Are those Jesus biscuits the Catholics eat during mass communionism Kosher?

Question

Do they use leavening and if not can they be substituted for matzos during passover.

This will likely end up as an reported and deleted, but what the heck, It goes to Voting, more fun for everyone.

Answer 1

As a matter of fact yes!

Answer 2

Food must be blessed by a rabbi to be kosher. I doubt that a rabbi would bless the Communion wafers, so probably not.

No, they do not use leavening.

I never heard of Jews using communion wafers for matzo, and I can't imagine why anyone would want to. For starters, it wouldn't be pratical. They are much smaller than the matzos you buy in the store and don't taste as good. (I'm a practicing Catholic with Jewish family members, so I have tasted both communion wafers and matzo.)

Interestingly, did you know that Jesus's Last Supper was a Passover seder? The "bread" that he changed into his body was actually matzo. Since each Communion is a re-enactment of the Last Supper, the wafers are made flat so that they will look like matzo.

So even if your question was meant as a joke, there actually is a connection between communion wafers and matzo!

Answer 3

Luke 22:19; a million Cor. 11:24-25 - the translation of Jesus' words of consecration is "touto poieite tan eman anamnasin." Jesus actually stated "furnish this as my memorial sacrifice." The word “poiein” (do) refers to offering a sacrifice (see Exodus 29:38-39, the place God makes use of an identical word – poieseis – relating to the sacrifice of the lambs on the altar). The word “anamnesis” (remembrance) additionally refers to a sacrifice that's definitely or definitely made latest in time with the aid of the flexibility of God, because it reminds God of the definitely experience (see Heb. 10:3; Num. 10:10). it is not basically a memorial of a prior experience, yet a prior experience made latest in time. In different words, the “sacrifice” is the “memorial” or “reminder.” If the Eucharist weren’t a sacrifice, Luke might have used the word “mnemosunon” (that's the word used to describe a nonsacrificial memorial. See Matt. 26:13; Mark 14:9; and particularly Acts 10:4). So there are 2 memorials, one sacrificial (which Jesus instituted), and one non-sacrificial. Lev. 24:7 - the word "memorial" in Hebrew interior the sacrificial experience is "azkarah" intending to fully make latest (see Lev. 2:2,9,sixteen;5:12;6:5; Num.5:26 the place “azkarah” refers to sacrifices that are presently provided and as a effect latest in time). Jesus' guidance to furnish the bread and wine (which He replaced into His physique and blood) as a "memorial offering" demonstrates that the offering of His physique and blood is made latest in time back and back back.

Answer 4

The bread is unleavened. I'm not sure of the rules for Kosher.

The General Instruction of the Roman Missal, section 320 states:

The bread for celebrating the Eucharist must be made only from wheat, must be recently baked, and, according to the ancient tradition of the Latin Church, must be unleavened.

With love in Christ.

Answer 5

They are not Jesus biscuits, just communion wafers used by all Christian churches to celebrate the communion mass.

Yes, they are kosher, they can be substituted for matzos and they are unleavened.

Answer 6

The ones we eat can't be substituted, because they are no longer just wafers but the body of Christ.


edit - I gave Brianna's response a thumbs up, just because it was so funny it overwhelmed the disrespect.

Answer 7

It's communion, not communionism, and they are unleavened, but not Kosher (i.e. they are not prepared under the supervision of a rabbi.)

Answer 8

Brutally insensitive. I wonder if you'd feel so free to ask such a stupid question regarding other world religions. You need to rethink where the line is regarding a joke.

Answer 9

they are not biscuts, and they are not Kosher, and they cannot be substituted during passover. Sorry, thats just the way it is.

Answer 10

calling it a biscuit is simply pure ignorance being displayed.
