Many Lutherans and Anglicans / Episcopalians believe in the "real presence" of Christ in the Eucharist. Catholics seem to believe Christ is fully present in the Eucharist. Why is that?

    The Anglican Church feels more like "If you believe that Jesus is present, then good, if you do not want to believe it, then it's too cold."
      Lutheran Church in Consubstantiation cree. Meaning that after consuming the bread and wine become Jesus' Body and Blood, but only once after it has been consumed. Therefore, no problem throwing the bread and wine, as it is only bread and wine.
      The Catholic Church contends that during the consecration, the bread and wine into the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ and remains that way until the Eucharist is consumed. So any of the Eucharist which is not consumed, remains the Body and Blood of Christ.
      God does not take away what He has given us.
      Therefore, we do not throw to the Eucharist, because it remains the Body of Christ. Instead, place the Eucharist in the tabernacle for safekeeping until the next Mass, which is usually the next day if not on the same day.

      There is a reason is called transubstantiation. Many people are saying that Jesus does not give us your arm or leg to give flesh and drink his blood. Therefore, it is a hard teaching. It is against God to commit cannibolism and against Judaism to drink blood and they were Jews. It is why we receive the Body and Blood of Christ in the form of bread and wine, because God knows that the stomach could not eat meat and drink real real blood.
      Jesus tells the Jews that unless we eat his body and drink his blood, we have no life in us. When the Jews say, "What does he mean not eating for your body!" Jesus said: "Once again, I say to you, unless you eat my flesh, can not enter the Kingdom of Heaven. " He is more direct and says its first saying.
      Each time the Jews did not understand Him, Jesus said, but this time he did not. Why? Because there is nothing to clarify. You heard right, and when they did not like what they heard, he said: "This is hard to hear, we do not want to hear this." AND LEFT.
      It would be wrong and unfair of God to allow a large group of men to leave without understanding how it would be wrong and unfair to bring Jesus to men in a belief if not sacrilegious what he meant. As God can not be wrong or unjust, it is therefore necessary to give Jews the right ear and that Jesus was speaking literally about the reception of his body and blood and could not accept this teaching, so he left and .
      It is not until later, we see how Jesus gives us his body and blood at the Last Supper. Now we see that the consecrated bread and wine become his body and blood and that is how we receive it.
      Juan is full of double meanings. Jesus said that He is the vine and when he says this is the "fruit of the vine," is a double sense. It is literally the fruit of the vine, as it comes from grapes, but the fruit of the vine is Jesus blood.
      Also, many people say that the early Christians believed that it is symbolic, that is not the case. The first writings that have come from the'60s and'70s show reverence for the Eucharist and the belief that the body and blood of Christ. Never was symbolic.

    Roman Catholics speak of "real presence" as if the term is equivalent to "transubstantiation."
      The early Christians (and today most of the Protestants and Baptists) considered the bread and wine is strictly symbolic, but also believed in the Lord's real presence among them. Jesus said: "For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in their midst" (Matthew 18:20).
      They understood that Christ is present in the congregation of his people, as He promises, especially during the dinner. His presence is real but it is spiritual and not physical.
      The purely symbolic bread and wine remain bread and wine.

  3. Eddie says:

    16 Martin Luther century reformer vigorously defended the Real Presence of the body and blood of Christ in the Lord's Supper and I agree with him. This should not be understood in a big way although cannibalism. Since we are talking about Christ who was both human and divine in their humanity is inextricably linked to his divinity, that He exists everywhere. Obviously it is impossible to understand human reason.
      The idea that Christ's words "This is my body" and so must be understood figuratively has no support in the Bible. Chapter 6 of John does not refer to the Lord's Supper as Christ is the speech about believing in Him to be saved, and if one does not believe in it (ie, eat it) one is lost, while the a Lord's Supper
      he can eat and still be dammed.
      St. Paul teaches, no doubt the real presence that says "For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks sentence itself." (1 Corinthians 11:29 English Standard Version)
      The Roman Catholic idea of transubstantiation is not compatible with the Bible. The idea that the bread and wine are a fundamental change, while retaining only the appearance of bread and wine is a bit of philosophy. On the contrary, the Bible teaches that Christ's body and found in blood with the bread and wine to the bread and wine retain its natural substance.
      Those who reject the Real Presence does not share the historic Christian faith as handed down by the Apostles

  4. Daver says:

    Perhaps the Catholic Christians and non-Catholic Christians define "real presence" in another way.
      REAL PRESENCE - The form of the presence of Christ in the Eucharist. In its definition on the subject, the Council of Trent in 1551 declared that "the sacrament of Holy Eucharist are contained truly, really and substantially the body and blood, together with the soul and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ" (Denzinger 1636, 1640). Therefore, Christ is truly present or fact and not just symbolically. This is really, which is objectively in the Eucharist, not only subjectively in the mind of the believer. And this is substantially, ie everything that Christ and Christ not only spiritually to give blessings to those who receive the sacrament. Which is present is all of Christ (Christus totus), with all the attributes of his divinity and of all parties and the physical properties of their humanity.
      Sacramental presence - The form of the presence of Christ in the Eucharist. It's really, really, and substantially "is" under the appearances of bread and wine, so that when and if they are there in the fullness of his divinity and humanity.

    Transubstantiation <<<thats how it is called Google

  8. Monica V says:

    It is simply harder for some to shake their old names pagan cannibalism.
      If the bread and wine was literally means that the body and blood of Jesus, then Matthew 26 is the main opportunity for Jesus to make it plain.
      However, after careful consideration, you'll notice that Jesus does not give pieces of flesh of his arms and legs - he gave them bread. Also, not to lead the disciples into a vampire by practices that are really drink his blood, which was there in the same room. He gave them wine (fruit of the vine).
      We should follow his example and not read anything more into it, especially if the idea comes from paganism, or a reading of John chapter 6, which never makes it to verse 63.

    The most important facts of your question, please visit the website http://www.mormon.org
      And
      GOOD secret evidence
      There must be a purpose for life otherwise we will miss the peaceful path of happiness really choosing what is right and wrong. Indeed, love does not need anything right, but only the feelings of the right. When love is high, there is low selfishness. Only faith is not just enough to be right. We need proof. Right ..?
      Nobody can get anything at all. Our life has come to life. All are energy. E = MC2
      Spiritually,
      What is God?
      What makes God as God?
      Well, just try to know, what makes God God, power, right? So what can the power? Ah? Well, I can give the ability to organize everything and give you the ability to separate everything and most importantly, the ability to control everything, right? Is not it good? Ah? Therefore, our effort is difficult to research and study with the help of God, we realized that the ability to control all the power of God is gradually increased the amount to use so, The Power of God is omnipotent always existed among everything. God, now and always is the same for us, omnipotent, and is organized and we are growing towards perfection. Perfection is the final stage, not the end. And the power of God, the reward is the ability for us to control everything in a proper manner, as the true God of goodness. And Eternal Happiness is the final stage. And can not come alone without the final stage perfection of God. And if god always perfect in perfection then there have to be from God for the organizing progress of all things. Therefore, there is no end and not from all, including this in the course of progress.
      If still no agreement
      Note this: you can use anything for good or bad it is, whenever possible If you ask the god of good reason to give it the capacity for perfection, because of his obedience, then God will give, God is the Almighty.
      If you are humble, please pray to know the truth from true God by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit with great faith. Good or bad, good with bad. God gave us the rights to do what is right for you and sometimes, things can be right in your point of view but wrong in Public point of view so Basically, God can do anything for the right reason, but just pray about it for the Good Answer and try to do God's will first always.
      Just think, why so much trouble and pain in this world? Then there is only one reason, without pain, without pleasure, without them, we can not enjoy this life for all who need them. You can use the pain and pleasure instead of you use. You must be sure of winning in order to succeed in their best. If possible, save the picture of his vision. The vision of your future should be clear and I feel strong enough to visualize in your mind and your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure. And Love is the capacity. When we do repetitive actions of any state of mind has to be new as we did the first action. And we all make mistakes so it is difficult to find stars in broad daylight. Therefore, only in faith, it is possible. Like the belief in the true God. Due to lack of faith in the true God, we do not have the great gift of understanding things. All things are spiritually first, to govern by God with glory. Take a look at this world of wonders of yours and then you know the truth when you hear your real voice. And with a strong desire to do my best every day then stick with the best to do the best and most important, try to be grateful for what they have to leave the fear and doing your best and good people as a powerful influence person leader, this will make your life to win.
      The Law of mercy can not rob the Law of justice so Justice demands the punishment of our sins, but the mercy of the law requires to give forgiveness to us and God is perfect in perfection so can not violate their laws so that God provided the way to our salvation to overcome our sins Jesus Christ sacrifice is much needed to return to live with God, so Jesus Christ is our savior.
      Did you make the commitment to finding joy in every moment through the empowerment of their meaning and conscious attention to the needs of your five senses?
