So when we receive Holy Communion, are we taking in God?

?

Yes. Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity.

Yes we are. We're eating Jesus, which is how he intended it. That's why so many of his disciples walked away from him the day he made that clear in John 6. Verses 60-66 continue on and illustrate that he lost the bulk of his followers because what he was revealing to them offended their Jewish sensibilities.

I know we’re eating Jesus, Body Blood Soul and Divinity, but are we taking in God, Himself?

Yes because Jesus humanity is inseparable from his divinity.

 

[FaithT]

Yes because Jesus humanity is inseparable from his divinity.

And His divinity means His being God, correct?

Yes.

David, you are in the Catholic forum. You do not understand transubstantiation.

Sorry - I shouldn't have posted like that in the Catholic Forum. I will delete it.

Since there's no mention of it outside of Luke 22 I'm not sure if Christ had any kind of chronic condition, but it did happen during the Agony. According to Dr Pierre Barbet such an experience would've substantially heightened his skin sensitivity because of the burst blood vessels, making Christ's Passion as painful as physically possible.

Wow! I’m so grateful for his great sacrifice! Glory to Christ forever!
