Catholics and "their" communion EXPOSED

I don’t understand why men (Catholics) do what they do, they use a different belief system (watch Bryan Denlinger’s videos exposing things like the mass and Catholicism; he researches a lot on catholicism) however with these scriptures hopefully you’ll understand what Jesus was saying. Yes during the time Jesus was with the people they offered actual bread and wine during that Passover “meal” but it was to symbolize receiving Jesus IN you and receiving His blood as payment for your sins; not eating actual flesh and blood of Jesus, this is why the people had a hard time understanding because they didn’t believe it is symbolic and not physical and this is what I think the catholics are doing today they think its physically like taking a bite out of Jesus and drinking His blood. I’m not great at explaining stuff, please understand, but I hope that by providing some scriptures I came across they will help you to understand. God is always our helper, pray for wisdom Noah, I’m just a brother, and yes I want to help if I can but I’m pretty limited, God is infinitely greater.

 

Luke 22:15-21

“And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:

¹⁶ For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

¹⁷ And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:

¹⁸ For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.

¹⁹ And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

²⁰ Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

²¹ But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.” KJV.

 

Matthew 26:26-29

“And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. ²⁷ And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; ²⁸ for this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. ²⁹ But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.” KJV.

 

 

John 6:26-27

"Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed." KJV.

  

Check out John 6:31-35 with emphasis on verse 33.

John 6:31-35

"Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.

32Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.

33For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.

34Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.

35And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst." KJV.

 

John 6:41-47

“The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven. ⁴² And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven? ⁴³ Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves. ⁴⁴ No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. ⁴⁵ It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. ⁴⁶ Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father. ⁴⁷ Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.” KJV.

 

John 14:6-11

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. ⁷ If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

⁸ Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. ⁹ Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? ¹⁰ Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. ¹¹ Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.” KJV.

 

 

 1 John 5:11

“And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.” KJV.

 

John 5:24

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” KJV.

  

Daily bread I believe here refers to the word of God, food is referred to as “meat” even vegetables are referred to as meat.

 

Genesis 1:29

“And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.” KJV.

 

Check out Matthew 6:9-13 with emphasis on verse 11.

Matthew 6:9-13

“After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. ¹⁰ Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. ¹¹ Give us this day our daily bread. ¹² And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. ¹³ And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.” KJV.

For John 6:48-51 and think of Matthew 4:1-11 with emphasis on verse 4.

John 6:48-51

“I am that bread of life. ⁴⁹ Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. ⁵⁰ This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. ⁵¹ I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” KJV.

Matthew 4:1-11

“Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. ² And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. ³ And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. ⁴ But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

⁵ Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, ⁶ and saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. ⁷ Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

⁸ Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; ⁹ and saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. ¹⁰ Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. ¹¹ Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.” KJV.

  

 The overall message is about receiving Jesus as savior. The eating of the body and blood are symbolic, but the catholics nowadays with a prayer "turn" bread and wine it into flesh and blood thinking they are physically eating Jesus. When Jesus was here before the crucifixion at this time they were still in the Old Testament, still under the Law, and these people were at this time not saved, it was after Jesus' death on the cross that the New Testament begins and believing the Gospel (which nowadays is 1Corinthians 15:1-4) saves you, read Hebrews 9:16-17.

 

Hebrews 9:16-17

“For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. ¹⁷ For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.” KJV.

 

 John 6:50-51 if you receive of Jesus' bread He is giving His flesh to be crucified.

 

John 6:50-51

“This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. ⁵¹ I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” KJV.

John 19:33-34

”But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: ³⁴ but one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.” KJV.

 

John 6:52-56

“The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? ⁵³ Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. ⁵⁴ Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. ⁵⁵ For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. ⁵⁶ He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.” KJV.

 

Remember this whole time is the Old Testament (before the crucifixion) blood is forbidden at that time.

 

Genesis 9:1–4 is even before the law of Moses and blood is forbidden.

Genesis 9:1-4

“And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. ² And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered. ³ Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. ⁴ But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.” KJV.

 

This is now during The Law.

Leviticus 17:13-14

“And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust. ¹⁴ For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.” KJV.

 

What I believe is that here when Jesus is talking to them, He doesn't want to confuse them with “Old Testament vs New Testament”, but what He is saying is getting them ready for the coming dispensation of grace which is to follow after Jesus' death, burial and resurrection on the third day which is our current dispensation (God dispensing grace upon us in this way). Receiving the bread is God's word (scripture) and The Word (Jesus). The blood is Jesus' actual blood on the cross that we receive by believing in Him and the Gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) as the payment for our sin. Eating is like receiving into you. Have Jesus in you (His Holy Spirit) which He later gave.

John 14:16-17

“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; ¹⁷ even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.” KJV.

 

John 14:26

“But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” KJV.

 

Ephesians 1:13-14 as emphasis but Ephesians 1:3-14.

Ephesians 1:3-14

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: ⁴ according as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: ⁵ having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, ⁶ to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. ⁷ in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; ⁸ wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; ⁹ having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: ¹⁰ that in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: ¹¹ in whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: ¹² that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. ¹³ in whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, ¹⁴ which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.” KJV.
