And you’re okay with that? Eating another person’s flesh and drinking their blood? I don’t understand why people who love Jesus want to eat him.Far as I know, Jesus is the only human being who we are commanded to eat His flesh and drink His blood.
why do you ask? just wondering. the Good Book doesn't touch on every abomination known to man. it gives us credit for common sense. so if it doesn't condemn a particular human activity it doesn't mean it's ok.If people can provide where it says explicitly in scripture not to eat another man post it here. Thanks!
By the way I've heard some folks make the exact point regarding poop eating! Coprophagia is not explicitly forbidden by scripture
A lot of times it’s because they are confused what the image of God is.
The reason the bread and wine maintains its original physical form is exactly to avoid this problem. We are eating spiritual blood and flesh, mystically changed to be Christ's. It is not as simply as eating another person. We are commanded to do it as it is our way of directly having Christ's divinity be part of us.And you’re okay with that?

Many will also come to Him saying "Lord, Lord" and claiming they did many things in His name.... (They call Him Lord AND tgey do things in His name... clearly they considered themselves saved believers)Then why not explicitly state as much?
Many Christians would still consider us, in a mean sense, animals.

Just cause the masses, even those that claim Jesus, doesnt mean they are correct.
My objection and revulsion is not just toward actual cannibalism. It is also toward pretend cannibalismThe reason the bread and wine maintains its original physical form is exactly to avoid this problem.

This is a common misunderstanding however. Many first through fourth century Christians were killed because the Roman's thought they were a cannibalistic cult.
Im against Catholicism pretty much entirely... so.....
Are you against eating the ceremonial wafers at church and drinking the ceremonial blood then? You are against all christians partaking in the symbolic last supper?
are you trying to imply something other than what is written in God’s Word?
What other Christians do is none of my business.Are you against eating the ceremonial wafers at church and drinking the ceremonial blood then? You are against all christians partaking in the symbolic last supper?
1 Corinthians 11:23-26

If someone feels led to follow Catholicism and its traditions, that is between them and God
I never implied anything even close to being against "all Christians", I said "I" meaning singular, speaking of and for myself, no one else.
I agree. It was the same with the Donner party in the 1840s crossing the Sierra Nevada Mountains.Hey. Let's just take a moment to distinguish between cannibals who kill to eat and cannibals who eat those who died of incidental causes, okay? Maybe the OP just wants to know if their recently departed mother can be put on the menu? Judge not, bigots.
In all seriousness, though, those dudes from Peru only ate their friends after the friends had already frozen/starved to death. Yes, I'm bringing this up partly just to satisfy my own dark sense of humor, but I also think eating someone who died of other causes for the sake of your own survival is substantially different from purposely killing and eating them. Still gross. Still disrespectful of the departed. Still wouldn't do it unless I had to. But not on the same moral plane.
That's because they are confused. They need further study, and don't know the gravity of what they are thinking. They are basically calling God an animal when you think about the scripture where God makes us in His image. We are not animals. Animals do not have "will." They are based of instinct not will.
First, neither is the attitude of attributing words to my posts that I never said.... but IF you want to believe thats a bad attitude, your business, my conscience is clear, because there is a huge difference between not caring, and realizing that we do not all have the same walk with Christ as another.That's not the best attitude to have, sorry to say. You should earnestly desire the best for the body of Christ, which you incidentally are a member thereof.
It's pretty widespread across all protestant denominations as well. Partaking of the Lord's supper, that is.
What made you bring up that Matthew verse then? People who bring up that specific verse are usually in condemnation mode when they post it.
