“Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word” (Psalm 119:9 KJV).

If our physical posterity could augment its spiritual dexterity, exactly what would that entail?

“The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread” (1 Corinthians 10:16,17). Here is the scriptural Lord’s Supper. Believers in the Lord Jesus Christ commune at an evening meal—not a morning snack!—while they discuss sound Bible doctrine and enjoy their shared life in Him (His crosswork binding them to each other and God). Whether the Little Flock (Israel’s believing remnant, the Messianic Church) or us the Church the Body of Christ, this is known as “breaking of bread” (Acts 2:42,46; Acts 20:7,11; cf. Luke 24:30,31,35). The subject matter of our discussions at the Lord’s Supper is not to be worldly, idle chit-chat (weather, sports, politics, and so on). It should be Bible topics, dispensationally-correct passages.

Alas, the Corinthian Christians had transformed the Lord’s Supper into a time of carnality, mockery, discord, and ignorance—which is essentially the case in almost every local church now. (This is offensive, but true!) Never fully separating from their pagan culture out of which God had called them, Corinth was preoccupied with heathen/idolatrous “holy meals” (see 1 Corinthians 8:10 and 1 Corinthians 10:19-22,27-33). Hence, Paul had to set forth much information in 1 Corinthians 11:17-34 to bring them back to the biblical standard. Failing to learn 1 Corinthians and secular history, Christendom has also looked to these very pagan banquets for their pattern. Wherefore, the counterfeit Lord’s Supper of ancient Corinth is still very much with us 2,000 years later: it is the Roman Catholic Mass, and, its offshoot, the Protestant “mini-Mass” never abandoned at the Reformation. Using round wafers to hold a “supper” in the morning originated from sun-god worship, not Scripture but syncretism. A literal bite and a literal sip cannot be rightfully regarded as a “supper” anyway. Eating the actual flesh of a god is taken from primitive heathenism, not Scripture but syncretism. If it is not based on the pure Word of God, we cannot expect to honor that God with it….

“Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word” (Psalm 119:9 KJV).

If our physical posterity could augment its spiritual dexterity, exactly what would that entail?

The Eucharist (wafer and wine/juice) is one of the two pillars supporting Roman Catholicism; the other is the Papacy (pope’s office). After the “elements” are “blessed,” the wafer is called “the Son of God.” Parishioners bow before it, thinking Jesus Christ Himself is now physically with them (a religious tradition, not Scripture at all). The Mass is regarded as a literal sacrifice that takes away sins—yea, the same crosswork of Christ presented to God again (“renewed”), though Christ has been offered here in a so-called “unbloody manner.” (Contradicting Hebrews 9:22, “…and without shedding of blood is no remission [forgiveness]”). Reminiscent of the unbelieving Levitical priests of New Testament times still offering worthless sacrifices that Calvary’s sacrifice had replaced (Hebrews 10:1-22), so men assume they can work today in the energy of their flesh to equate their inventions with Christ’s sinless sacrifice. Such is the Devil’s cheap counterfeit!

If the Roman Catholic Church is correct about transubstantiation, and if they really do follow the Bible literally as argued, then why are dioceses/churches/priests permitted to give only the bread to the people (“communion under one kind”)? (The priest drinks all the wine himself.) According to Scripture, they all need to “eat and drink,” as eating alone in no way constitutes eating and drinking. Christ’s disciples both ate and drank (Matthew 26:26-29; Mark 14:22-25; Luke 22:17-20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-25). Romanism even violates its own proof-text of John 6:53-56, which demands eating and drinking!

Transubstantiation is especially dangerous because hundreds of millions of superstitious people, including innumerable generations of my French-Canadian and Irish ancestors (!), entrust their eternal souls to the perversion! Indeed, as strange as it sounds, Roman Catholics believe they must confess sins and “eat Jesus” at Mass to earn Heaven. Like countless other works-religionists, they will wind up in Hell and the Lake of Fire (quoting Scripture here and there [Matthew chapter 26! Mark chapter 14! Luke chapter 22! John chapter 6! First Corinthians chapter 11!]. In God’s sight, human righteousness is but filthy rags (Isaiah 64:6) and dung (Philippians 3:8). Those who see no difference, or dismiss this as “trivial,” advertise how misinformed, uninformed, foolish, and naïve they really are….

“Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word” (Psalm 119:9 KJV).

If our physical posterity could augment its spiritual dexterity, exactly what would that entail?

Remember, the “queen of heaven” (heathen mother goddess) was worshipped with cakes and drink offerings (Jeremiah 44:15-25); the Eucharist follows that pattern, for Roman Catholics call Mary just that! In Romanism, it is thought wafers become Christ’s actual body and juice/wine changes into His literal blood (transubstantiation). Amazingly, the ancient Egyptians believed consecrated cakes became the flesh of the god Osiris. Old Roman religion entertained similar views. Bluntly, supposing Jesus’ body and blood are physically present as bread and wine/juice is not derived from Scripture, but from satanic religions that existed long before He ever instituted the Lord’s Supper!

In the upper room, Christ did not break bread into little round wafers. They were jagged, irregularly-shaped pieces, of course. From whence came the idea to use disks? Millennia ago, heathens utilized them in sun-god worship. Interestingly, at Mass, Roman Catholic priests display the “consecrated Host” (“bread transformed into Christ”) for worship in a monstrance, a frame that resembles a sunburst. Why is the Lord’s “Supper” held in the morning at Protestant and Roman Catholic churches instead of evening or nighttime when the Lord Jesus and His disciples ate it? In ancient heathen religions, holy meals were consumed to worship the rising sun! Fasting was required. Obviously, it is easiest to fast overnight and have the “Supper” in the morning.

Doubtless, such is syncretism—exceedingly (!) clever (!) blends of Christianity and heathenism. Alas, almost no one researches or learns their history (as they should!), so they become easy fatalities of Satan’s evil world system. Those who developed a “Christian” institution based on heathenism simply “corrupted,” “handled… deceitfully,” and “wrested [twisted, distorted]” verses (2 Corinthians 2:17; 2 Corinthians 4:2; 2 Peter 3:15,16). “Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away” (2 Timothy 3:5). “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works” (2 Corinthians 11:13-15).

Astonishingly, friend, it grows even worse….

“Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word” (Psalm 119:9 KJV).

If our physical posterity could augment its spiritual dexterity, exactly what would that entail?

Endeavoring to amplify their allegation that “transubstantiation” occurs with the Roman Catholic Eucharist, works-religionists abscond to John 6:51-56: “I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.”

As usual, Roman Catholics are unfamiliar with the context (their denominational system ignores the prior 50 verses that obviously refute the tradition!). Read the whole chapter: Christ’s audience prefers to eat physical food than believe on Him (note especially verses 11-15). After witnessing Him miraculously feed the 5,000, they track Him for another free meal (verses 24-28) and remain in unbelief (verses 29,30,36). They grumble once He claims to be from Heaven (verses 41-43). Recognizing their fixation on physical matters rather than spiritual, He answers them in kind to (further) wisely expose their unbelief (verses 52-58). Highlighted are their escalating worldly-mindedness, their (!) “flesh,” their aggressive lack of faith in Him, and their eventual and permanent desertion of Him (verses 64-66).

John 6:35 defines “eating” and “drinking” in that context: “And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.” Such is totally unrelated to the physical supper of believers in Matthew 26:26-29, Mark 14:22-25, Luke 22:17-20, and 1 Corinthians 11:23-25; John 6:53-58 (spoken to unbelievers) never appears in any of these passages. The contexts are different, but that makes no difference to denominationalists who have set their minds on teaching whatever they wish….

“Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word” (Psalm 119:9 KJV).

If our physical posterity could augment its spiritual dexterity, exactly what would that entail?

During a communion/Eucharistic service in the Roman Catholic Mass, does the bread literally transform into Christ’s body and does the wine/juice actually become His blood? After all, He did tell His disciples, “This is My body… This is My blood.” We do not have to be spiritual geniuses to understand the ordinary meaning of these words. Perhaps, though, we have chosen to abandon all reason so as to keep parroting what others have told us. Here are seven reasons how we know, beyond any and all shadow of a doubt, the bread is not Jesus’ physical body and the wine/juice is not His physical blood.

Firstly, “is” in Matthew 26:26,28; Mark 14:22,24; Luke 22:19,20; and 1 Corinthians 11:24,25; is synonymous with “represents” or “symbolizes” (exactly as “is” functions in 2 Samuel 23:17 and Galatians 4:25). Secondly, Jesus Himself remained sitting at the table with them. He did not vanish to take the form of the bread; His blood was still running through His veins (He was alive at the table, was He not?), and was not drained into the cup! Thirdly and fourthly, the Law of Moses forbids consumption of blood (Leviticus 17:10-14) and contamination with dead bodies (Numbers 19:11-22).

Fifthly, after Christ spoke those words, He did not claim it was “blood” but still referred to it as “this fruit of the vine” (Matthew 26:29). Unlike those who idly speculate in religion, He would have known if it were mere juice or actual blood, right?! Sixthly, if the bread were really His body, the disciples will ever be remembered as cannibals! Finally, prophecy dictated that no bone of Jesus’ literal body would be broken (Psalm 34:20; John 19:31-36). Therefore, if the bread were literally His body, His bones were broken when the bread was divided and chewed (Matthew 26:26; Mark 14:22; Luke 22:19).

Whether mindlessly repeating lies in innocence, or intentionally spreading this deception, defenders of transubstantiation demonstrate unfathomable Bible ignorance—but, to the death, they maintain it is “biblical.” Do you see how the Devil loves the traditions of men? They are extremely profitable to his cause, serving as distractions from the pure Word of God….

“Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word” (Psalm 119:9 KJV).

If our physical posterity could augment its spiritual dexterity, exactly what would that entail?

Regarding the Lord’s Supper, the standard Roman Catholic boast is: “Our Holy Mother Church alone really has Jesus’ body and blood at her Eucharistic services. You Protestants cannot claim that privilege!” Of course, Bible verses are offered as support. Here, it behooves us to scrutinize these “proof texts.” Is it actually Scripture, or mere superstition?

Two Bible events supposedly authorize the Eucharist. One is generally called “the Last Supper” (Matthew 26:26-29; Mark 14:22-25; Luke 22:17-20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-25). The Roman Catholic contends thusly: “Jesus never said, ‘This bread represents My body’ or ‘This wine/juice represents My blood.’ He said, ‘This is My body… This is My blood.’” Frankly, such an interpretation is extremely infantile, superficial, and flimsy—but it is most dangerous since people base their eternal souls on it! (We will discuss that later.) For now, understand that God the Holy Spirit in His Word uses language like we do. As an example, displaying a picture of someone, we state, “This is [person’s name].” We (justly?!) assume our audience has enough sense to recognize the photograph is not the actual person, rendering it totally unnecessary for us to announce, “This represents [person’s name].”

Carefully note how these three verses use “is.” “This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you” (Luke 22:20; 1 Corinthians 11:25). Was that cup literally the New Testament, or just its symbol?! “For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia” (Galatians 4:25). Was Hagar really Mount Sinai, or did she merely represent it?! Did David have actual human blood in his cup in 2 Samuel 23:17 (“is not this the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives?”), or just water that signified lives endangered to obtain that water for him?! Friends, this is just plain common sense, simple verses that require no real effort to master. Likewise, “This is My body… This is My blood” is figurative—as are (obviously) “I am the door” (John 10:9), “I am the vine” (John 15:5), and so on.

The only way someone would get confused is if they wanted to be confused, and, there are plenty such people….

“Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word” (Psalm 119:9 KJV).

If our physical posterity could augment its spiritual dexterity, exactly what would that entail?

Whether Protestant or Roman Catholic local churches, the communion service is generally a morsel of bread and a sip (or tiny cup) of juice/wine. It is no coincidence that these two divergent systems of thought could have such striking similarities. When Protestants left the (corrupt) Roman Catholic Church during the Reformation in the early 1500s, they retained the wafers and cups of juice/wine they saw in Romanism—although modifying or removing the “consecratory” words, abandoning the belief in an actual sacrifice, and so on. We will elaborate on all this later. For now, just understand: precious few are aware that a “mini-Mass” or “Mass-lite” is being carried out in Protestant churches that claim no affiliation with Roman Catholicism (which boasts of its full Mass)!

The Roman Catholic Lord’s Supper is titled “the Eucharist” (from “eucharisteo,” Greek for “I give thanks;” see Matthew 26:27). Such an elaborate ceremony is far more complicated than the average Protestant “communion service.” At its heart lies the belief that, allegedly, once Jesus said, “Take, eat; this is my body” (Matthew 26:26), the bread was literally altered into His actual body. Moreover, supposedly, when He declared, “Drink ye all of it; for this is my blood…” (Matthew 26:27,28), the contents of the cup actually changed into His literal blood. (The Roman term for these transformations is “transubstantiation.”) When a Roman priest utters certain words, the bread/wafer purportedly turns into Jesus’ literal body and the wine/juice is said to become His actual blood—though, strangely, they keep their physical properties (appearance, smell, taste) of bread and wine/juice! (Indeed, this “blood” can, and does, intoxicate!)

On the other hand, many Protestants see those words of Christ (“This is my body… This is my blood”) as figurative or non-literal, but rarely have studied the matter enough to firmly stand on a solid foundation of the truth. Under no circumstances do we wish to disparage anyone’s beliefs or values. Nevertheless, the truth is offensive (Galatians 4:16), and, ignorance of truth is not faith but rank unbelief. We must delve into the issue even more….

Believe What You Want!

“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do” (Hebrews 4:12,13 KJV).

Beware, friend! The Bible will let you believe whatever you want!

Long ago, I wondered how Almighty God could let people use His Word to teach false doctrine. After all, they appealed to Scripture and still wound up confused: quoting the Bible, they taught the most heretical, apostate, blasphemous ideas. Need a verse to prove water baptism saves? Mark 16:16! Want a passage to show that eating Christ’s physical body and drinking His physical blood imparts eternal life? John 6:53-57! Need a verse to demonstrate that Jesus is just a Man and not God? Mark 13:32! Want to emphasize legalism as pleasing to God today? Matthew 19:16-17!

The Holy Bible (King James Bible in English) is plain and clear to any soul honestly and humbly seeking God’s truth. However, most who use it are simply looking for proof texts to defend their denomination. They do not want Scripture to say what it says where it says it when it says it and to whom it says it. Actually, since they are filled with religious arrogance (what God’s Book knows—yes, knows!!—about them), He has supplied verses to validate their pet positions! The result? Millions upon millions upon millions going to Hell… while quoting Scripture!!! Millions of Christians losing reward at the Judgment Seat of Christ… while quoting Scripture!!!

Certainly, God’s Word is no ordinary Book. It is “a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart” (today’s Scripture). The Bible reads us as we read it! It, being supernatural, evaluates our heart attitude and aim. If we approach it snubbing its dispensational layout (2 Timothy 2:15), we can expect nothing but difficulty and destruction (2 Peter 3:15-18). The God of the Bible values free will—yea, we are free to even deliberately choose error (Romans 1:18-32)!
