Today, Corpus Christi Sunday, celebrates The Body of Christ. Communion is a Great Winnower. If we worship God, we receive Catholic Communion, His actual Body and Blood. What happens to those who knowingly prefer man made idols? Judge our faith. Do we worship God, or man-made idols? Begin with passages from Mk 14:12-16, 22-26:
On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, (The symbolism is as appropriate as the timing.) when they sacrificed the Passover lamb (Again, the symbolism is as appropriate as the timing.), Jesus’ disciples said to him, “Where do you want us to go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?” He sent two of his disciples and said to them, “Go into the city and a man will meet you, carrying a jar of water. (Previously, “jar of water” appeared at His First Miracle, changing it into wine at The Wedding Feast of Cana.) Follow him. Wherever he enters, say to the master of the house. . .”
Then, the upper room is mentioned and the Passover meal is begun.
“While they were eating, He took bread, said the blessing, broke it, gave it to them, and said “Take it; this is my body.” Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it. He said to them, “This is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed for many. Amen, I say to you, I shall not drink again the fruit of the vine until the day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.” Then, after singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.”
He did NOT give His Body and Blood to those who abandoned Him, saying “This is insane!” when He told them “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.” For 1,500 years, Christians had no trouble believing that their Catholic priests, each one a “living link” in a chain that reached back to the Apostles, could also perform the Miracle of Transubstantiation.
Then? The Great Test of Faith. Intentionally, Scripture does not record, nor can human language describe, the transfer of power by which He gave His Disciples the authority to transform Bread and Wine into His Body and Blood and provide the other Sacraments. We know that by the actions of The Apostles, all of whom suffered pain and agony, and refused bribes to recant, while maintaining belief in The Only Church He Founded by saying “Thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”
Even today, every Protestant believes that Jesus once had the Power to have transformed Bread and Wine into His actual blood and body. They think He only did so at The Last Supper. Those in charge of Protestant services are no longer in a living link with with the Apostles whom Jesus ordained with the power to provide Sacraments. So, they only have “remembrance communion”. What is the point of that when The Actual Body and Blood of Jesus Christ are available right down the street?
We each make a choice. Choose. Corpus Cristi or idol? Rejection of Christ’s Actual Body and Blood in favor of some man-invented “remembrance communion” is an automatic violation of The First Commandment, “Thou shalt have no other God’s before Me.” It is idol worship.
There are a ridiculous 43,000 schisms. Each group within them is led by a “Pastor Bob”. He leads his little flock down the broad path, praising an idol.
