In the beginning there was the spirit of a beast that identified with its surroundings using a sound that came from within, within him also came art, pictography and music, but sound was invisible without a body, a picture or an image, so notes were designed to go with this sound to identify with it, thus giving the Spirit a body in the flesh that would be visible. The Harp -ABCDEFG. God major the RULING father notes of man’s mind, body and spirit. Commandments were made for best practices and use of this new found art for the beast had taken its spirit and put it into the flesh where rules where needed to avoid conflicting the spirit. Church was the original school and government used to establish a relationship with this word but the word was later hijacked for its power. Jesus came along and was a baby Genius, a son born in the spirit of love, truth and knowledge -abcdefg. god minor died to seal the Fathers truth protecting it when other beast formed its government and new agendas ruling the flesh of the world and away from the traditional Fathers teachings of the sacred God Almighty Spiritual Word of Man and its Kind. Numbers rooted and today we live in a matrix preforming algebraic equations to shape our lives through our minds, our bodies and spirits with the ability to shape an outcome amongst our piers. The Bible was written so that few would understand and it not appear as a threat to the evil ones all while testing spirits and surviving away from dictatorships unbound by spiritual laws. Not everything is literal. Jesus walks on water! He will make known the truth with a splash test him not. So what’s it like to have a sound mind? Part them hands open them books and pray on them answers! God is the vocal instrument reflecting life and the spirit, it is an innocent mirror a reflection of the beast interior. It is 100% good it has only progressed an animal into more than it would have ever been without it. God is what you make of it him her or any other word in the dictionary. We come from the soil we are the fruit of our vine our purpose is to serve the spirit the spirit is our word our word is out God until the soil we return.

Died like all the earthy image shall die. From dust thou are , to dust thow shall return. The earthy image was first . Than received a heavenly image like a Angel ore a figure like a man , even a ghost. A ghost can only be one image , as the image he was as a earthy man. Now this heavenly image of a man is k own as the right hand / strong hand / even hands of God. Not only that , he is the Angel with the LORD'S NAME in him . Exodus 23:20-22 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him. But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries. 1. I send an Angel before thee , and my NAME is in him. 2. Obey his voice, and do all that I speak. Meaning , whatever the Angel spoke , that was the LORD speaking. Genesis 18:1-3 And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground, And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant: Genesis 18:22-27 And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD. And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked? Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein? That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes. And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes: 1. Two men turned towards Sodom and Gomorrah. Lot met them as two angels the next chapter. 2. Behold now, I spoke unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes. 3. The LORD appeared as three men . Two left as angels that looks like men.

Just because you don’t understand the teachings of the Catholic Church that doesn’t mean you should leave it and try to guide yourself. You have become a sheep without a shepherd, and have abandoned the Eucharist. "Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions on the grace of Jesus Christ which has come to us, and see how contrary their opinions are to the mind of God.... They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, flesh which suffered for our sins and which that Father, in his goodness, raised up again. They who deny the gift of God are perishing in their disputes" (Letter to the Smyrnaeans 6:2-7:1 [A.D. 110]). Ignatius of Antioch on the Eucharist who is the student of the apostle John and likely knew other apostles. Ultimately you left the rock on which Jesus built his church, as did martin Luther over a thousand years after Jesus established the church.

[@saldol9862]

They removed 7, but yeah it confuses me when protestantism loves to go yell about things being unscriptural while following some deranged German heresiarch’s demands to cut the bible short. Even as a Catholic I can at least respect that the Orthodox remember that sacred tradition is an integral part to the faith and that abandonment of tradition leads to a complete breakdown. Prior to the reformation, schisms were large scale but rare, with centuries between the schism of the Oriental Orthodox and Chalcedonian Christianity and the great schism of 1054, and the breakaway churches all retained episcopal polity. Even we Catholics do not question the validity, though not the liceity, of Orthodox apostolic succession. Meanwhile many Protestants have abandoned a formal priesthood and basically create a new denomination every tuesday over someone finding a newer way to be even more wrong.

Why is it Catholics think that compiling scripture that was already considered the Word of God into one book is equal to creating the scriptures? Sola Scriptura does not mean that the Bible is our only authority, but it is the only infallible authority. There is nothing wrong with authority that comes from the church fathers, bishops, pastors or priests but it doesn’t outrank the scriptures and cannot contradict the scriptures. The reason the reformation happened was due to the institution of the Catholic Church selling indulgences, torturing and burning people at the stake for daring to own a Bible in English among other corruptions that completely contradicted the Holy Word of God. The Catholic Church split the Church by excommunicating faithful people who dared to question the authority of the church as opposed to the authority of scripture.

[@chellybear3380]

This is *chefs kiss* 🤌 It baffles me that Catholics are so disgusted with the reformation, when in reality the reformation set so many crucial things into motion. Without it, we wouldn't have the same rights we do today. The first few pilgrims on the mayflower traveled to the United States in search of religious freedom and better opportunities. The ideas behind the reformation are the same ideas that were fundamental in the establishment of our constitution. Free will, the right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, the right to defend yourself and your property (2nd ammendment), the right to freedom of speech and the right of religious freedom and expression are just some examples of those core ideals and they are all based on scripture as well. These Christian principles that were made popular during the reformation also led to the abolition of slavery and the civil rights movement in this country later on. The reformation also led to the translation of the Bible into common languages such as English and thanks to that, Christianity has made its way across the entire world. It has made a huge impact on the faith of so many allowing people to understand what it is they actually believe. My grandparents have told me many stories of them growing up going to Catholic mass back when it was all in Latin. Nobody understood anything and they left mass with no spiritual food or guidance. They did what they were told, followed the rules but left church sometimes more broken then they arrived. Thanks to the reformation people now understand the gospel. They understand the truth and the impact of Jesus Christ's teachings and what He did on Earth and it has made all the difference. God has a purpose for everything ❤

@@TheAwesomemike1 that quote is the only thing that Catholics use to point towards the papacy. Nowhere else in scripture does it reference anyone being the head of the church, or if Peter has the right to pass down his authority to any successors. It's debatable whether or not the "rock" statement was even referring to Peter, it's possible that Jesus was actually talking about the fact that he was the Christ, the son of the living God, and that was the foundation on which the church would be built. Regardless, even if he was referring to Peter, he never said anything about him or his descendants having perfect divine authority on earth, and I think if you look back on the many controversies of past popes as well as the current one, you can see that they are not infallible, and that is what Catholic Papal authority is built upon. Remember that in the Middle Ages the Catholic Church actively discouraged the populace from reading their Bibles, claiming that the clergy, specifically the Pope, alone had the ability to properly discern scripture, and this led to many abuses of Papal privileges, such as indulgences. I think that most Catholics are people I would call brothers and sisters in Christ, but the organization of the Catholic Church has some very serious issues with its handling of scripture.

[@JamesBarber-cu5dz]

Prior to medieval Christian claims in regards to the Apostles, the Pharisees had already set an example of developing doctrine based on an authoritative oral tradition allegedly having been passed down alongside Scripture from Moses himself. Moreover, despite the fact that the Pharisees were responsible for establishing the proper Old Testament canon for Israel (included in Christian Bibles), much as later Catholics claim for themselves, their assertions of tradition's authority was roundly condemned by none other than Jesus Himself: "You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition!" In all of Biblical history, not one mention is made about authoritative oral tradition as a compliment to Scripture. During the Apostolic Age, both Christ and the Apostles always appealed to Scripture as the final authority for any claims or practices under consideration. This is logical since only the Apostles and Prophets were understood as authoring Scripture and therefore having such authority. Priests, though appointed by God, were always commanded to follow Scripture rather than extraneous customs. Prominent early Church Fathers recognized and honored these principles, asserting that the true Catholic Church must always act in harmony with Scripture whenever "small matters" of tradition, as St. Basil the Great (d. 379) identified such issues, aren't specifically addressed. Thus, anything truly alien to Scripture or its theological principles must be abandoned. For example, here is St. Basil describing such considerations as he experienced them in the 4th-century: "For instance, to take the first and most general example, who is there who has taught us in writing to sign with the sign of the cross those who have trusted in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ? What writing has taught us to turn to the East at the prayer? Which of the saints has left us in writing the words of the invocation at the displaying of the bread of the Eucharist and the cup of blessing? For we are not, as is well known, content with what the apostle or the Gospel has recorded, but both in preface and conclusion we add other words as being of great importance to the validity of the ministry, and these we derive from unwritten teaching. Moreover we bless the water of baptism and the oil of the chrism, and besides this the catechumen who is being baptized. On what written authority do we do this? Is not our authority silent and mystical tradition? Nay, by what written word is the anointing of oil itself taught? And whence comes the custom of baptizing thrice? And as to the other customs of baptism from what Scripture do we derive the renunciation of Satan and his angels? Does not this come from that unpublished and secret teaching which our fathers guarded in a silence out of the reach of curious meddling and inquisitive investigation? Well had they learnt the lesson that the awful dignity of the mysteries is best preserved by silence. What the uninitiated are not even allowed to look at was hardly likely to be publicly paraded about in written documents" (The Holy Spirit, 27:66). Obviously, it makes good sense that such "small matters" of tradition can be legitimately supported since Scripture and its clear principles are not violated. However, St. Basil also has this to say about Scripture and Church doctrine: "Enjoying as you do the consolation of the Holy Scriptures, you stand in need neither of my assistance nor of that of anybody else to help you to comprehend your duty. You have the all-sufficient counsel and guidance of the Holy Spirit to lead you to what is right" (Letter 283). St. Jerome (d. 420), writing in the 5th-century, likewise describes acceptable traditions as being very harmonious with Scripture: "Don't you know that the laying on of hands after baptism and then the invocation of the Holy Spirit is a custom of the Churches? Do you demand Scripture proof? (Note that what he refers to here as a custom is actually described multiple times in the Book of Acts!). And even if it did not rest on the authority of Scripture the consensus of the whole world in this respect would have the force of a command (Obviously because of very clear consistency since he used a Scriptural example of what a legitimate Church custom looks like). For many other observances of the Churches, which are due to tradition, have acquired the authority of the written law, as for instance the practice of dipping the head three times in the layer, (A neutral practice implied by Jesus's "Great Commission" formula and later found in the Didache) and then, after leaving the water, of tasting mingled milk and honey in representation of infancy (Old Testament symbols); and, again, the practices of standing up in worship on the Lord's day (Standing is in the Book of Ezra), and ceasing from fasting every Pentecost; and there are many other unwritten practices which have won their place through reason and custom. So you see we follow the practice of the Church, although it may be clear that a person was baptized before the Spirit was invoked" (Jerome, Dialogue Against the Luciferians, 8). Keeping these principles of maintaining traditions that merely illuminate explicit Scriptural doctrines in view, we can now make sense of what other early Fathers write about Scripture's unique authority.... Clement of Alexandria (d. ca. 216) said, “But those who are ready to toil in the most excellent pursuits, will not desist from the search after truth, till they get the information from the Scriptures themselves” (Stromata 7:16). Hippolytus of Rome (d. 235) said, “There is, brethren, one God, the knowledge of whom we gain from the Holy Scriptures and no other source” (Against the Heresy of One Noetus 9). Hilary of Poitiers (d. 367): “Everything that we ought to say and do, all that we need, is taught us by the Holy Scriptures ” (On the Trinity, 7:16). St. Athanasius (d. 375) said, “The Holy Scriptures, given by inspiration of God, are of themselves sufficient toward the discovery of truth. (Orat. adv. Gent., ad cap.) “The holy Scripture is of all things most sufficient for us” (To the Bishops of Egypt 1:4)." "The Catholic Christians will neither speak nor endure to hear anything in religion that is a stranger to Scripture; it being an evil heart of immodesty to speak those things which are not written,” (Exhort. ad Monachas). “Vainly then do they run about with the pretext that they have demanded Councils for the faith’s sake; for divine Scripture is sufficient above all things; but if a Council be needed on the point, there are the proceedings of the Fathers, for the Nicene Bishops did not neglect this matter, but stated the doctrine so exactly, that persons reading their words honestly, cannot but be reminded by them of the religion towards Christ announced in divine Scripture.” (De Synodis, 6). St. Basil of the Great (d. 379) said, “Therefore let God-inspired Scripture decide between us; and on which side be found doctrines in harmony with the word of God, in favour of that side will be cast the vote of truth” (Letter 189:3). St. Cyril of Jerusalem (d. 386) said, "We ought not to deliver even the most casual remark without the Holy Scriptures: nor be drawn aside by mere probabilities and the artifices of argument. Do not then believe me because I tell thee these things, unless thou receive from the Holy Scriptures the proof of what is set forth: for this salvation, which is of our faith, is not by ingenious reasonings, but by proof from the Holy Scriptures...Let us then speak nothing concerning the Holy Ghost but what is written; and if anything be not written, let us not busy ourselves about it. The Holy Ghost Himself spoke the Scriptures; He has also spoken concerning Himself as much as He pleased, or as much as we could receive. Be those things therefore spoken, which He has said; for whatsoever He has not said, we dare not say" (Catechetical Lectures, 4.17ff). St. Gregory of Nyssa (d. 394) said, "What then is our reply? We do not think that it is right to make their prevailing custom the law and rule of sound doctrine. For if custom is to avail for proof of soundness, we too, surely, may advance our prevailing custom; and if they reject this, we are surely not bound to follow theirs. Let the inspired Scripture, then, be our umpire, and the vote of truth will surely be given to those whose dogmas are found to agree with the Divine words (Dogmatic Treatises, Book 12. On the Trinity, To Eustathius). St. Ambrose (d. 396) said, “How can we use those things which we do not find in the Holy Scriptures?” (Ambr. Offic., 1:23). St. Augustine (d. 430) said, "For the reasonings of any men whatsoever, even though they be [true Christians], and of high reputation, are not to be treated by us in the same way as the canonical Scriptures are treated. We are at liberty, without doing any violence to the respect which these men deserve, to condemn and reject anything in their writings, if perchance we shall find that they have entertained opinions differing from that which others or we ourselves have, by the divine help, discovered to be the truth. I deal thus with the writings of others, and I wish my intelligent readers to deal thus with mine (Letters, 148.15). “For in regard to the divine and holy mysteries of the faith, not the least part may be handed on without the Holy Scriptures. Do not be led astray by winning words and clever arguments. Do not even listen to me if I tell you anything that is not supported by or found in the Scriptures” (Exposition on Psalm 119). John Cassian (d. 435): “We ought not to believe in and to admit anything whatsoever which is not in the canon of Scripture or which is found to be contrary to it” (Conferences, 14.8).

The Bible is not a Catholic book but an amalgamation of multiple books that were decided upon by different councils when the church was still united. This means that the Bible was not created by the Catholic Church alone, but also by the Orthodox Church when they were still united. The process of selecting which books to include in the Bible began in the early Christian church, where there was no official canon or list of accepted books. Different Christian communities had different collections of writings that they considered authoritative and inspired by God. Over time, various councils and leaders within the church debated which books should be considered part of the Bible. The Council of Carthage in 397 AD is often cited as one of the earliest examples of a council that confirmed a list of books for the Bible. However, it is important to note that this was not a Catholic council but a council of bishops from North Africa.

But obviously this is what God has ordained. I would encourage anyone who is looking to further understanding is pray to God about what you want then let him decide.

@@JC-li8kk What you say it's true, and it's false at the same time, because, just being catholic doesn't neccesarily assure your salvation, as well as being protestant or being evangelist, etc, because anyone can claim to be catholic and to even attend the holy mass, or go to confession, etc, but, if insede him, there's no true love for others, for Jesus, and he/she keeps sinning without any intention or effort to stop sinning , then of course that poor person cpould be condeemed. However you have to understand, that He left us his sacraments, our Lord Jesuchrist, he wanted an institution to be formed, to be ordered, where all his sheeps can congregate, and where, according to his mandatory, where the holly mass can take place in, which is literally reviving the sacrifice so the bread and wine turns into his flesh and blood, that's the eucharist, and he just left that power and authority to his priests, power that comes from him, our lord, but not from them. You fellow protestants sadly believe that all that was simbolic, becuase you restrain god's power and you don't even notice that, you ignore even when our Lord told his disciples to retain sins or to forgive sins, but that doesn't mean they have to power to forgive or they sacrificed or they're Goids, of course not, it's just that Our lord wanted it to be that way, to left that responsability to priests so that they decide to "forgive" or absolve a truly repented sinner of his sins, when the sinner confess them, Jesus forgive the sinner through his priest, and, the perfect and unique mediation of course is from Jesus, but whan Saint Paul meant is that any other PARALEL mediation must be excluded, meaning that there is NONE like his's, however he didn't exclude a SUBORDINATE MEDIATION, that is to say someone who can just COOPERATE with the union of men with God, when you and me pray for someone, begging the father for example to have mercy on someone, we're cooperating in that sense, and we're interceding as well, and the saints can intercede becuase, as Paul implied, by the moment he dies, HE would be next to Jesuschrist, or "with him" , if Jesus is omnipresent, the saints are also with him all the time and THATS WHY THEY CAN ALSO HEAR OUR PRAYERS, but that doesn't mean they're omnipresent or Gods, NO, it's just because Jesus make them be by his side all the time, and Jesus is the only one who is omnipresent on his own, because he's also God, "the son", and also that's something i think protestants can't accept, because of wrong interpretation of the scriptures. As the video says, there's nothing that Jesus's Church misinterpret or contradict when the scriptures are PROPERLY understood. Catholic means "UNIVERSAL", that is to say, the only one founded by our lord, with his sacraments, that there's no place for any other interpretation. If you make some little research, it was Saint Ignacio of Antioquia the one who called the early church "Catholic" for the very first time, in year 101 or 102 if i'm not wrong. Saint Ignacio was the disciple of Saint Paul and Saint Jhon, and he also was a Martyr giving his life for Christ. When we mention and defend the Catholic Church, we're not saying that it saves us while ignoring Jesus, NO, we do it because it's his precious church, with the sacraments that helps us unites us to him, still the sacraments are not foreign to him, because the eucharist is literally his flesh and blood, and biggest and most precious gift he left us, and the confession is also where He's present at, and forgive us through his priests. really making pure our souls again, lastly, my friend, just do some research, look at the great number of saints that have existed, the martyrs, all were catholics, the miracles because of their intercession, and to make it clear, they DON'T do the miracle, it's God who do the miracle but because of their intercession. look for the real cases of exorcisms, and the the apparitions and messages of our lord and the virgin mary to some saints. And yeah maybe you guys will say that those apparitions were just the demon , but, do yuou really think that the demon would say to us to stop offending God?, to convert, to repent, to do penance, to love, etcetera, do you?, and that's some things that Virgin Mary for example said in the apparition of Fatima in 1917. the ones we must reject and not trust on, are those when the demon want to lie to us contradicting the gospel.

And this can be extended repeatedly-the implied meaning of “seventy times seven” (Matthew 18:22). Nevertheless, we don’t have divine authority to both forgive and cleanse anyone’s sins-only God can do that. It is blasphemy for the Pope to be called a Holy Father. We have ONE father in heaven.

So instead of saying the nonsense you said, read the Bible in Typology. Ask yourself what was the spiritual and theological meaning of the “Rock” for Jews, because in Context after picking his 12 apostles, he told Simmon he will change his name to “Rock”, what did that mean for Jews ? Let me show you what is Paganism brought into Christianity: The doctrine of Sola Scriptura that all of you follow, none of the different Catholic Churches and the Orthodox Churches (The Only real Apostolic Churches in the World for 2000 years) believed that but the reformers brought that Islamic Teaching into Christianity.

No, it isn't. The eastern churches had nothing to do with the compiling of the Bible. It was done in Rome under the authority of the Pope.

@@SanctusPaulus1962 …we don’t have the same Cannon as Rome.

[@larrywarner4843]

The Great Church compiled the Bible, and the Canon was only finalized in response to the Reformation, and we clearly didn't accept Rome's version.

[@sontan5501]

Amen! bro.Gabi, also we believe in one Holy Catholic Apostolic Church.

If you hold the name Catholic above the name of Jesus you are a false teacher. Stop preaching Catholicism & start preaching Jesus. There is only one gospel, & it’s not the gospel of Catholics, it’s the gospel of Christ Jesus. There is only one church, not the Catholic Church, but the church of Jesus Christ. God hates every name that is exalted above the name of Jesus. You have been warned. May the Holy Spirit guide you into all truth.

[@delfinojaredm.6233]

​@@JC-li8kk, in the Catholic Church, we preach Jesus is thr Lord and Christ, and Christ established the Church and the Apostles preached this Church founded by Christ. And yes, there's only one Church of Christ and that is the One, Holy, Apostolic, Catholic Church.

For Protestants out there: Martin Luther added the word "alone" in the Lutheran Bible, which sparked into other Protestant translations, so that it reads "by faith alone." That is absolutely unacceptable heresy, because A. he was excommunicated from the church for his radical views, and B. he went ahead and with one word, unraveled sacred scripture's meaning. This is not revolutionary, this is destruction of salvation for those who follow false doctrine and believe that by "faith alone" you are saved, already justified in your sins because Jesus died...no, you're not. Confess them to the Lord through the priest in reconciliation, THEN you are justified and forgiven/absolved of ALL your sins you bear and bring to Him. The concept and manipulation of "faith alone" brings a dangerous and unfathomable destruction to the lives of the faithful if all they have to do and say is "I believe in Jesus," because while that's a part of it, we must LIVE faith, SUBMIT to faith, and REMAIN in faith. Literally anyone can say "I love and believe in Jesus," yeah cool. What does that mean to profess that and not live it? What does that mean if you say it, but don't mean it? That's utter heresy. Come home, Protestants...we miss you...He misses you.

[@robbklobb6501]

Negative. Father Luther did not add that word to any Bible. Faith alone is actually mentioned in every bible, but only once. In the one instance it is mentioned it is actually condemned.

[@jameshathaway5117]

I will only say what Paul once said. If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead then YOU WILL BE SAVED. If you want to argue with Paul be my guest but I doubt it ends well.

[@robbklobb6501]

@PaladinOf-888 thank you for that! It’s extremely thorough and looks like you spent a lot of time, which I appreciate. Just remember that faith is action and not just “intellectual acknowledgement” that Jesus is the Christ. After all, the devil himself believes Jesus is the way, the truth and the light, yet such belief will not save him or humanity. We must live the faith, besides just proclaiming it. The Jews understood faith as an action, and not merely intellectual ascent, however intellectual ascent is the first step to living faith.

[@ImJustMovin]

I mean to be fair the Catholic Church did do a lot of stuff during the Middle Ages that caused the unity yall want so much one of the most notable being having an execution/torture squad that went after “blasphemers” and “witches” who were really just people that didn’t go along with the what the corrupt Pope at the time wanted to do second to your point about there being thousands of Protestant denominations that is because of the definition of Protestant basically anyone who is not orthodox or catholic but believes in Lord Jesus is all grouped up into one group under that definition even though they don’t all share the same beliefs so so really it just the fault of whoever made the definition of Protestant for not making more specification

[@politicaldissidence]

Well considering the old testament, and new testament predates the Catholic church. I think I'll trust the word, thanks. The Catholic church is man's doctrine, not sanctified by God. Which is exactly why Christ willingly got nailed to the cross. Not just to absolve us of our transgressions against God, but, to do away with mans traditions, mans law, and doctrines, and to fulfill the law of God

@@Scientist_Albert_Einstein I appreciate the good that Catholics do in the world. I also agree that Jesus Christ established a church.

It’s like the Eucharist or communion. Catholics believe that it is the literal blood and flesh of Christ which Christ instructs us to partake in in the Bible. Protestants on the other hand will tell you that communion is just to be taken in memory of Christ and that it’s symbolic but in scripture Christ is commanding us to eat His flesh and drink His blood.
