Bible Question:
dear ones, roman catholic doctrine teaches that in their mass, the wafer and wine that they call the eucharist turn into the literal body and blood when the priest blesses and offers them. further they teach that this constitutes the renewal of Christ's sacrafice daily. in light of the following list of scriptures would anyone be able to straighten them or myself out? John 2:1 to 11; Luke 22: 19 and 20; Hebrews 10; 11 to 18. |
Bible Answer: Please bear in mind that the answer to this question cannot be settled here, for it has boggled greater spiritual minds than ours. The Protestant churches have mostly all stood in disagreement with the Catholic church over this for centuries. Within the Protestant movement, though, Martin Luther stood in violent opposition to john Calvin over this very issue, and to this day the "Lutheran" churches practice communion in a manner that is very similar to that of the Catholic church. If this issue is of great concern to you, then perhaps it is the Holy Spirt using this issue to lead you into another denomination in which your beliefs would align more accurately with the church where you worship, thus allowing you to serve God more fully. Pray on it and seek God's wisdom. God bless. |
