What’s the connection between the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, and our own salvation and bodily resurrection? In particular, why does the Catechism call the Eucharist “a pledge of the life to come,” and “an anticipation of the heavenly glory” (CCC 1402)? What did early Church Fathers like St. Irenaeus, St. Augustine, and St. Gregory of Nyssa have to say on this topic? And how does all of this help us to make sense of Jesus’ claim that “I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he will live for ever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh” (John 6:51)?

I’ve never heard of this metabolizing into Jesus, I’ve always believed that it the bread and wine was turned into His Body and Blood though. The way that this man explained it just blew my mind!!!! 😳

@@aaabbb-py5xd No problem. I already knew a lot of this material, since it is part of the deposit of the Apostolic Faith we have received from the Apostles. But I did like: 1) the letter to the Ephesians where the Eucharist is called the medicine to immortality and anti-dote to death. Mind-blowing how many times I have read/heard that and didn't reflect on its deeper significance to the Real Presence as we understand it. 2) how the natural process of us taking food which is not us (ie. bread, meat, milk, etc.) it becomes part of us (an arm, an eye, a muscle, etc.). Jesus does the same to plain bread miracuously at the eucharist so we may eat His Flesh and drink His Blood and have eternal life within us. 3)What truly unites us as Catholics is not common belief (though it helps), BUT more importantly te more often we receive the Eucharist, Jesus is actually consuming us and we are becoming a part of His body, just as the food we eat becomes a true part of us. Non-caths are missing out on such a unique relationship with our God. 4) Jesus often described the heavenly banquet as a marriage banquet. That our union with Him was akin to a marriage, Him the Groom, we the Bride. It makes so much sense that within the Eucharist we get the joining of two flesh into one. This only makes real sense if two bodies are involved in reality; not just symbolic. That was just a few amazing insigts I can recall off-hand.

I finally realized the entire point of the new covenant is to get people into the church, His Church, His body of which he's the head. One head of one body! He lived, was crucified and raised to establish, with authority for His Father, and leave on earth, His one church with authority. He didn't do all that to leave the apostles with a pocket New Testament to pass out. The Church birthed the New Testament letters, they did not precede the church! And being united in His body (The Church) which is always united in the Father

@@mitchellosmer1293 Why do you comment as if I and others have not heard these weak/fallacious Protestant arguments before? The opposite of spirit/spiritual is NOT literal. The Holy Spirit is not mere metaphor. What was the unbelief that Jesus exposed? Their unbelief in Him AND His words about His flesh and blood being true food and drink that MUST be eaten and drunk. What was the "hard saying" of Jesus the disciples referred to? His flesh and blood being true food and drink that MUST be eaten and drunk. A mere symbolic meaning would not be a hard saying. Are you exposing your own unbelief in this hard saying of Jesus? How can you possibly know the meaning of the gospel of John better than Ignatius of Antioch, Justin Martyr, and Irenaeus?? According to early historical sources, Ignatius was ordained by the Apostle Peter, was a disciple of the Apostle John, and was the 2nd bishop of Antioch after Peter the Apostle and Evodius. Irenaeus was a disciple of Polycarp who was a disciple of the Apostle John. Your misinterpretation of Jn 6 doesn't have a leg to stand on, either from the text itself or the historical successors of John.

@@mitchellosmer1293 Actually when Jesus says it is 'spirit and life' then He means it LITERALLY and not symbolically. That is why He also said 'It is the spirit that gives life, the flesh is of no avail;' So eating mere bread, or even symbolic bread does NOTHING. That is why the Eucharist is the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus under the appearance of bread and wine so it can truly do what it signifies. That is how Apostolic Christians believed direct from the Apostles. Your interpretation only began with other un-believers in Luther, Calvin, et. Al.

The question of whether or not Jesus received his own body and blood is not definitively settled. St.Jerome, in the 5th century, said “The Lord Jesus Christ, Himself the guest and banquet, is both the partaker and what is eaten.” Thus, many Catholic theologians feel Christ received His own body yet differently from the rest of us who benefit from this sacrament spiritually. Obviously Christ did not need to receive the increase in grace, which we receive in the Eucharist today.

@@fantasia55 what do you mean? Luther? Luther never questioned transubstantiation. The reformation wasn’t about that. Transubstantiation was a heresy later discovered after people started reading the Bible. And reading scripture is a Torah tradition. You might think to yourself who has the right to interpret scripture. Well, believers in Christ have every right to interpret scripture. Torah tradition encouraged all Jews to read. Holy scripture. So with the New Testament, it’s suddenly too hard to read? Seriously? I can’t think of a single book in the New Testament harder to read than Leviticus, numbers, Genesis, Isaiah, I mean, the list goes on. So you have to ask yourself, either the church became stupid and it’s congregants lost the ability to read or the church is wrong. Given the dark ages, perhaps a little bit of both? Lol. When the new testament was written, it was written during a time, when Jews were fluent in the Torah and were multilingual. Today we don’t have that, but Jews of the time, including Rome knew Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek. It is only the church today that is commonly limited to one singular language, that we suddenly think who has the right to interpret or read such things. If anything, we’ve gotten dumb by comparison to the first church in terms of literature. So it’s one thing to say we don’t have the right to interpret scripture and it’s quite another thing to just admit to yourself that you’re dumbfounded by scripture. Ironically scripture talks about people like that. They are unbelievers because the god of this world blind them to the truth of scripture. Words of Paul

Dear@@lupelo8819, agreed, He dwells in our hearts. So why did He tell us that we meed to eat His Body and drink His Blood-- which He said in every Gospel (10 times in John) and in Paul's inspired firsy letter to the Corinthians. Or don't you believe in the Bible, that you have to close your eyes to the plain meaning? If you are invincibly ignorant, God will forgive you, I hope and pray. I would like you to get into Heaven. Let us pray for one another.

The Eucharist is the so-called Christian service, ceremony, or sacrament commemorating the Last Supper, in which bread and wine are consecrated and consumed."Since the apostles were among the earliest members of the _true_ Christian church, *WHERE* in the Bible does it say they participated in a cannibalistic ceremony of literally eating Jesus' flesh and drinking his literal blood? Answer: *NOWHERE!!!* So, is there any evidence that the _true_ Christian church believed in such a sick cannibalistic ritual as the Catholic Eucharist? Absolutely not!

@@christinacastillon6439 Oh, so you say that 1 Cor. 10:16-21 and 11:27-30 say that the apostles participated in a cannibalistic ceremony of snacking on Jesus' literal body and blood? How sick of you, pal.
