  1. The Eucharist has nothing to do with salvation. You don't get to heaven just because you participated in Communion which btw most Protestants do as well. You get to heaven because of the grace of God and faith in him that died for your sins.

  2. (not a protestant here) I'm not Catholic and I want the Eucharist.

    So um why am I not suddenly subscribing to Catholicism; simple, I read my Bible and I know what the Eucharist/communion/lords supper is and yeah I want it

  3. Sooooo the infallibility of the pope is because of the Eucharist? I can say only the Bible is infallible, I am saved by imputed righteousness not by infused righteousness, and say Jesus is truly present. So what now? The pope is still not infallible and I still don’t think I can possibly do a single thing to help the blood of Christ atone for my sins

  4. "Our church is the way, the truth, and the life. Noone comes to the eucharist but through our church."

    . . . Do you really wonder why Jesus' true sheep don't want that?

  5. Stop idolizing methodology over doctrine.

    Communion is remembering the sacrifice of Christ with bread and wine. Jesus said, “Do this in rememberance of me.” Jesus never said a priest has to do it, and if you don’t doing it the catholic way then you don’t want Jesus. That’s conflating preferential methods over simple obedience to Jesus.

  6. Eating the flesh and drinking the blood was not the Eucharist. It's laying down you life in Jesus' name. Breaking bread and drinking wine should be done in remembrance of Jesus. Jesus clarified to do it in remembrance. Referring to your heart being pointed in the right direction.

  7. It’s called gate keeping. The Pharisees were well known for this. Always adding things that must be done for someone to receive salvation. Jesus said he who receives me receives my father.

  8. I'm Presbyterian PCA and we have the Eucharist every Sunday. And we believe it's the real presence of Christ, which is why we end every service with it. I don't understand why Catholics act like they are the only ones who revere the Eucharist, which we call the Lord's table. Father Mike was instrumental in bringing me back to Christ through the Bible in a Year podcast, which is excellent. But it brought me home to the Protestant faith, and it was the Lord who led me there.

    I have great respect for Catholics and consider them brothers and sisters in Christ. I wish we could end the division.

  9. Well, first of all, the bread and wine are not the true body of Christ like Catholics believe…they are symbolic of the body and blood of Christ. Even Jesus's command that Paul lays out states: "Do this in rememberance of me." It even implies a symbolic meaning not a literal one. I just can't get behind the notion that the consecration transforms the bread and wine supernaturally into the body and blood of Christ. Its literally just a piece of bread and a sip of wine.

  10. I don’t understand why there is some issue with us receiving the Eucharist or communion while being a Protestant. I believe is is the blood and flesh of Christ, so why am I doing it wrong? Please tell me.

  11. I want Jesus but the only way to get Jesus is to invite Him into your heart to be your Lord and Savior. The ‘Eucharist’ cannot save or change a persons unrepentive heart. It gives a false hope that Christ resides in them and that their sins are forgiven. A person must recognize they’re a sinner in need of a Savior, repent of their sin and confess Jesus as Lord and Savior. Only through a personal invitation and relationship with Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit will He secure His eternal and constant presence. Don’t be fooled by ‘religion’ and tradition. Put your trust in Christ’s finished work on the cross then you'll know you have assurance He’ll never leave you!

  12. The bread and wine is symbolic of Christ. Just like baptism. Jesus finished His work on the cross. A person is NOT saved by being baptized as a baby. Sorry “father”, but this is not a convincing line. Saved by grace through faith. My love goes out to all Catholics but the bread and wine is symbolic of Jesus’s sacrifice, not His literal body and blood.

  13. John 6:53-66 teaches that true life comes from complete participation in Christ-a Union so deep it is described in the language of eating and drinking His very life. Whether one sees that as literal and sacramental (Catholic/Orthodox) or symbolic and faith-centered (Protestant), the meaning is the same. Christ Himself is our sustenance and salvation.

  14. Newsflash: Jesus Christ has nothing to do with YOUR Evil, Unholy and Historically Corrupt World's Largest "Crime Organization".. that you call..the Catholic Church!

    A Church that RAPED AND SEXUALLY ASSAULTED Literally Hundreds and Hundreds of Thousands of Innocent Children! 😮

    A Church that has an Evil, Unholy, Sinful and Historically Corrupt Vatican..that Lied and Deceived the Whole World..when they unsuccessfully tried to cover it all up..until they got caught! 😮

    A Church that has Literally Murdered over Tens of Thousands of Innocent Human Beings..in their Ungodly Evil History ! 😮

    A Church that was just Ordered recently to Pay Out over 4 Billion Dollars (that's 4 Billion with a B..not an M) in Damages to all the families of all the Hundreds and Hundreds of Thousands of Children that your Evil, Unholy and Historically Corrupt Catholic Church RAPED and Sexually Assaulted! 😮

    A Church that Literally has Committed More Crimes and that has Literally Committed More First Degree Felonies in their History (including but not limited to Incest, Embezzlement, Thievery, Money Laundering, Child Rape and Murder).. which is Literally and Actually More than the Ku Klux Klan, the Mafia..and Hamas..all Combined! 😮

    Indeed, "You will KNOW them..by their FRUIT"….. not their theology!

    –Jesus Christ

    Hence, only a Brainwashed person.. or someone who is Evil…or someone who is simply D**b as F…would continue to be a member of one of the most Evil, Unholy, Sinful and Historically Corrupt Institutions..in all of Human History! 😮

  15. I cannot pray to people because it is extra biblical. Jesus taught us with the Lords prayer to pray only to the God the Father.I cannot follow a pope because he is only a man. I cannot believe in purgatory because it is extra biblical. I cannot worship Mary because it is extra biblical.
    Protestants have the Eucharist, we call it communion. Not allowing preist to marry is extra biblical.
