Catholics - If the Eucharist is the "true" literal blood of Christ, why taste Grape Juice?
His blood is not really
Do not drink blood eww
It simply means that the blood of Jesus washes us clean of sin
Actually we do not wash
It is symbolic
And the Eucharist is the bread or crackers anyway
they are for the body
eww not eat meat
only stand for the body that was broken for our sins
some poeple break
but its only symbolic
- Do Catholics believe the Eucharist is truly the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ?

Another member has already mentioned seeking the meaning of transubstantion won `t bother to repeat it, however like the divinty of Jesus in his humanity is hidden and so beyond our comprehension so is the reality of Christ is really present in the Eucharist under the appearance of bread and wine.
When the priest conducts the Mass during the consecration the bread and wine do not change in appearance, and remain as they are to the human eye, but faith tells us that Jesus is really and truly present.
Yet it seems that also:) but this site explains why. I hope that helps.
Transubstantiation. Look.
Would you prefer that tested the blood?
Edit: The fundamentalists are far more literal in the Bible that the Catholics, and "this is my body" and "this is my blood" should be exceptions to the rule, right? Ask yourself why people like Chris eliminate "thumbs down" in double digits in almost all questions.
It is the bread and wine is not of flesh and bone. They talk of the essences of the physical flesh and blood, but again this is an idea that has no real physical basis. It is the only basis for subsequent developments. theology.
Pseudo cannibal rituals.
The first Catholic Church uses wine. If a use of grape juice is not.
Second would be very difficult for us to drink his blood as the blood was tested. Do not you think. In the Bible, Jesus said to eat and drink his Body and Blood. Then several of his followers left him in disgust. If Jesus was speaking metaphorically, do not you think they have said? Lost fans in this statement.

At that time, the bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Christ, the Church has always taught. Although still looks like the bread and wine, they have, by divine power, has in fact changed his body and blood.
The bread becomes God
As part of the process, the ordained priest is actually the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ in a real way. Jesus is present body, blood, soul and divinity in the Eucharistic banquet to participate in the Mass. So, exactly what they are consuming the apostles 2000 years ago is consumed at the Last Supper. Ultimately, this intimate relationship with God - more personal than any other type of relationship may be - is what drew me to the Catholic Church and a deeper relationship with my Savior.
Catholics are not correct when they say "just a symbol," because for them it is only a symbol. You see, you have no "priestly orders." They do not have apostolic succession and therefore not valid for the priesthood orders. They can not consecrate a host. They can not call "The Word" with your word, as the Catholic priest can. However, no right or authority whatsoever, to say that the Holy Eucharist, as established by Catholic priests, is only a symbolic gesture.
According to the Aristotelian philosophy, is its essence, its substance, not its molecular structure, that has changed.
We used to talk about this in college. In the Aristotelian framework, a table is a table because it has "table-ness." A chair has a "chair-ness." Pea is a pea-ness. "
The miracle of the body is that when words are said on the elements, God changes the substance of bread and wine "bread and wine-cia-tion" to the essence of Jesus' body and blood.
I know. It is a philosophy screwy. But when you take a philosophy 2000 years ago as absolutely true, it is difficult to leave later in the show that its a conspiracy ideas.
Thus, all revealed religions, too.

The Eucharist (the wafer), which becomes the body of Christ. The blood of Christ is usually wine (or in some cases, the juice).
Everything is metaphorical, and very few people believe that during the Mass that "reality" becomes the body and blood of Christ. Other bodies, like the Anglican Church, claims to represent the body and blood of Christ.
Not much difference, just a matter of perspective. Everyone believes what they want in that regard.
It is well known that the blood is converted into grape juice is converted into bits of meat and bread crumbs or bread.Ask med student.
I would like to try grape juice.
Do not know wine. During Mass, we believe that the Priest. during the transubstantiation, actually becomes the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ.
I tried the Host (bread) before and after was consecrated and I must say that it proved very different to me after it was established …
Locate the year 2500 the distinction between 'substance' and 'accident'. And being a literalist (St. Augustine Remember the favorite phrase from the Bible: The letter kills but the Spirit gives life ") that no one thought of the Risen Jesus, whose body was so different that it had trouble recognizing some of it, but land.
A trick. I do not accept the Risen Jesus, only the physical, it faces this miracle (nothing less than a miracle of the Resurrection) will confine myself to what is permissible responses does not require faith. But obviously it will not work for the Last Supper, the same.
If you read the original Greek to read the story of Jesus with Nicodemus. He said that at the same time he was in heaven. So even the physical body is not what restricts a.
John Henry Newman is excellent on this topic.
Because Jesus was a grape?
Catholicism is a murderous cult that teaches a false gospel of works that leads to the eternal lake of fire (Galatians 1:6-9).
Jesus was clearly speaking figuratively about drinking his blood. If it was literal, and then, Catholics have to gouge their eyes, because Jesus said to do so.
The real truth is that Jesus' blood was shed and paid for all my sins past, present and future.
