Sorry this is not about some weird blood sucking vampire movie. This is about what our Lord And Savior Jesus Christ told us to do. Jesus said if we do not do this, will not have life in us and we will not be raised on the last day. Now I don't know about you, but I certainly do not want to miss out on this one. Yes things have been tough with going to Mass, Communion and Confession due to COVID. This however going away and it will be safe to go back to Mass every Sunday.
I can not understand for the life of me how a Protestant, Evangelical or so called Born Again Christian can read this and not realize that they need to covert and become Catholic. These are the words that Jesus spoke to all the apostles. Yes a lot of them could not accept this teaching, because they thought it was paganism and therefore they left. This then left only the 12 Apostles to follow Jesus.
The problem is that these so called Christians do not read all of scripture. They only read what their pastors teach them and tell them to read. You see these pastors know that if their congregation were to read all of scripture, they would become Catholic. So it is up to all Catholics to read, learn and study the bible. Then you can answer anyone's questions. Yes there will be those that want to trick you and convince you that they are correct and you are wrong. I see this all the time on youtube where someone makes a video to try and prove the Catholic Church to be wrong.
Here is the scripture below:
The Bread of Life Discourse.
22*
The next day, the crowd that remained across the sea saw that there had
been only one boat there, and that Jesus had not gone along with his
disciples in the boat, but only his disciples had left.
23* Other boats came from Tiberias near the place where they had eaten the bread when the Lord gave thanks.
24When
the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they
themselves got into boats and came to Capernaum looking for Jesus.
25And when they found him across the sea they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?”
26Jesus
answered them and said, “Amen, amen, I say to you, you are looking for
me not because you saw signs but because you ate the loaves and were
filled.
27Do not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life,* which the Son of Man will give you. For on him the Father, God, has set his seal.”l
28So they said to him, “What can we do to accomplish the works of God?”
29Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in the one he sent.”
30So they said to him, “What sign can you do, that we may see and believe in you? What can you do?m
31* Our ancestors ate manna in the desert, as it is written:n
‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”
32So
Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, it was not Moses who
gave the bread from heaven; my Father gives you the true bread from
heaven.o
33For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
34p So they said to him, “Sir, give us this bread always.”
35*
Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will
never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst.q
36But I told you that although you have seen [me], you do not believe.r
37Everything that the Father gives me will come to me, and I will not reject anyone who comes to me,
38because I came down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of the one who sent me.s
39And
this is the will of the one who sent me, that I should not lose
anything of what he gave me, but that I should raise it [on] the last
day.t
40For
this is the will of my Father, that everyone who sees the Son and
believes in him may have eternal life, and I shall raise him [on] the
last day.”u
41The Jews murmured about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven,”
42and
they said, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph? Do we not know his
father and mother? Then how can he say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”v
43Jesus answered and said to them, “Stop murmuring* among yourselves.w
44No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draw him, and I will raise him on the last day.
45It is written in the prophets:
‘They shall all be taught by God.’
Everyone who listens to my Father and learns from him comes to me.x
46Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father.y
47Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life.
48I am the bread of life.
49Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died;z
50this is the bread that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die.
51I
am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread
will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the
life of the world.”a
52The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us [his] flesh to eat?”
53Jesus
said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of
the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you.
54Whoever eats* my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day.
55For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
56Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him.
57Just
as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so
also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me.b
58This
is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate
and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever.”
59These things he said while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
The Words of Eternal Life.*
60Then many of his disciples who were listening said, “This saying is hard; who can accept it?”
61Since Jesus knew that his disciples were murmuring about this, he said to them, “Does this shock you?
62What if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?*
63It is the spirit that gives life, while the flesh* is of no avail. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
64But
there are some of you who do not believe.” Jesus knew from the
beginning the ones who would not believe and the one who would betray
him.c
65And he said, “For this reason I have told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by my Father.”
66As a result of this, many [of] his disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer accompanied him.
67Jesus then said to the Twelve, “Do you also want to leave?”
68Simon Peter answered him, “Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.
69We have come to believe and are convinced that you are the Holy One of God.”d
70Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you twelve? Yet is not one of you a devil?”
71He was referring to Judas, son of Simon the Iscariot; it was he who would betray him, one of the Twelve.e
You see if you do not read all of scripture, you will end up being misinformed and spread lies and misinformation.
