The first Protestants of the Christian Era appear in John 6:33, Jesus began to tell His followers: “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.”
“Huh?” they said. “What’s that mean? Must be symbolic!”
But, Jesus repeated twelve times: “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.”
The first Protestants of The Christian Era left, announcing “This is hard!” when they went off His Straight and Narrow Road in John 6:66.
They believed in Conventional Reality, rather than in Jesus. In every generation, worshiping The Idol of Self is the most widespread violation of The First Commandment.
Soon, only the 12 Disciples remained.
Afterwards, at The Last Supper, Jesus changed bread and wine into His Body and Blood. He provided The First Holy Communion to those in attendance so that those who believe and obeyed could “have life in you”.
In every generation’s ration of genes, “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.” separates Protestants from obedient Catholics.
Catholics understand that Jesus separates sheep from goats in every generation. Jesus used His power to establish One Church. He Ordained Catholic priests with the authority to forgive sins and bring about The Miracle of Transubstantiation for the absolved. He lets each person, in every generation, freely choose to do, or not do, what is necessary to “have life in you.”
That is too much for many to believe. Many joined Protestantism: “I don’t believe in all that Jesus taught.”
The need to obey His Great Separating Instruction is as it was 2,000 years ago. Only those who receive His Body and Blood have “life in” them.
Better to be on His Straight and Narrow road than in the ditch!
