The Eucharist does not endure, it does not stay, it does not remain in existence, it does not empower to eternal life.,

If it did. You would not keep eating it, Like the fathers kept eating manna in the desert, and it does not even promise eternal life.
Good point!

Much love!

We take the sacrement to remember Christ our Lord. And we usually do it weekly:

1 Corinthians 11:24-25


King James Version


24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.

25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

Jesus said it is the SPIRIT that gives life..the WORDS he speaks are spirit and they are life.

Indeed and yet you deny those very words:

Jesus said to them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you.

Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day.

For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.

Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him.



How rightly did Jesus say of pharisees:


You search the scriptures, because you think you have eternal life through them; even they testify on my behalf.

But you do not want to come to me to have life.



For 2000 years the Church has proclaimed and lived this Truth.

All are welcome to come to the wedding Feast of the Lamb of God!


The Spirit and the bride say, "Come." Let the hearer say, "Come." Let the one who thirsts come forward, and the one who wants it receive the gift of life-giving water.

lol.. No. I did not deny his words.

I just interpret his words correctly

You pic one sentence out of everything he has said while on earth and make a sacrament out of it. Yet denying the fact as I showed. that john 6 and the lords supper have two different contexts.

Feel free to eat that supposed flesh that does not give you eternal life

I ate the bread from heaven 40 years ago. And as Jesus said, it still lives in me, It still exists. It will never die. it endures forever.

Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me.

Yet you eat and are not assured to live as long as Jesus lives (forever)

You will not convince any Catholic that their sacramentalism is false
It is not my intention to convince anyone. I study and seek the truth, present it and leave it at that. If you or anyone are not happy to accept the truth that is your problem not mine.

LOL! By your posting you are clearly trying to have others agree with you. You present the truth? How modest of you!

Liar?

You don’t eat daily or weekly?

You are assured you will NEVER DIE, NEVER HUNGER, NEVER THIRST. LIVE FOREVER once you have eaten it?

When did you change your view?

You are mistaken, it does indeed give Life. Here is some more from St. Ignatius:

Assemble yourselves together in common, every one
of you severally, man by man, in grace, in one faith
and one Jesus Christ, who after the flesh was of
David's race, who is Son of Man and Son of God, to the
end that ye may obey the bishop and presbytery without
distraction of mind; breaking one bread, which is the
medicine of immortality and the antidote that we
should not die but live for ever in Jesus Christ.

Quite true. I am very modest as I won't present the truth until I have researched it thoroughly with men who are experts in their field.

A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing personal opinion. Proverbs 18:2
Physician, know they self!

Proverbs 18:3, "When wickedness comes, contempt comes also,
and with dishonor comes disgrace."
