Dear Catholics,

Why do you believe that the “Eucharist” means to receive the actual body and blood of Christ Jesus?

The word "eucharist" comes from the Greek ϵυχαριστια (eucharistia), which breaks down into ϵυ (eu-, meaning "good") and χαρισ (charis, meaning "grace" or "favour"), meaning "thanksgiving" or "gratitude." The Latin merely adopted the Greek term directly. 

You have been told that during the “Eucharistic” prayer, the bread and wine miraculously turn into the body and blood of Christ Jesus and that by consuming the “Eucharistic” elements, Jesus enters your earthen vessel.

Is it not ironic that Satan entered Judas at the Last Supper? This happened immediately after Jesus had given him the bread and wine. So this means that immediately after Judas partook of the very first so-called “Eucharist,” “Then entered Satan into Judas” (Luke 22:3).

Did Judas receive Jesus and Satan at the same time?!?

Satan did not enter Judas by him consuming the body and blood of Satan, because Satan is a spirit.

The “Eucharist,” properly called the Lord's Supper or the Breaking of Bread or Koinonia (Fellowship; translated into Latin as Communion) or Agape Feast, symbolically represents the body and blood of Christ Jesus, as a remembrance of His sacrifice. It is not a re-sacrificing of Jesus (Heb. 7:27; 9:24-28; 10:10-14; 1 Pet. 3:18; Rom. 6:10). Jesus is not up in Heaven being repeatedly offered for sins, and you are not down here being repeatedly forgiven. There is no second act; there will be no encore. You were forgiven once for all your sins—past, present, and future!

The "Eucharist" is not a "reunion with the body of Christ" because you are "one spirit with [the Lord]" (1 Cor. 6:17) through your union with Him, which occurred at salvation, if indeed you have been saved and transformed by Him.

Baptism and the Lord's Supper are not "sacraments"! Learn what a sacrament is and where it originates: https://bereansdesk.blogspot.com/2025/10/lords-supper-and-baptism-not-sacraments.html
