Yes, the Eucharist Really Is Jesus! (w/ Joe Heschmeyer) 

The swim back across the Tiber is even easier. :)

Pray and fast, brother. Try to earnestly understand why faithful Catholic's see Jesus in the Eucharist as the source and summit of the Christian faith. Then, allow yourself to long for communion with Christ.

That’s a great comparison! I couldn’t agree more. Thanks for watching!

Gods word is only complex to the flesh and not the Spirit

@@TheCordialCatholic As a full time Protestant evangelist, who grew up a Catholic but has a pull back to the Catholic Church, I find your podcasts and interviews really engaging and informative. They bless me greatly and leave me wondering what I now have to do!

Indeed!

Thank your for your insight! How long were you practicing in that tradition?

Love it.

LOL. LOVE THIS! Thanks for watching.

Awesome!

Thanks for sharing!

Amen

Well, John Calvin could not understand, nor can we. This is one of the very few things that we must believe by Faith in Our Lord: He said "this is My body", thus it must be. As is said on the mass, misterium fidei.

Yes! Thanks for watching!

Exo 15:2 The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him. Luk 2:30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, Luk 2:31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; Luk 2:32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. Luk 2:33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him. Luk 2:34 And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;

when the Jews were asked by God to paint their entrance with the blood of their sacrifice so the angel of death will not enter their homes. The blood saved the Jews from death as Christ's blood in the Eucharist will save us from hell.

@@user-wo2kr1gu1c Is that not part of the Mosaic covenant?

I'm sorry you feel that way. I try to keep them at every 10 minutes or more but I need to pay the bills somehow, brother!

That’s an awful misconception of the Eucharist. Fist century Jews (the MAIN intended audience Christ was working with) did not view the Passover as just some dinner party that had to be done yearly. It was a participation in the very same Passover Moses first helped institute, so that death could pass them over. It was necessary to participate in that event, to make that first Passover present and real and every year. It is ludicrous to think that it was done as a reminder, or for the event to carry such importance if it was only a reminder. It was a very real event that made present that very sacrifice that Moses helped institute. Death is definitely passing them again and again. Just as the Passover is a very real event, so too is the Eucharist. We re-present the EXACT same sacrifice that Christ made for us at the last supper and at his death at Golgotha, and made real and satisfactory upon his resurrection. You have a terrible misconception that simply dying in the cross was it. It wasn’t. Simply dying on the cross is an execution, the martyrdom of a “man.” No, Christ ALSO rose from the dead. But going back a little once more, ALL sacrifices were necessarily performed in Jerusalem, at the temple. But Christ did have the last supper in Jerusalem. The sacrifice of the Lamb didn’t simply happen on Calvary. Otherwise that would have been an execution. No, the sacrifice of The Lamb was started at the Last Supper. And per the Passover, the sacrificed lamb MUST BE CONSUMED, not looked at. If we are to call Jesus, The Lamb of God, he MUST BE CONSUMED. The Eucharist isn’t just a reminder of what Christ instituted at the Last Supper, but a very real event we remember by PARTICIPATING in it at every mass. Through the power of the Holy Spirit the words of invocation the priest says at mass makes the events of The Last Supper ever present and real right then and there. The only “difference” is we have a means to have new people participate, new bread and wine to offer to become the accidents for the Body and Blood of Christ Jesus. The Eucharist is Heaven on Earth. Christ knows we are fallible creatures. And as such He knew we needed to repent over and over and over again. He also knew we would need to receive Him over and over again because we are beings drawn to sin. If you still don’t accept what Christ instituted in the Eucharist, then I suppose we disagree. But please correct the error of your misconception about the Eucharist. We know Christ’s sacrifice was once for all time, sufficient for us all, because we participate in that same moment. If you still don’t accept that truth, at least you know the Catholic Church, who put together the Bible you love, believes the Scriptures to be true.

what a moronic thing to say

Interesting interpretation. Is it infallible?

No one agreed with you on this until the 16th century.

Ok.

@@TheCordialCatholic ok what?

@@richardjackson7887Bro we all love Sacred Scripture but what exactly is your point?

@@wordforever117 you are what you eat! you eat flesh you are a cannibal and not only guilty of murder but continually murdering the son of God who only had to die once. you gain no wisdom but eternal death by taking the wide gate and broad way you eat his word you gain wisdom and eternal life by taking the strait gate and narrow way. if you truly loved sacred scripture you would stick to it and not sinful mans word! Act_4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Act 16:30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? Act 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. Rom_5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. Rom_5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. Rom_9:27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved: Jer_7:24 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward. Jer_11:8 Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do; but they did them not. Jer_18:12 And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart. Psa_10:3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth. Pro 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Pro_21:4 An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin. Jer_17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Mat_13:19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. Luk 8:12 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. 2Co 4:2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. 2Co 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: Rom_10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 2Th_2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 1Pe_4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

@@wordforever117 don't you get it! Jesus warned of the universal church and others taking the wide gate. Mat 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Mat 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

You don't get it. It's the same sacrifice.

You're following a man-made tradition you yourself invented.

@@fantasia55 sure. When you can't defend what YOU believe you have to make the same accusation.

​@@rbnmnt3341Christians throughout the first fifteen centuries AD were unanimously opposed to that Protestant's opinion.

@@fantasia55 read church history and you will find quotes from your own church fathers that didn't agree with such things as the immaculate conception, Mary's sinlessness. Your apologists purposely hide those quotes for obvious reasons. I'm talking about Aquinas, Ambrose, Clement and others. Even some popes. There was a time when they were believed to be heresies. So from a belief to a heresy to a dogma. This sure are biblical aren't they?
