Making a proper christian offering(catholic) and not using cannibal tactics in eating the body of christ?

Question

The old way of christianity (catholic).The Alter and prepartions involved in making an offering to GOD as beast or animal are selected from the herd then carved up in a way that parts of the animal are cooked for the alter and fat is burned then sprinkling of the alter.Then food from the alter is eaten by the priest and holy men .The Tabernackle is also in place in another part of the tent or church .To follow the right way to make an offering .Eating human flesh and drinking blood in spirit or in real life is wrong and is called cannibalism .I will not eat a human being in spirit or in real life as a real offering to god as in sharing the bounty of fruitfullness is greater .In think the church has to go back to the old offerings.Even Jesus Christ made offerings this way.Why eat Jesus Christ.Did Herod introduce this Eating of Jesus Christ ?THis is also a political question.Every time you eat and drink christ in spirit you kill him.?

Just remember the devil even hides in the bible with showning the wrong teachings of offerings.

Answer 1

Pastor Billy asks: where is the question? You are preaching try asking something instead. The original Christian offering is........Jesus Christ period. The Christian eucharist (thanksgiving) is the correct communion of Christianity. The Tabernackle is only found today in the OneHolyApostolicCatholic Church.

Answer 2

The Catholic Church believes in the real presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist since Christ Himself taught this to us. Read John chapter 6 and the Catechism if you don't believe me. You cannot count yourself as Catholic if you do not believe in the real presence. The reason why we do not practice the old testament versions of animal sacrifice is because Jesus replaced all of that with the sacrifice of Himself. In doing so, the passover tradition is changed from the consumption of animals (which were a sort of temporary offering until Jesus came) to the consumption of our Lord which He gave us at the last supper, the Holy Eucharist. This is biblical teaching. When you ask to go back to the old Jewish way, you nearly ask for Christ's sacrifice to be for nothing.

Answer 3

At the Last Supper, Jesus said, “Take this bread. It is my body.” Then he said, “Take this and drink. This is my blood. Do this in memory of me.”

Catholics believe this was the First Eucharist, that through a miracle the bread and wine actually became the body and blood of Jesus Christ.

Catholics reenact the Last Supper during every Mass, where God, acting through the priest, changes the bread and wine into the body and blood of Jesus Christ.

This is a great sacrament of thanksgiving and unity of Catholics.

With love in Christ.

Answer 4

What a Blessed question you have posed. I see the physique of Christ as a non secular physique of Bleievers interior the be conscious working in unison for God's Will. regardless of the reality that for the time of that Divine state i would be a spleen, i'm humbled to be in Christ.

Answer 5

uh...no where in the Bible does it say the bread turns in to the body of Christ. It does say that bread MEANS the body of Christ or REPRESENTS the body of Christ. It meant to remind people of the sacrifice Christ made for us.

Answer 6

The offering is only a symbolic celebration of the Last Supper and it is not cannibalism.

Answer 7

I understand what you are saying... Christ says in the Bible, '... this is my body... this is my blood you drink...'

The part you are forgetting is the next sentence, '... so that you would remember me when you eat and drink...'

So you see, it's not that he really means you are pretending to eat him. He is saying that he is giving you food and drink and to remember that when you eat... to be thankful.

Answer 8

Most non-Catholics do not realize it, but Christ Himself offered the first Mass at the Last Supper. At the Last Supper He offered (sacrificed) Himself to His Father in an unbloody manner, that is, under the form of bread and wine, in anticipation of His bloody sacrifice on the cross to be offered on the following day, Good Friday. In the Mass, not now by anticipation, but rather in retrospect, Christ continues to make that offering of Himself to His Father – by the hands of the priest. "And whilst they were at supper, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke: and gave to his disciples, and said: Take ye, and eat. This is my body. And taking the chalice, he gave thanks, and gave to them, saying: Drink ye all of this. For this is my blood of the new testament, which shall be shed for many unto remission of sins." (Matt. 26:26-28).

Christ ordered His Church to perpetuate that sacrificial rite for the continued sanctification of His followers, saying, "Do this for a commemoration of me" (Luke 22:19) – so the Catholic Church complies with His order in the Mass.
In other words, every Mass is a re-enactment of Our Lord's one sacrifice of Calvary. The Mass derives all its value from the Sacrifice of the Cross; the Mass is that same sacrifice, not another. It is not essentially a sacrifice offered by men (although men also join in), but rather it is the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

Christ's bloody sacrifice on Calvary was accomplished "once" (Heb. 10:10), just as Scripture says. The Catholic Church likewise teaches that the sacrifice of the Cross was a complete and perfect sacrifice – offered "once." But the Apostle Paul – the same Apostle who wrote this text in the book of Hebrews – also bears witness that the sacrificial rite which Christ instituted at the Last Supper is to be perpetuated – and that it is not only important for man's sanctification, but is the principal factor in man's final redemption. In 1 Corinthians 11:23-26, St. Paul tells how, at the Last Supper, Our Lord said: "This do ye, as often as you shall drink, for the commemoration of me. For as often as you shall eat this bread, and drink the chalice, you shall show the death of the Lord, until he come." Thus at every Mass the Christian has a new opportunity to worship God with this one perfect sacrifice and to "absorb" more of Christ's saving and sanctifying grace of Calvary. This grace is infinite, and the Christian should continuously grow in this grace until his death. The reason the Mass is offered again and again is not from any imperfection in Christ, but from our imperfect capacity to receive.

Finally, the holy sacrifice of the Mass fulfills the Old Testament prophecy: "For from the rising of the sun even to the going down, my name is great among the Gentiles, and in every place there is sacrifice, and there is offered to my name a clean oblation: for my name is great among the Gentiles, saith the Lord of hosts." (Mal. 1:11). The Sacrifice of the Mass is offered every day throughout the world, and in every Mass the only truly "clean oblation" is offered, that is, Christ Himself; thus the Mass is the perfect fulfillment of this prophecy.

Catholics believe that their Holy Communion, the Blessed Eucharist, is the actual Flesh and Blood of Jesus Christ, because that is what Christ said It was: "This is my body . . . This is my blood" (Matt. 26:26-28; see also Luke 22:19-20 and Mark 14:22-24); because that is what Christ said they must receive in order to have eternal life: "... Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you . . ." (John 6:48-52; 54-56); and because that is what the Apostles believed: "The chalice of benediction, which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? And the bread, which we break, is it not the partaking of the body of the Lord?" (1 Cor. 10:16). "Therefore whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord. But let a man prove himself: and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of the chalice. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord." (1 Cor. 11:27-29).

Also, Catholics believe that Holy Communion is the actual Flesh and Blood of Jesus Christ because that is what all Christians believed until the advent of Protestantism in the 16th century.
