Glad I found your shorts...

I already tired of everyone mocking catholic tradition without any explanation or feedback from catholic side

[moonknight]

May God bless you! As an Eastern Orthodox Christian myself I can say that our denominations have very similar beliefs on many topics

[Thedisciplemike]

I appreciate your comment, but its important we are precise in our language. The bread and wine are *not* transFORMED into the body and blood of Christ, but rather transSUBSTANTIATED. The most fundemental reality has been changed, not simply the form of the matter. Transubstantiation is not transformation. If it were, at the moment of consecration the matter of the host would be reconfigured to the form of Christ. The change goes far deeper than that.

RCC.We love you...turn away from this cult and follow Jesus by Grace and faith...

[XSarunoX]

I believe some protastants believe that too. I'm a protastant and my family believes it.

Young man, you got so much gold inside. Hold your FATHER, almighty GOD placed there.

I want to hear you speak as passionately about GOD your FATHER as you do about the church.
JESUS died for you, not the church.
Brag about HIM

[CptDawner]

The Eucharist doesn’t need to become the physical body and blood of Christ in order to still work and be holy. Jesus spoke in parable and used symbolism his entire life. He was giving the disciples a tradition to pass down, as to remember him and his sacrifice. The idea that it has to be a miracle every time you do it isn’t representative of what Jesus said at all. “This is my body” probably doesn’t mean he’s asking them to pretend to cannibalize him, we would agree on that yes? Then why is it Catholics are so insistent that it HAS to be transubstantiation in order for the miracle to be true. The miracle is in christs sacrifice, and our remembrance of it.

Context strongly indicates it's a metaphor:

1. Jesus said if you destroy this temple, he would raise it again in 3 days. The Pharisees thought he was literally talking about the temple. The narrator had to clarify he meant the resurrection. (John 2)

2. Jesus said you must be born again. Nicodemus thought he was literally talking about a womb. Jesus clarified he meant spiritually. (John 3)

3. Jesus said if you drink his water, you will never thirst again. The woman at the well thought she literally wouldn't have to visit the well again. (John 4)

4. Jesus said to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees. The disciples thought he was literally talking about bread. Jesus corrected them. (Matt 16)

5. Jesus literally told the disciples he's been saying a bunch of things figuratively (John 16:15).

6. Finally, Jesus said you must eat his body and drink his blood. People took him literally and stopped following him to avoid cannibalism. (John 6)

The gospel writers are clearly establishing a pattern here: Jesus says something spiritual, and then humans take him literally and misunderstand his spiritual message.

The irony is that the Catholic church misunderstood (6) just like everyone else, and shoe-horned an Aristotlean concept of invisible "essences" onto passage to make the interpretation work. It's an ad hoc reconciliation that we would never apply to other passages where, for example, Jesus says he is the door (John 10), or that the disciples are branches (John 15).

The fact that the magisterium so clearly misinterpreted this passage is a strong indication that it is not infallible.

Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.

[vinny.deadmoud]

We really should try to pray for these people who mock Jesus..Lest they find Jesus and repent, boy are they in for something they want no part of

[lordedard]

I dont understand if it was litteral and not figerutive why would it still taste like bread and wouldn't it look diffrent

[Florin_Dragoș_Minculescu]

If someone takes a piece of bread and soaks it in red wine, the resemblance to the texture of meat becomes obvious.
Because we live in Creation but we are from the Father, trough the Sun, and in the Holly Spirit, and because the term Bereshit (Beginning/Genesis) means in headedness, and if you have been blessed by God to be able to distinguish between yourself and and your thoughts and you have understood that all your thoughts are you, but a temporary, incomplete and distinct version of yourself, you can use this understanding to see “in the mirror” the fact that we are God’s self-thoughts, thoughts endowed with free will and when we submit to God’s will, we therefore mirror Him, and thus we become again in the “image and likeness”, just as every thought of ours imagines us and resembles us, and if we do not manage to integrate into this understanding the corporeality of our body as the corporeality of the body of Christ, just as a thought of ours is foreign to us, but IS us…

In most Eucharist miracles when blood is tissue is tested it tends to be heart tissue

[vantheman]

I'm a Protestant or at least that's what people call me. I actually created this quote. That kind of explains it
Christ gave us his body and blood in the supper.
Christ gave us his body and blood in the crucifixion.
Christ gave us his body and blood for our salvation.

[jmiogo]

Transsubstantiation does not mean literal.

[forehead]

Technically we wouldn’t describe the transubstantiated Eucharist as the “literal” body and blood. It is the true substance of His body and blood but doesn’t have the accidents of flesh and blood. If it was literal, then the Eucharist would take on the appearance of flesh and blood. Great video however and your sentiment is correct. The Eucharist is still truly the real presence without the “accidents” of flesh and blood.

[dubiejohn]

Anyone ever look up pagen traditions that are like what the Catholic church traditions. Its an interesting read. GOD bless

[chandrasingh]

Yeah. We as CSI Christians do the same in India just a little bit different.

[joshuapena]

Jesus also said "I am the door."

[Srhyle]

This is the part I'm also confused about. They/you said it's "literally" the body of Jesus our Lord and Savior. But we see it as bread and wine as is. So I'm not sure it's literal. Maybe spiritual?
