I am so confused … we take the Eucharist literally or symbolically?
Is it also true that Catholics believe is a part of, like the work (rather than an element of faith, without which shows that there is no true faith), is trying to earn salvation, and that the death of Jesus was not really enough?

"Anxanum ancient city of Frentanese, has contained for over twelve centuries the first and greatest Eucharistic Miracle of the Catholic Church. This wonderful event took place in the 8th century AD in the little church of San Legontian as a divine response to a Basilian monk of doubt about Jesus' real presence in the Eucharist. "
Test blood type AB blood.
"The flesh and blood have the same blood type: AB (Blood-type identical to that Prof. BAIM Bollone uncovered in the Shroud of Turin)." Http: / / http://www.therealpresence.org / eucharst / .. .
Until the reform to all Christians believed in the Real Presence in the Eucharist. Metaphorical symbolism is a unique product of post-reform theology. Certainly, if Christ was speaking metaphorically that the disciples would have left that is difficult to leave teaching.
Challenge the ability of an omnipotent God that any substantial change, but the accidents of bread and wine at its command is irrational if you think you are omnipotent.
Catholics do not believe we can earn our salvation through our own works. You evil Catholicism like Chris. We believe that we must have faith and cooperate with God's will to achieve salvation. After the first Christians believed in Christ's real presence in the Eucharist. The early Christians took literally. A simple Internet search will show this. So if you do not believe in the Eucharist, his beliefs are out of line with the first Christians after Christ. Evidence of the Eucharist to check for blood in the not crush our faith. Where in the Bible does not say that the bread taste like meat and wine as the blood tested at the last supper? No. We believe that accidental changes to the substance itself, but how the taste properties of bread and wine remain the same.
Uh huh. Therefore, you are really confused, which is just insulting. You do not have to be blood in the Eucharist Jesus. If you do not have enough faith to believe in it, it is not too bad. People, like you, have tried to crush the Church for millennia and have not been successful. Maybe you can do what the Romans, now can not do. LOL Meanwhile, let's pray to return to the true Church and at the end of his heresy.
Some people say literally, symbolically and some would say some would say not all. So go to your preferences.
We are going to "take that" as we believe, even if we are insulted. Lutherans believe in the real presence. Do you want to call that too?
Indeed, the Eucharist is food for the believer, if one is to believe that Jesus in his conference in Capernaum. It is food for resistance to eternal life. Provides the grace necessary to complete the race. Compared with the Jesus who ate manna in the desert for the Israelites. But Jesus is speaking of the New Partnership requiring a novel food which is his Body and Blood. In making this comparison, he says that the true bread from the father and just as He says He is the bread of life. If one eats this bread will live forever. He listened to the disciples began to realize that Jesus was not speaking metaphorically but literally, then we arrive at the following verses:
(Joh 6:52 DRB) (6:53) The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat
Then Jesus said on the literal language unambiguous:
(Joh 6:53 DRB) (6:54) Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen, I say unto you: unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
The next verse indicates to eat his body and drink his blood. It is for us "abidete" or in other words, he remains in the grace given by the act of receiving his Body and Blood. But the Eucharist we are even more benefits to the extent that it increases our union with Christ as the main result of receiving the Eucharist is an intimate union with Christ.
(Joh 6:56 DRB) (6:57) He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abideth in me: and I in him.
An additional benefit is that the Eucharist is impossible without Christ to join the cleanup of the past sins and preserving us from future sins through His grace. This is part of the process of sanctification in which to grow in our faith in what separates us most of the risk of mortal sin. Moreover, the participation of the Eucharist renews, strengthens and deepens further into the Church which is achieved by Baptism. That unites the whole Church militant, suffering and triumphant.
This is what Saint Ignatius on the Eucharist at the end of the first century, "the bread that provides the medicine of immortality, an antidote for death, and the food that makes live forever in Jesus Christ."
One can question the spiritual work of God does not always require a physical channel. "Always" is a very dangerous position to take when talking about God as God, as sovereign can do creative things however you want. So this is not really a question of "if", but instead, God made use of the natural channel of Jesus transform simple bread and wine into his Body and Blood to grant the grace of eternal life.
I was reading the comment of another apologist for some time and the story about how some Protestants Docetist get a view when it comes to the Eucharist. They have no problem believing in something spiritual, but when it comes to blending spirit and matter that seem to experience intellectual and theological mind block. This is the usual excuse for not believing in the sacraments and a spiritual reality that is transmitted through the area. They may even believe that this is a violation of the divine plan. Issue instead of being used should be avoided which would explain why some have trouble understanding the incarnation. Many believe that it would be much easier if God does not dirty itself with the subject. The Eucharist shows that God loves The case comes to us under the guise of bread and wine. Thus there is no contradiction in Christ sacramentally, and be physically present.
One wonders how this can be Christ in the Eucharist and in the sky and it's a fair question. First, I want to make clear explanation of how that Christ performed this miracle is a great mystery that we accept in faith through His spirit. If we look at the account of the Last Supper of Jesus, we present two ways. Is present at the table in a natural way and is also present in a sacramental way, that is no different from the experience of the Eucharist today and the history of the Church. How does this while being a mystery is not only impossible because you can not fully understand with our reason. We can all agree as Christians that God is everywhere and that He is present in a spiritual sense, when we meet. This is a mystery that he reigns in heaven in his glorified body on earth and natural in your body. If you can create the universe from nothing can not do the bread and wine into his Body and Blood? These things may be beyond our comprehension, but not beyond the capabilities of God.
For those who believe not in the real difficulties are the following verses:
(DRB 1 Cor 11:26) For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, Shew that the Lord's death until they come.
(DRB 1 Cor 11:27) So, who eats this bread or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
(DRB 1 Cor 11:28) But a man prove himself, and stop eating what the bread and the cup of drink.
(DRB 1 Cor 11:29) For it eats and drinks unworthily eats and drinks sentence himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
(DRB 1 Cor 11:30) Therefore there are many sick and weak among you, and many sleep.
People who refuse to believe in the real presence that I think this is a metaphor. But if it is a simple metaphor, how can one be "guilty of the body and blood" when one receives unworthily? As one scholar as "simple and obvious reason that we believe the presence of Christ's body is necessary for a crime committed against her." (Cardinal Nicholas Wiseman, Lectures on the real presence) does not seem reasonable that may be guilty of Christ's body and blood if it is not present in the Sacrament. Other scholars say, "No one is guilty of murder if you just hurt the statue or picture of a man without touching the man in person." (Rumble and Carty, Eucharist Quizzes to a Street Preacher) The question could be asked to St. Paul's view of education, can be satisfied in a theological belief in a real sense of the complete absence of a sense of real presence.

Catholicism is false. It is not literally the body and blood of Jesus:
John 6:63 says that Jesus was speaking spiritually, not literally: "The words you speak are spirit and are life." TROS. Right there, Jesus called it a metaphor. In John chapter 6.
Jesus calls it a metaphor here:
Luke 22:19 states clearly that the Lord's Supper is for purposes of memory, to remember Jesus' death for our sins: "Do this in remembrance of me."
Then there is this: Acts 15:20,29 "We wrote to them to abstain from pollutions of idols, and fornication, and from things strangled, and blood."
Cannibalism is disgusting and unbiblical to say the least.
Catholicism is not Christian. Catholicism teaches a false gospel of works that leads to eternal torment in hell (Galatians 1:6-9).
Catholicism can not save.
True salvation is a free gift that happens in a split second when you believe in Jesus, just to save money! It is impossible to lose or "leave" salvation (John 6:39-40, 1 John 5:13).
The truth about Jesus is that the only way to be saved and reach heaven and avoid being sent to eternal hell is by believing in faith alone that Jesus is God, died for our sins on the cross as full payment for all our sins, then Jesus was resurrected from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). And I think this will be in heaven, no matter what!
Please pray now: "Jesus, please forgive me my sins. I believe that You died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. Thank you for eternal life! "You will be in heaven with Him forever when you die.
Do not drink the blood of Christ or his body to heaven to eat well. Taking the bread and wine / juice in remembrance of Jesus' sacrifice for you. There is no blood there unless you go to some satanic church.
The death of Jesus was sufficient. But the Lord asks that Christians do this in remembrance of him.
I am not Catholic but not Christian. I do not know why Catholics are jumping like this, but I have seen the answers given were very clear.
Please read this article will tell you everything you need to know and give you all copies of the scriptures of the Bible belief.http: / / http://www.watchtower.org/e/20080401a/ar …
You must take the Eucharist as a silly ritual that makes no sense whatever.
