>>14182461>How is the living presence of Christ in the eucharist not idolatry?The Bible teaches that upon hearing Our Lord's claim about the Holy Eucharist, many of his followers became Protestors or Protestants.
John 6, 52: The Judeans therefore strove among themselves, saying, how can this man give us his flesh to eat?
The Bible teaches that in spite of the Judeans' most strenuous objections-Christ did not correct or modify his statement (which he would have done had there been a misunderstanding); but insisted the more upon the reality of his presence in the Eucharist.
John 6, 53: Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 54. Whoso eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 55. For my flesh is meat indeed, and by blood is drink indeed. 56. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood dwelleth in me, and I in him. 57. As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father; so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. 58. This is that bread which came down from heaven; not as your fathers did eat manna and are dead; he that eateth of this bread shall live forever.
