My last question on the Holy Eucharist. The next series of questions will be on the Sacrament of Reconciliation. A controversial topic. For those who disagree with this Catholic doctrine here's your chance to question this doctrine.

Where does it say in the Bible that the Lord's Supper is symbolic?

Other Christian churches besides the Catholic, Orthodox and Lutheran also celebrate the Lord's supper. I respect your opinion but this series is still inter-faith because we are sharing and comparing our beliefs about this teaching. In fact, Jews can participate in this question because they also have sacrificial offerings. You are just being biased. Peace!

On second thought why don't you tell us what you believe in? I think that would be nice.
Peace and blessings!

Yes it is. "Showing forth His death" - when Christ said do this in "remembrance of me" - the Greek word weakly translated as "remembrance" is "anamnesis" - much more that a mere "remembering".
We believe Christ is really present - called through space and time to be REALLY with us on the altar.
It is a true Sacrifice...but it is NOT another or NEW Sacrifice. That happened once on Golgotha. We are participating, with Christ, as we "re-present" (nor "represent") Christ's Death, as he does continually before the Father in Heaven, where He sits at His Right Hand.

I am very sorry. It has been such a long time since I was a catholic, I have no idea what the eucharist is anymore and I wonder how many people of other faiths know what it is. So I need to ask you again, is this really an inter-faith question or is it just about your faith and your beliefs? I would like to take this space to share with you MY beliefs and my faith since this is supposed to be inter-faith. I believe in God. I believe that God has many paths to him and they are not all the same path. I don't believe God is responsible for writing the bible and I don't believe Jesus was God. I believe we have many lives/ Yes reincarnation. We have this so that we can experience every experience there is and this happens so that we evolve spiritually and come closer to God. So where as your experience of being a christian is your path to God in this life is completely valid, so is mine. But I would like to point out that by being part of a specific religion, you are limiting your own spiritual growth because you are limiting your perspective and experience. I really feel your time would be better used actually connecting with others and seeing what their experience is like instead of just promoting your own agenda. This is my faith. Thank you so much for letting me be included! To you I would like to say Namaste.
PS I realized just ridiculing you served no purpose. I apologize for that. I still think you have alot to consider.

For Above
Matthew 9:13
When we have a change in the heart, a change in the mind we do not see what we give up to follow Christ as a sacrifice.
Hebrews 10:10-12
This letter was written to the Hebrews and explained the vanity of the Hebraic Priest in the continual sacrifice of animals. Hebrews can be thought of a fiery tract written by a former Pharisee - Paul.

1 Corinthians 11:26 For as often as you shall eat this bread, and drink the chalice, you shall shew the death of the Lord, until he come.
shew - proclaim or make known
We publicly or privately announce or declare Christ.
It is important to remind ourselves of Christ's sacrifice and as He gave so should we too be willing. Many first century Christians gave their lives as a testimony and living witnesses of Jesus, should we today be willing to do any less?

So if I understand it right, Jesus is crucified every Sunday for this mass? the Lord's supper is definitely symbolic.
