The whole blood & flesh thing...

Personally, without having read anything on the subject, I'd say it's symbolic cannibalism. The point of much real cannibalism is that the eater of someone else's flesh receives some benefit from it such as the strength of the person eaten, etc. See the point?

it quite is previous reason to contemplate communion an act of cannibalism. it quite is a holy sacrament that represents the remembrance of Jesus and his existence and sacrifice and is an honor we provide to him. because of the fact that even while Jesus had first communion together with his disciples the bread and wine have been seen only symbolic and no person certainly ate a individual, i do no longer see that it could ever characterize cannibalism.

That's what the Jews thought when Jesus said what he did.
They thought he was being literal. Actually eating flesh and drinking blood.
But it was symbolic.
to appreciate that Jesus sacrificed his fleshly body as a RANSOM sacrifice to buy back for us the right to again live without death.
Adam, through disobedience caused us to suffer death. Jesus bought it back for us.
(Revelation 21:4) And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
Nothing we do could earn this benefit.
Communion is a Catholic tradition . The bread and wine ceremony should only take place yearly. And then be partaken only by the anointed. And only they know who they are.

No that's more like Christians eating the flesh and drinking the blood of Jesus.

No. It's symbolic of sharing in Christ's life and death, kind of like baptism, except that baptism is a one-time thing and communion is on-going. Hense, with communion we are told "This do, so oft as ye do it, in rememberance of Me." It's about remembering why Christ came to earth in the first place, His life and His teaching, His sacrifice for our sins, and the fact that He lives still, and is coming back for us.

No, cannibalism is synonymous with eating physical food.
Jesus is spiritual food.
That's the best answer I can come up with at 2 forty tres in the morn.

You make about as much sense as a vegetarian cannibal.

Its only cannibalism if Jesus were human. But if he's God, its not.

It is but only if you are eating the son of god.
