Symbolic food: Christians have the sacrament as symbolic food. What would be your spiritual food?

Answer 1

Milk products.

Answer 2

B.S.! The Blessed Sacrament is not symbolic, it is real. So-called christians consider it a symbolic sacrament, but they have been backwards since the reformation. No, the sacrament is real, and it does really, truly, and honestly become a part of the body of Christ.

This is also why those who are not cleansed of their mortal sins are forbidden from receiving it. That would be sacrilage. To recieve the holy host without first cleaning the vessel it must enter is like asking a president or king, or whomever you look so highly upon, to enter your house when it is literally covered in feces and all sorts of foul things. It is just not done. But then, for those who truly honour the sacrifice of the mass, they can understand this, and why it is not just a piece of bread or a cracker. Nor is it just wine, or juice. During the sacrifice of the mass, the bread and the wine are trasformed once again, as had been done over two-thousand years ago, into the body and blood of the lord Jesus the Christ.


This is not merely symbolic, no. And that it is where the protestants have got it all wrong. Strangley, though. It seems that all of people to recognize the signifance of this, it would have to be the satanists. The only ones who adimt to being the church's protagonists.

Answer 3

For some Christians (such as Lutherans, of which I am one), the sacrament is much more than a symbolic food. It is a means of grace where Christ actually comes to us in, with and under the visible elements. It is a visible sign of the covenant God has made with us.

Many protestant Christians claim that it is merely a symbolic food, but some of us consider it to be more than that.

Answer 4

My sacrament, so to speak, is the conversations that I am able to have with my fellow humans and the rest of life on this earth. These conversations are my 'food for thought' about life. Should you see me and recognize me then I am here and you are, therefore, my creator. Should you choose to speak with me, the information that you pass along was meant to be a part of my life. What others speak is important to me. Relationship with others is the plate that we all stand on, and the food on that plate (what we dish out to others) is our communications (our sacrament or offering) with those we are relating to; and that right now is you.
When we listen to the communications of others, we are taking in their words, as the catholics take in a part of Christ with their sacrament.
Wonderful question

Answer 5

I guess it's less what it is and more the quantity. There has to be enough to share.

My personal favourite is pizza with some olives and a bottle of wine alongside, but really a bowl of pasta, a loaf of bread and some cheese, or even just a bag of chips would do.

It's the company that does it for me really. Though when I'm on my own on a sunny day a cappuccino is pretty good!

Answer 6

There are 7 sacraments some involve water, oil, wine or wheat most are blessings, only one is about food for the soul.

Answer 7

Shrimp-spaghetti. Since I am a pirate and support the FSM (pbuh) and shrimp being an abomination according to the bible. That is my anti-sacrament symbolic food of choice.

Answer 8

God is enlightened by his word {light}, light has always been the true spiritual food, but of course this means that the person eating must become God and this seems to be an embarrassment to most because of unworthy teachers. Have some tea? *sip*

Answer 9

Cheesecake. This would be symbolic of The Golden Girls and the wise stories of Sophia and Rose.

or

Spaghetti with meatballs. In honor of our creator, The Flying Spaghetti Monster.

RAmen!

Answer 10

Heathens use mead, preferably home-brewed, for sacramental purposes . . . it can be considered symbolic, since the original sacrifices in our folkways tended to be feast animals---or defeated enemies and their weapons, in the Cult of Odhinn. :-)

Our true "spiritual food," though, is community.

Answer 11

Everything we eat is an example of interdependency. Every morsel is a direct example of sacrifice of something. When we eat we are connecting back to the source just as in the way a baby reconnects to it's mother upon sucking her breast.
