Why do people believe that communion, eating and drinking the blood of Christ, is witch craft?

[Anonymous]

I mean I can get why they look at as as witch craft but as believer I see the biggest difference in that Jesus wasn’t a man, he was holy while other forms of rituals (witch craft) such as burning sage, comes from men who are in fact sinners just like the rest of us and it isn’t as simple as eating a cracker and drinking cranberry juice.

Witchcraft? I don't know if I've ever heard that one. At any rate, if they do, it's probably because of the "eat my flesh, drink my blood". If you ask me though, those who do think so should be forgiven for their presumed ignorance of the doctrine of transubstantiation; the substance of the bread and wine change into the substance of Christ's Body and Blood, but the accidents (philosophically speaking) - the taste, shape, scent, etc. - of the bread and wine remain. Even if it were to be well-explained to them though, I can only assume that most would still dismiss it. It is what it is.

And I don't know what your beliefs are, but Jesus was (and still is) a man.

I believe in Jesus Christ but when I said Jesus wasn’t a man I meant, he wasn’t a sinner like you and I. He was both God (holy) and a man, which you and I are just human with the spirit of God in us but unlike Christ, we fall short and sin.

People get confused about rituals and think only pagans and Christians have them. When in fact every faith (and non-faith) has them.

Because you are essentially recreating witch craft behaviors only with different items and you were conditioned to believe that those items hold a different meaning than what witch craft items hold.

Because that’s literally some cultist shit.


Eating flesh and drinking blood is what they accuse satanists of doing.


It’s hypocrisy and it’s creepy.

[NotTacocaT6969]

Try to take a step back and read how you sound.

“Yes, beheading goats, eating their hearts and praising the dark lord may seem kind of like witchcraft, but as a believer, it’s no different than eating an apple for me.”

[Asker]

It’s neither hypocrisy or creepy, it’s truth which can sound like creepiness or hypocrisy when you refuse the truth. God bless you sister

[Asker]

It’s no ritual, it’s a remembrance of Jesus because God only remembers us because of his son Christ and through communion we fully submit, mind, body and soul over to him, to his will, not our own. What I have noticed with people like you, you do a lot of talking and lack understanding and refuse to try to understand. I’m in no way forcing Christ down your throat, when or if you ever become willing and ready to know the real truth, you’ll seek Christ on your own, but you won’t disrespect what I know to be true.

[NotTacocaT6969]

You’re the one doing a lot of talking and lacking understanding here.

This is why people have no respect for cultists…you let it become your entire personality and it’s all you’ll talk about. 🤦‍♀️

[MementoMori777]

cause they dont know the symbolism in it isn't a ritual, its just to remember when jesus had the final discussion with his disciples before being crucified

It's cannibalism. Catholics believe the bread and wine turns into flesh and blood when you eat it.

[Asker]

Uhh I thought cannibalism was when another human eats another humans body part (s) literally and not in the form of crackers and cranberry juice (Bread and wine). You know like leather face.

[purplepoppy]

It is but Catholics believe those crackers turn into flesh when you swallow

[Mansearching]

Its not witch craft. Its recreating the last supper before Christ was crucified.

[Asker]

That’s what I always say but you know these agents sent by the enemy will always try to find a way to make you think twice about the almighty in some way. They have to trick and deceive your mind and make you think but the Bible holds all truth against anything they say.

[Mansearching]

Ignore them

[Agape93]

Think of it this way. You're eating the flesh and blood of the cult leader for symbolic purposes

[collie22]

You do know that blood and body of Christ is spiritual symbolism.

[slatyb]

To me, it's just dry bread and cheap wine.

[Dargil]

Because they are fatally ignorant. Do you?
