If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. (John 8:36)


The Holy Bible does not teach
cannibalizing the Christ!


John 6:53-58
53Then 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.
54Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
55For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
57As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
58This 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.


Jesus said that He IS the bread which came down from heaven. He did NOT say the he BECAME bread or vice-versa. Jesus was using a figure of speech called a metaphor.


John 6:60-63
60Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
61When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?
62What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
63It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.


Jesus obviously was not talking about physically eating and drinking Him, but SPIRITUALLY. The Bible passage of John chapter 6 nowhere mentions holy communion nor transubstantiation.


John 6:35
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.


1 Corinthians 11:23-26
23For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
24And 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.
25After 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.
26For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord's death till he come.


Holy Communion is a rememberance that shows, demonstrates and proclaims the Lord's death. But it is not a sacrifice of Jesus Himself.


Matthew 26:27-29
27And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
28For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
29But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.


The cup Jesus used in His analogy was filled with the fruit of the vine, not His own actual blood! It is the real shed blood of Jesus, not the Catholic communion cup, that cleanses us from sin.


Hebrews 7:27
Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.


Jesus was already offered for our sins. It is never to be done again. That means Christ is not offered through the Catholic Mass.


Hebrews 9:14
How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?


Give up attending Mass. The real shed blood of Jesus Christ paid the penalty so that you may be forgiven of all of your sins and misconduct. Receive new life by truly believing in Him. Trust that His blood, that was already shed for you, will transform your life!
