When did the multiple cups come into the Church of Christ? I grew up in the church but started seeing different things that we were doing that the bible says not to do. Paul said in 1 Corinthians 14: 33-35 that women should keep silent in the church but yet women still teach in Sunday school just a couple of things the church does that it doesn't say in the bible. I do believe that all scripture is inspired by God 2 Timothy 3 : 16-17 .
Just a question: Would the idea of the juice turning into blood as you drank it violate the commandment from the Apostles to the christians in the book of Acts to not eat blood?
Scott i find it hilarious how you are mocking transubstantiation by your little hand movements while saying a horror movie like a possessed doll or something. Learn what transubstantiation is before you speak on it. Transubstantiation means that the bread and wine presented at the altar at the Mass become the body and blood of Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit at the consecration. The consecration is the time when the priest calls upon the Holy Spirit to change the bread and wine into Christs body and blood , however the body and blood retain the appearance of bread and wine , so no there is no possession like in horror movies and it is not by the priests power that this happens , it is happening all because the Holy Spirit is guiding the Catholic church and having a valid priesthood. Jesus in scripture teaches the apostles and disciples explicitly that one must eat his flesh and drink his blood for eternal life literally not figuratively and this is why he gives us a very clear example of this in John 6 when he shows the typology between the fathers in desert were being fed by God manna from heaven literally so that they can be sustained on the earthly life , but Jesus does one better and says he is the true bread from heaven one must eat his flesh and drink his blood for eternal life , he double emphasized it by using the words truly truly as he teaches us about this Eucharist and wine. St Paul who was not even a witness of these teachings yet he himself taught the true presence of Jesus in the bread and wine because Jesus revealed things to him 1 cor 10-16-17...... "The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread." notice how st paul is making a point with a question as in do you see what i am saying you guys , here goes another verse 1 cor 11:23-27 "For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, 'This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.' In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.' For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord." again , notice one does not die for a mere symbol , St Paul is telling us people have died becasue they have partook in a unworthy manner and people are sick and dying right now he also says , i can then go on and on and on with scripture verses showing this , then i can go on to the early church and show what they taught which was the very same thing and this is Jesus is truly present in the bread and wine , transubstantiation is simply another way of trying to describe so that we as his followers can get an understanding. And another thing you mention the passover , the passover meal had to literally be eaten! and the blood had to be placed over the door post for death to pass them over , Jesus is introducing a pre-figurement of the Holy Communion which we must partake of for eternal life , so dont try and bring up oh well he had not yet been crucified or shed his blood ......you guys want to set up a debate on these issues ? i can get in contact with my Catholic Apologists , or will you guys run from the challenge ? lets get this done
Jeeez guys, you really cracked the code on this one. After 2,000 years and countless people understanding it being the literal body and blood you all solved it. SMH
If nobody is worthy why did the apostles partake of it? Christ's blood washes us clean of sin thru baptism and as long as we walk in the light we are made worthy or Christ died for nothing.
The idea of communion is also extended to include all Christians. Paul continued to write to the church in Corinth, “For we, though many, are one bread and one body; for we all partake of that one bread.” (1Corinthians 10:17). When we are partaking of the Lord’s Supper, not only are we in communion with the Lord, but we are also in communion with all Christians who are partaking of that communion. To further stress the importance of this concept of communion, consider what Jesus said in the gospel according to John. Speaking to the multitude of disciples who followed Him wherever He went, He said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.” (John 6:53-56). Having this understanding of the terms and events that define the important role that the Lord’s Supper plays should make us realize that the Lord’s Supper should be considered as a solemn event in the life of every Christian.

But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
