Question

Do the pr-otestants believe in the La-st su-pper?

Answer 1

You bet they do! Not only Protestasnts, but Catholics, too... they call it Holy Communion...

You probably heard the name of "SLAUGHTER HOUSE RELIGION" given to Christianity... actually ALL Christians need to EAT Jesus Christ in some way as part of the salvation package... A lot of these primitive silly and embarrassing Church dogmas are still carried on in a more private setting away from the TV cameras, but they still do it!

Jesus talked about eating his meat and drinking his blood for salvation from Eve’s original sin (John 6:53). Most of his Jewish followers wouldn’t stomach so much grossness and quit following him. Jesus later on softened up his rhetoric. Today, Christians snack on his meat and drink his blood in the Sacrament of the Holy Communion or “The LORD’s Supper” (Jesus is the meal)! Most Christians read the Bible as a Holy Duty without paying attention to what they read! There is more brutal violence in the Bible than in any TV show or in the movies. In the Bible God rewards people committing the most heinous crimes as long as they do it to further the cause of God! Islam copied the same idea from the Bible! God picks most of his Heroes based on their past criminal performance like Moses, David, and even Saint Paul, just to mention a few. All the Bible versions including the KING JAMES VERSION promote the killing of infants!

Psalm 137:8-9 (NIV) O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, happy is he who repays you for what you have done to us- he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.

The Bible teaches that the enemies of God ought to be killed in their infancy when it is easier to get rid of them! The Bible strategy of over 2,000 years ago was not abortion, but the killing of infants AFTER THEY ARE BORN and before they grow up and become a menace to God’s chosen people when not even God can help!  (Judges 1:19)

Revelation 2:23 (NIV) (Jesus says in his apocalyptic REVELATION for the last days) I WILL STRIKE HER CHILDREN DEAD* (*Just for the heck of it! No abortionist can beat Jesus at killing babies… AMEN???... This time it is Sweet Jesus killing the innocent children to announce his 2nd coming and at the same time to teach everybody in the Churches a lesson on WHO IS THE BOSS! In our society today Jesus Christ would be in jail for promoting the KILLING OF CHILDREN to favor a particular religion that’s why Christians are so selective in what they teach from the Bible! They came up with the PRO-LIFE bit on their own to dissociate themselves from this REVELATION…! And from the routine selective slaying of children in the Bible to please God) Then ALL THE CHURCHES WILL KNOW that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.* (*Not even the Mafia bosses measure up to Jesus!)

Jesus Christ suggested the slaughter by drowning of anybody causing a Christian who is weak in the Faith to stumble (Mat. 18:6). He also suggested the voluntary shedding of body parts (Mat 18:8), including male castration (Mat 19:12) to make it into the Kingdom of Heaven!  Most Christians today don’t pay attention to Jesus’ gory suggestions, but throughout the Christian dominated era many people paid with their lives for disobeying the Clergy, including “witches” and slaves that were abused and killed here in this America ONE NATION UNDER GOD! (Google “Salem witches”)  

JESUS CHRIST IS THE PERSON THAT CHRISTIANS NEED TO CANNIBALIZE IN A SNACK and de facto swallow in the Holy Communion... Spiritually speaking, of course! It takes years of Christian Bible schooling to learn how to do it just right or Christians can get real sick and die! Protestants have relaxed this pronouncement, but Catholics still believe that the host and wine is magically transformed into the ACTUAL meat and blood of Jesus so extraordinary measures are taken after Mass to monitor that no trace of the body of Jesus Christ is found in any spent chewing gum stuck under the church pews, and so on!  

1 Corinthians 1:29-30 (KJV) For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep* (*have died).

I’m getting a lot of email clarifying that The Bible is not to be taken literally, but I know of priests who are collecting the chewing gum from under the church pews for proper disposal in a show of love and devotion to the actual body of Jesus. They are dead serious and ought to be commended for their gullibility… Oops…! Sorry, Faith!

l-o-l

Answer 3

Yes-w-e d-o.

Answer 4

Yes, but they don't realize that this is the New Covenant set up for us by and through Christ our Lord, the true presence of Christ our Lord in the Holy Eucharist. They think the New Testament is the new covenant set up by Christ, they only believe the Last Supper was just that the Last Supper and during their communion service they believe it only to be a reminder of that fateful night, but Christ said "This is my Body, do this in re-memberance of Me" and when He took the cup He said "This is my Blood, the Blood of the New and Everlasting Covenant, this has been shed for the many for the forgiveness of sins, do this in re-memberance of Me" our new Covenant the Mass, not the Bible.

God bless you, good question!

Answer 5

They for get John 6 which came before the Last Super

Vs 54, "Whoever eats My flesh, and drinks My blood, has eternal life; and I will

raise him up on the last day." Did He say to eat the symbol of His flesh?

Vs 55, Jesus said, "For My flesh is meat indeed, and My blood is drink indeed."

Vs 56, Jesus said, "He that eats My flesh and drinks My blood dwells in Me, and I in him."

Did He say, 'He that eats a symbol of My flesh...'. How can a mere symbol fulfill this promise?

Does only a symbol of Christ dwell in us? I thought GOD Himself dwelt within us, 1John 4:12-13.

Vs 59, This verse shows that Jesus taught this discourse to all the people.

Vs 60, They doubt a third time when many disciples said, "This is a hard saying, who can hear it"? The Jews were instilled by many Old Testament verses, admonishing them not to consume blood.

See Deut 12:23, Lev 17:11and 14. They must have thought this was something akin to cannibalism.

Is this what you think too?

At any point did Jesus back down? Explain to me, if this chapter is symbolic, why did He not explain the symbolism to them?

Vs 61, Jesus did not back down, for He said, "Does this offend you?"

He knew their thoughts and He certainly knew the Old Testament verses about the consumption of blood.

In the next verse, He separated spiritual things from earthly things.

Vs 63*, Jesus said, "It is the spirit that quickens; the flesh profits nothing. The words I speak to you, they are spirit, and they are life."

Did He say He was speaking figuratively or in parables? This is the second verse detractors use to try to "prove" that Jesus spoke figuratively for the whole chapter. Did Jesus say "My" flesh? No, He said "the" flesh. What Jesus had said was, that we cannot accept this mystery if we accept it in too human a way, by having an earthly view of things. Those who can only think of cannibalism, are they not having an earthly view?

See John 3:6, "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." Verse 63 means that we should not have a carnal human understanding of His words, but a spiritual understanding.

In John, chapter 6, Jesus had not only called the 12 Apostles, there was also much larger group of other disciples. Things seemed to be going pretty well. That is until Jesus said “For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.” This was too much for many of his disciples and “From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.” Jesus turns to the 12 and asks, “Will ye also go away? Simon Peter gives the same answer that I find myself saying to those who tell me I should leave the Catholic Church for this reason or that one, “Lord, to whom shall we go?” No matter what a certain priest does, no matter what scandals hit the church, despite whatever corruption or abuse of power might exist, and despite whatever mistakes the Church has made throughout history, “to whom shall we go?” for here is the body and blood of Christ given for a sinner as miserable as I.

Matt. 26:26-28; Mark. 14:22,24; Luke 22;19-20; 1 Cor. 11:24-25 - Jesus says, this IS my body and blood. Jesus does not say, this is a symbol of my body and blood.

Matt. 26:26; Mark. 14:22; Luke 22:19-20 - the Greek phrase is "Touto estin to soma mou." This phraseology means "this is actually" or "this is really" my body and blood.

You do the math. If that's not enough...see:

John 6:4,11-14 - on the eve of the Passover, Jesus performs the miracle of multiplying the loaves. This was prophesied in the Old Testament (e.g., 2 Kings4:43), and foreshadows the infinite heavenly bread which is Him.

Matt. 14:19, 15:36; Mark 6:41, 8:6; Luke 9:16 - these passages are additional accounts of the multiplication miracles. This points to the Eucharist.

Matt. 16:12 - in this verse, Jesus explains His metaphorical use of the term "bread." In John 6, He eliminates any metaphorical possibilities.

John 6:4 - Jesus is in Capernaum on the eve of Passover, and the lambs are gathered to be slaughtered and eaten. Look what He says.

John 6:35,41,48,51 - Jesus says four times "I AM the bread from heaven." It is He, Himself, the eternal bread from heaven.

John 6:27,31,49 - there is a parallel between the manna in the desert which was physically consumed, and this "new" bread which must be consumed.

John 6:51-52- then Jesus says that the bread He is referring to is His flesh. The Jews take Him literally and immediately question such a teaching. How can this man give us His flesh to eat?

John 6:53 - 58 - Jesus does not correct their literal interpretation. Instead, Jesus eliminates any metaphorical interpretations by swearing an oath and being even more literal about eating His flesh. In fact, Jesus says four times we must eat His flesh and drink His blood. Catholics thus believe that Jesus makes present His body and blood in the sacrifice of the Mass. Protestants, if they are not going to become Catholic, can only argue that Jesus was somehow speaking symbolically.

John 6:23-53 - however, a symbolic interpretation is not plausible. Throughout these verses, the Greek text uses the word "phago" nine times. "Phago" literally means "to eat" or "physically consume." Like the Protestants of our day, the disciples take issue with Jesus' literal usage of "eat." So Jesus does what?

John 6:54, 56, 57, 58 - He uses an even more literal verb, translated as "trogo," which means to gnaw or chew or crunch. He increases the literalness and drives his message home. Jesus will literally give us His flesh and blood to eat. The word “trogo” is only used two other times in the New Testament (in Matt. 24:38 and John 13:18) and it always means to literally gnaw or chew meat. While “phago” might also have a spiritual application, "trogo" is never used metaphorically in Greek. So Protestants cannot find one verse in Scripture where "trogo" is used symbolically, and yet this must be their argument if they are going to deny the Catholic understanding of Jesus' words. Moreover, the Jews already knew Jesus was speaking literally even before Jesus used the word “trogo” when they said “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?” (John 6:52).

John 6:55 - to clarify further, Jesus says "For My Flesh is food indeed, and My Blood is drink indeed." This phrase can only be understood as being responsive to those who do not believe that Jesus' flesh is food indeed, and His blood is drink indeed. Further, Jesus uses the word which is translated as "sarx." "Sarx" means flesh (not "soma" which means body). See, for example, John 1:13,14; 3:6; 8:15; 17:2; Matt. 16:17; 19:5; 24:22; 26:41; Mark 10:8; 13:20; 14:38; and Luke 3:6; 24:39 which provides other examples in Scripture where "sarx" means flesh. It is always literal.

John 6:55 - further, the phrases "real" food and "real" drink use the word "alethes." "Alethes" means "really" or "truly," and would only be used if there were doubts concerning the reality of Jesus' flesh and blood as being food and drink. Thus, Jesus is emphasizing the miracle of His body and blood being actual food and drink.

John 6:60 - as are many anti-Catholics today, Jesus' disciples are scandalized by these words. They even ask, "Who can 'listen' to it (much less understand it)?" To the unillumined mind, it seems grotesque.

John 6:61-63 - Jesus acknowledges their disgust. Jesus' use of the phrase "the spirit gives life" means the disciples need supernatural faith, not logic, to understand His words.

John 3:6 - Jesus often used the comparison of "spirit versus flesh" to teach about the necessity of possessing supernatural faith versus a natural understanding. In Mark 14:38 Jesus also uses the "spirit/flesh" comparison. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. We must go beyond the natural to understand the supernatural. In 1 Cor. 2:14,3:3; Rom 8:5; and Gal. 5:17, Paul also uses the "spirit/flesh" comparison to teach that unspiritual people are not receiving the gift of faith. They are still "in the flesh."

John 6:63 - Protestants often argue that Jesus' use of the phrase "the spirit gives life" shows that Jesus was only speaking symbolically. However, Protestants must explain why there is not one place in Scripture where "spirit" means "symbolic." As we have seen, the use of "spirit" relates to supernatural faith. What words are spirit and life? The words that we must eat Jesus' flesh and drink His blood, or we have no life in us.

John 6:66-67 - many disciples leave Jesus, rejecting this literal interpretation that we must eat His flesh and drink His blood. At this point, these disciples really thought Jesus had lost His mind. If they were wrong about the literal interpretation, why wouldn't Jesus, the Great Teacher, have corrected them? Why didn't Jesus say, "Hey, come back here, I was only speaking symbolically!"? Because they understood correctly.

Mark 4:34 - Jesus always explained to His disciples the real meanings of His teachings. He never would have let them go away with a false impression, most especially in regard to a question about eternal salvation.

John 6:37 - Jesus says He would not drive those away from Him. They understood Him correctly but would not believe.

John 3:5,11; Matt. 16:11-12 - here are some examples of Jes

Answer 6

Yes we do. I don't know why you've hyphenated the words... it's not offensive!

Answer 7

Yes we do.

Jesus said,"Do this in remembrance of Me." 1 Corinthians 11:24.

We don't believe a priest changes the bread and wine into the literal blood and body of Jesus.

Answer 8

Absolutely. The Bible describes it in detail.  

Answer 9

Not quite sure if they do. Most don`t seem to realize that the famous last supper painting is not correct in the number of people participating. It shows 12 ,there was, according to scripture only 11 present when jesus celebrated the last passover meal. We need to make sure that what we are taught is really Bible based  .
