Answer 2

The best place to get quick bible references is www.biblegateway.com, if you click 'topical index' at the side and type in the 'eucharist' you'll get passages related to the topic from the bible.
I just found,
Matthew 26:17-30; Mark 14:22-24; Luke 13:26; Luke 22:19; Luke 22:20; John 1
Which you can also type into biblegateway to get the quote.

Answer 3

Mark 14:22 is an example:
'And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake (it), and gave to them, and said "Take eat: this is my body."
Luke 22:19 is similar adding "this do in remembrance of me."
Other references: Luke 24:30,35; John 6:32; Acts 2:42,46; 20:11; 27:35; 1 Corinthians 10:16,17; 11 :23,26,27,28.
I hope these are useful.
There are a number of places to look on-line for these references.

Answer 4

It was the custom to come together on Sundays for a fellowship ("agape") meal presided over by the community overseer (episcopos). It was understood to be a sharing in the Last Supper. There were sometimes problems.

1 Corinthians 11:20-22: "When you come together, it is not the Lord's Supper you eat, for as you eat, each of you goes ahead without waiting for anybody else. One remains hungry, another gets drunk. Don't you have homes to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you for this? Certainly not!"

Answer 5

The phrase do this in remembrance of me was told only to the 12 apostles at the last supper, it was meant for only the 12.
The bread is the Words Jesus spoke, not bread you eat, the Words of God is food for your spirit, not the body.
The Word of God was made flesh, and dwelt among us.
To eat the flesh of Jesus is to be filled with the Word of God, the TRUE bread from heaven,
for Moses gave you not that bread (words) from heaven, but My Father giveth you the TRUE BREAD from heaven
For the laws were given by Moses but grace and TRUTH came by Jesus the Christ.

The early church was to be a Spiritual Church a Church that Jesus made for His Father to dwell in, in 3 days, it is not a physical church, for Jesus said sell all that you have and give it to the poor, Jesus did not say to make a physcial church and give it to the church. As spoke by Jesus money is mammon and a camel has a better chance of fitting through the eye of a needle than a rich man getting into heaven.

Six hundred threescore and six is associated with Solomon's temple, the trhone of Satan, and the name of the man is Moses. For he founded the Jewish religion, and his God was Satan.

Answer 6

See First Corinthians chapter 11.

This is what the RCC Catechism teaches about the Mass:

Catechism teaches: (paragraph numbers)

Originated in 9th century by Radbertus

Declared mandatory in the 11th century, under the penalty of mortal sin (2192)

Mass is identical to sacrifice of the cross (1367)

Mass is a bloodless sacrifice for sins (1382)

The altar is where Jesus is sacrificed (1383)

Redemption is carried out by the mass (1364)

Sacrifice is offered for souls in purgatory (1371)

The Bible teaches:

The sacrifice of Jesus made purification for all sins for all time (Heb. 1:3, 7:27)

Jesus obtained eternal redemption through His blood for all time (Heb. 9:12)

Jesus put away sin with His one time sacrifice (Heb. 9:25-28)

Jesus died once for all time (Heb. 10:10-12)

Christians are to offer sacrifice of praise (Heb. 13:15)

Jesus instructed to make disciples but did not mention sacrifice or mass (Matt. 28:19)

The sacrifice of Jesus perfected Christians for all time (Heb. 10:14)

Sacrifices are no longer necessary when sins are paid for by the blood of Jesus (Heb. 10:18)

The idea of a mass is contradictory to the doctrine that Christ’s sacrifice was sufficient for all time. Once again we see the doctrine stating that what Jesus has done wasn’t good enough. Masses (whether votive for souls in purgatory, requiem for funeral, nuptial for marriage) are a great source of income for the roman church.

Answer 7

A study of the Lord’s Supper is a soul-stirring experience because of the depth of meaning that it portrays. It was during the age-old celebration of the Passover on the eve of His death that Jesus instituted a new significant fellowship meal that we observe to this day, and is the highest expression of Christian worship. It is an “acted out sermon,” remembering our Lord’s death and resurrection, and looking to the future for His return in glory.

The Passover was the most sacred feast of the Jewish religious year. It commemorated the final plague on Egypt when the firstborn of the Egyptians died and the Israelites were spared because the blood of a lamb was sprinkled on their doorposts. The lamb then was roasted and eaten with unleavened bread. God’s command was that throughout the generations to come the feast would be celebrated. The story is recorded in Exodus 12.

During the celebration, Jesus and the disciples sang together one or more of the Hallel Psalms (Psalms 111 – 118). Jesus, taking a loaf of bread, gave thanks to God. As He broke it and gave it to them, He said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you.” In the same way He took the cup, and when He had supped and gave the cup to them, they drank of it. He said, “This cup is the New Covenant in My blood; do this whenever you drink of it in remembrance of Me.” He concluded the feast by singing a hymn and they went out into the night to the Mount of Olives. It was there that Jesus was betrayed, as predicted, by Judas. The following day He was crucified.

The accounts of the Lord’s Supper are found in the Gospels in Matthew 26:26-29, Mark 14:17-25, Luke 22:7-22, and John 13:21-30. The Apostle Paul wrote concerning the Lord’s Supper by divine revelation in 1 Corinthians 11:23-29. (This was because Paul was not, of course, in the upper room at its institution.) Paul includes a statement not found in the Gospels: “Whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. A man ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body of the Lord eats and drinks judgment on himself” (11:27-29). We may ask what it means to partake of the bread and the cup “in an unworthy manner.” It may mean to disregard the true meaning of the bread and cup, and forgetting the tremendous price our Savior paid for our salvation. Or it may mean to allow the ceremony to become a dead and formal ritual, or to come to the Table with unconfessed sin. In keeping with Paul’s instruction, each should examine himself before eating of the bread and drinking of the cup so as to heed the warning.

Another statement Paul made that is not included in the Gospels is “For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes” (11:26). This places a time limit on the ceremony – until our Lord’s return. From these brief accounts we learn how Jesus used two of the frailest of elements as symbols of His body and blood, and initiated them to be a monument to His death. It was not a monument of carved marble or molded brass, but of bread and grape juice.

He declared that the bread spoke of His body which would be broken – there was not a broken bone, but His body was so badly broken that it was hardly recognizable (Psalm 22:12-17, Isaiah 53:4-7). The grape juice spoke of His blood, indicating the terrible death He would soon experience. He, the perfect Son of God, became the fulfillment of the countless Old Testament prophecies concerning a Redeemer (Genesis 3:15, Psalm 22, Isaiah 53, etc.) When He said, “This do in remembrance of Me,” He indicated this was a ceremony that must be continued in the future. It indicated also that the Passover, which required the death of a lamb and looked forward to the coming of the Lamb of God who would take away the sin of the world, was now obsolete. The New Covenant took its place when Christ, the Passover Lamb (1 Corinthians 5:7), was sacrificed (Hebrews 8:8-13). The sacrificial system was no longer needed (Hebrews 9:25-28).

Catholics are not saved and are not Christians. Catholics believe a false gospel of works that leads to eternal hell (Galatians 1).

Bible teachers that said the Vatican and the catholic cult are an antichrist: John Bunyan, John Huss, John Wycliffe, John Calvin, William Tyndale, John Knox, Thomas Bacon, John Wesley, Charles Spurgeon, Samuel Cooper, John Cotton, and Jonathan Edwards
