BULLSEYE!
ACCURATE
BIBLE
KNOWLEDGE!
“DO WE
DRINK THE ACTUAL BLOOD OF JESUS?”
QUESTION:
“Roman Catholics believe we eat the actual body of Jesus and drink his
actual
blood. Do we actually eat Jesus’ body and blood?”
ANSWER:
No.
EXPLANATION:
THE UPPER
ROOM AT THE
LAST SUPPER
That the
Lord Jesus the same night in which he was
betrayed took bread: And when he had given thanks, he brake it,
and
said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this
do in REMEMBRANCE
of me. (1 Cor 11:23-25) (not his
actual body)
After the same
manner also he took the cup,
when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my
blood:
this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in REMEMBRANCE of me.
(not his
actual blood)
ROME’S
LEADING THEOLOGIAN, “SAINT” ALPHONSAS
DE LIGUORI …
called
‘The Angelic Doctor of Rome’ and
author of “The Glories of Mary”, blasphemously states that a Roman
Catholic
priest creates God himself. He would have us believe, that when a Roman
Catholic priest so commands, the Lord Jesus Christ will appear in wafer
form to
put away sin. He says the following:
“We clergy
stand as
high above governments, above emperors, kings and princes as
the heaven above the earth. The kings and princes of this earth are
as
inferior to us priests, as lead is to the most refined gold. ANGELS
ARE FAR
INFERIOR TO US PRIESTS, FOR WE
CAN IN GOD’S STEAD FORGIVE SINS, which neither angels or archangels
could
ever do. We are above the mother of God because she has born Christ
only once,
while we priests can produce and create
Him daily. In short, WE PRIESTS ARE
IN SOME DEGREE ABOVE GOD FOR HE MUST BE AT OUR SERVICE AT ALL TIMES AND
IN ALL
PLACES AND AT OUR COMMAND THE CONSECRATION OF THE MASS DESCENDS FROM
HEAVEN.
God has certainly created the world with the words “Let there be” but
in the
words “Let there be”, WE PRIESTS CREATE
GOD HIMSELF.”
Well Dear
Reader, how about that! Man, that’s some
sort of party trick! As mentioned in a previous article, should these
fellows
get on “ITALY’S GOT TALENT”, they’d romp it in.
COMMON
SENSE IS NOT COMMON
“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.” (John 6:53)
How can this
be true when
we read in the same chapter the following four verses. This is called
reading a
verse in its context – what do the
other verses around it say. The other verses give it the proper and
real
meaning.
“Verily,
verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me
hath everlasting life.” (John 6:47). This means
if you never had the Lord’s supper,
you’d still go to heaven.
WHAT DID
THE JAILER SAY?
“And
brought
them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” (Acts
16:30-31)
No water
baptism here or ‘eating Jesus’ or ‘drinking the blood of Jesus’
here. Believing will get you saved not eating or drinking ‘Jesus’.
“As the
living Father hath sent me, and
I live by the Father: so he
that eateth me, even he shall live by me.” (John 6:57-58)
DID JESUS
EAT THE PHYSICAL FATHER IN HEAVEN?
Of course
not. Jesus is
talking about eating
spiritually of
the Father not eating the flesh of his Father in heaven.
“This is
that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers
did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth
of this bread shall live for ever.” (John
6:58)
In the
desert the Jews had physical bread and died. Jesus says “You need
the spiritual bread come down from heaven.” You see previously in the
same
chapter, Jesus performs the miracle of feeding the 5,000 (Jn 6:10).
So in
contrast, Jesus says don’t go after the physical bread, but come
after me the spiritual bread from heaven.
“Labour
not for
the meat which perisheth, but for
that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son
of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.” (John 6:27)
“It is the
spirit that quickeneth;
the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are
life.” (John 6:63)
Jesus says “You can eat the Lord’s supper all you
like, ten times a day and fifty times on Sunday if you like, but it
won’t do
you a scrap of good. The physical bread will not give you eternal life.”
CAN THE
JUICE OF
THE GRAPE BE CALLED BLOOD?
Yes. In
the Old Testament
we have the following:
“Butter of
kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of
lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of
kidneys of
wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood
of the grape.” (Deut 32:14)
In
addition, we
have
“Binding
his foal unto the vine, and his ass’s colt
unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes
in the blood of grapes:” (Genesis 49:11)
IS JESUS
AN ACTUAL DOOR when he
says
“Then said
Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I
say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.”
(John 10:7). Are we
actual sheep? Is Jesus an actual door? Of
course not!
IS JESUS
AN ACTUAL VINE?
Are we
actual tree branch? Of course not!
“I am the
vine, ye are the branches:
He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much
fruit: for
without me ye can do nothing.” (John
15:5)
PEOPLE GET
A BIT STUPID WHEN THEY READ A VERSE OUT OF CONTEXT
In fact
they just march
right into hell with their beliefs about what they think the Bible means
rather than what it says.
Three
verses for you to
meditate upon:
“Study to
shew thyself APPROVED
UNTO GOD, a
workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of
truth.” (2 Tim 2:15). You will
study to show yourself approved to
God not me or any other person here on earth.
“For the
time will come when they
will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall
they heap
to themselves teachers, having itching ears;” (2 Tim 4:3)
“As also
in all his
epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things
hard to be
understood, which they that are
unlearned and unstable wrest, as they
do also the other scriptures,
unto their own destruction.” (2 Pet
3:16)
