Why do Protestants think that Catholics sacrifice Jesus if they don't believe in the real presence...?

Question

of Jesus in the Eucharist?

By the way, if Protestants knew about Catholicism they would know that it's the same eternal sacrifice that was at Calvary, but it is represented at each Mass by the power of God. The way to describe it is that God allows for a window to open up in time to allow us to be there with Jesus at the foot of the cross 2,000 years ago whenever we are at Mass. It is a matter of faith in the power of God.

Answer 1

There is a difference between a mere human conviction and a supernatural faith like you have. They do not recognize the simple fact that we must unite ourselves physically to the invisible God, to the WORD of God. They (protestants) cannot answer why Jesus disappeared before the two disciples on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35) at the very moment they recognized Jesus in the breaking of the Bread. It is because He was the Bread! They cannot answer why Jesus said, "My flesh is real food, my blood is real drink." and allowed dozens of his disciples to walk away because the idea of canniblism was too much for them to accept. (John 6:55-71) Jesus himself said to Nicodemus that he was like the bronze snake Moses lifted up, that all who looked upon it would be healed. A supernatural faith requires us to see CONSECRATED bread and wine, to recognize it for what it truly is (THE BODY AND BLOOD OF JESUS), and believe it is the LAMB OF GOD, the WORD MADE FLESH, the ETERNAL SACRIFICE which only Spirit can do.

I would like to recommend the Eucharistic Rosary to you:
1. The Wedding Feast at Cana: changing water into wine.
2. The Multiplication of loaves and fishes.
3. The Teaching on the Bread of Life: Chapter 6 of John.
4. The Last Supper.
5. The Road to Emmaus: Scripture revealed by Christ in the breaking of the bread.

There are 3 basic mysteries in the Eucharist:
1. The real presence.
2. The sacrifice at Calvary.
3. The Communion with God.

Answer 2

It's good to remember the sacrifice. It is a faith issue for those on the right track.

What I have a beef with is that it has to be represented so carnally. That is, an object to be raised in place, to take the place of the real Jesus, the living Christ. The dark graven image of what he might of looked like as he was dying, seems to take the place of the living Glorified Jesus, in the way he is now.

It's the idolatry that is the problem. I would no more go for the placing myself in front of an idol to remember what he looked like dying, than I would want a graven image of him seated at the right hand of the Father.
the Roman Catholics can do what they want. I support that, but the truth is that he is not on anyones wall.

Why not do this instead:
Deuteronomy 11:18 Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.
19 And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
20 And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates:
21 That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.

It's the word of God, displayed without shame wherever you look in his honor, in a place of worship.

You see, the Old Testament, the Kings of Judah and Kings of Israel showed a pattern. That pattern showed that man, if counted on to do the right thing, would at times choose the wrong things. As time went on, they felt okay aboput what they were doing. It became tradition. And that allowed them to go the next step into error.

The temptation to treat any figure made of wood, iron or clay as an object of worship in a place of worship has to be tremendous.

When the word is read, it displaces that temptation. The word reminds those of Jesus and his sacrifice.

I don't expect anyone to do anything different by what I have just written, but the words I wrote I know are the truth.

Answer 3

Why is it that God is unable to communicate clearly enough for all Christians to understand the same thing. Or is Christianity just a took to control the masses and shear the sheep. Religion and Christianity particularly is big business.

Answer 4

that is sparkling that they are symbols of His body and blood from the context in which He reported that. Jesus replaced into status there in the front of them. It replaced into obtrusive to everybody who replaced into contained in the room that this replaced into no longer a literal fact on account that they could see the body of Jesus even once they ate the bread. Even the disciples knew that someone whose blood were drained does no longer be able to provide them something. To force that factor abode, He instructed the disciples that they could be ingesting the bread and ingesting the cup till He back in remembrance of Him. there replaced into no better factor out of the body and blood. And, there is not any factor out of something being replaced as Catholics trust.

Answer 5

That is not how the bible describe communion. I love my Catholic brothers and sisters, but I have to follow what I believe the bible says. When I stand before God I don't want to point to a priest and say he taught me wrong..

Answer 6

the true god does not want any sacrifices. he wants to help free you from the false god you worship. sacrifices are sick and demented.
jesus was not "sacrificed". he fled after telling his message

Answer 7

Lutherans believe in real presence, they don't believe in transubstantiation
