which we perceive as space and time, which makes the question even more difficult to answer. May I ask you what is the significance of this question? Does the reason for which you do not believe in the True presence hinge upon the answer to a seemingly peripheral question whose answer may very well be a mystery beyond our capacity to understand? I would point you to Scott Hahns book "The Lambs Supper" http://www.amazon.com/Lambs-Supper-Mass-Heaven-Earth/dp/0385496591 [quote]Bestselling author Scott Hahn sheds new light on the Mass, offering readers a deeper appreciation of the most familiar of Catholic rituals . Of all things Catholic, there is nothing that is so familiar as the Mass. With its unchanging prayers, the Mass fits Catholics like their favorite clothes. Yet most Catholics sitting in the pews on Sundays fail to see the powerful supernatural drama that enfolds them. Pope John Paul II described the Mass as "Heaven on Earth," explaining that what "we celebrate on Earth is a mysterious participation in the heavenly liturgy." The Lamb’s Supper reveals a long-lost secret of the Church: The early Christians' key to understanding the mysteries of the Mass was the New Testament Book of Revelation. With its bizarre imagery, its mystic visions of heaven, and its end-of-time prophecies, Revelation mirrors the sacrifice and celebration of the Eucharist. Beautifully written, in clear direct language, bestselling Catholic author Scott Hahn's new book will help readers see the Mass with new eyes, pray the liturgy with a renewed heart, and enter into the Mass more fully, enthusiastically, intelligently, and powerfully than ever before.[/quote] [/quote]
