How are these the same thing? The Actual Death of Christ on the Cross 1. Jesus’ actual body was hung on the cross. 2. His death was in history outside Jerusalem once. 3. His actual body could not be eaten. 4. His body remained whole on the cross. 5. We have faith in his blood he shed on the cross. 6. Jesus offered Himself. 7. His dead body was not worshiped. 8. Christ died- i.e. his soul left his body. 9. Were his body dismembered each part would not be the whole Christ. 10. We glory in the cross. 11. Jesus called it his blood and then the fruit of the vine. 12. Jesus was worshiped in the body of his flesh. The Mysterious Mass 1. His body is under the accidents of the bread. 2. His death transcends time and occurs in all places at all times. 3. His body must be eaten. 4. His body is whole when broken into pieces. 5. Faith also, in wine that is his blood in substance. 6. Roman priests offer Jesus. 7. His body is worshiped under accident of bread. 8. His soul remains in his body when immolated. 9. Each crumb of bread is the whole Christ 10. They glory in the Roman altar. 11. The substance of wine transubstantiates into Jesus’ blood as the appearance of wine remains. 12. Bread is worshiped as Jesus.

1 Cor.2:2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. To eat his flesh & blood (Jn.6:27,47,54) is to seek & believe him to learn of him- Mt.11:29, Jn.5:39, 46-7, 6:29, 35, 40, 47 as Jesus lived by the Father- Jn.4:34, 6:38, 57, 7:17, 14:10-11 Eternal life in us by faith- 1 Jn.5:13, Jn.3:16, 36, 4:14, 5:24-39, 6:27, 40, 47, 54, 68, 12:50, 17:3, 10:27-8 We were not to literally eat blood- Lv.17:7,10,14, Gen.9:4 Doctrine is meat and drink- 1 Cor.3:1-2, Heb.5:12-14, Jeremiah 15:16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

It gives us in its teachings the preconditions needed to account for intelligibility and what we experience.

Jesus spoke parables: Jn.10:6,16:25,Ps.49:4,78:2, Prv.1:6, Ezk.17:2, Mt.13:9-13,35, Mk.4:11, 33-4 Which caused confusion: Jn.3:4, 6:34, 4:15, 10:6,19 Mt.26:26 “This is my body” as in ‘represents my body’ or is ‘like unto’ as we see in parabolic language: Lk.8:11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. The sower is Jesus. Mt.13:37-9 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; 38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; 39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. Lk.12:1...Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. See also 1 Cor.5:5-6. “like unto” Mt.13:33,44-5,47,52, 20:1, 22:2 Jesus is the Lamb of God- Jn.1:29, even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us 1 Cor.5:7 I am the door of the sheep- Jn.10:7, I am the good shepherd 10:11, I am the vine Jn.15:1, 5, I am the light of the world, Jn.8:12, I am the bread of life Jn.6:35, 48
