...I believe, but I could be wrong ...it was called the reformation


and the process that is believed to take place is transmortification

How does this edify anyone? Or are you just out to bolster your own ego?

Just to humor you, no one can.

Try reading John chapter 6 to the end. There, he explains what he meant.

The most repugnant thing to a Jew is to eat human flesh or drink human blood. There's more to the story than what you find on the surface. Or do you desire and insist on just being "shallow"?

I consecrate my wine at every dinner party. It is a pretty cool magic trick!

Mithraism was a religion in the Roman Empire in the 1st through 5th centuries A.D. It was very popular among the Romans, especially among Roman soldiers, and was possibly the religion of several Roman emperors. While Mithraism was never given “official” status in the Roman empire, it was the de-facto official religion until Constantine and succeeding Roman emperors replaced Mithraism with Christianity. One of the key features of Mithraism was a sacrificial meal, which involved eating the flesh and drinking the blood of a bull. Mithras, the god of Mithraism, was “present” in the flesh and blood of the bull, and when consumed, granted salvation to those who partook of the sacrificial meal (theophagy, the eating of one’s god). Mithraism also had seven “sacraments,” making the similarities between Mithraism and Roman Catholicism too many to ignore. Constantine and his successors found an easy substitute for the sacrificial meal of Mithraism in concept of the Lord’s Supper / Christian Communion. Sadly, some early Christians had already begun to attach mysticism to the Lord’s Supper, rejecting the Biblical concept of a simple and worshipful remembrance of Christ’s death and shed blood. The Romanization of the Lord’s Supper made the transition to a sacrificial consumption of Jesus Christ, now known as the Catholic Mass / Eucharist, complete.

As far as protestant christians go...it is symbolic. And like the guy above me, maybe you should practice what you preach, maybe that is the way that they feel like they can connect with their creator, it is not like they are eating the real thing.

Who are you to judge the ways of someone when you have no foundation on what you believe just a ..."just creat a relationship with the creator..."

they catholic church claim they give out sacriments that change when swallowed I do not belive it. the sacriments ( holy comunion) are symbolic of the body and blood of Jesus.

Stop while you can. God Bless and Jesus Christ is the only way to God and everlasting life.

Love is the answer...UnConditional Love !

Glad to see you practice what you preach.

Anyone ordained under the Apostolic succession of Peter can preside over the transubstantion.

For the people that wish to again try to make a connection to Mithraism I would request you read what true Mithranic scholars say about the comparision it is availble: Mithraic Studies: Proceedings of the First International Congress of Mithraic Studies. Manchester U. Press, 1975.

thier determination is that Christianity only copied art style from Mithraism, nothing else.

Mithra killed a bull and the sacrifical animal was actual bull meat as their holy meal. they never calimed transubstation or a sacrifice of Mithra or a real presence of Mithra. (so much is made up about Mithraism because there are only 600 fragments of writing on it. but scholars have been able to deduce the practices.)
