Biblical Theology·Nov 5, 2024·Updated Sep 3, 2026
Catholics regularly assemble in their local Churches to receive the Eucharist. They wait with anticipation for the Priest to “say Mass” because at the words of consecration, Catholics believe that the bread and wine is miraculously turned into the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ. This is called Transubstantiation. They believe the very substance of the Eucharist is literally transformed into the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ. Catholics then proceed to eat and drink the Eucharist as the essence of eternal life itself.
Catholics kneel before the Priest for him to place the Eucharist in their mouths. They see the bread, and it doesn’t look like human flesh. They chew it in their mouths, and it doesn’t taste like human flesh. They see the wine, and it doesn’t look like blood. They get a few drops of it in their mouths, and it doesn’t taste like blood. Both the bread and wine is substantially the same as it was before the Mass. What about the miracle of Transubstantiation? Catholics are told to ignore their senses and believe in the Eucharist, even though it looks and tastes like ordinary food. This is strange, unreasonable, unnatural, and unbiblical. This isn’t how the miracles of God worked in the Bible.
“If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.”
— John 10:37-38
“And as ye go, preach, saying, The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.”
— Matt. 10:7-8
The miracles performed by Jesus Christ and the Apostles were public signs that anyone and everyone could see as undeniable evidence that Jesus Christ was the Son of God. You don’t have to ignore your senses to believe in miracles! Your senses are supposed to confirm that a miracle really happened. On the contrary, an act that would normally be called Cannibalism among Catholics is permitted by society without any moral outrage because everyone can clearly see that no miracle was performed to substantially transform the bread and wine into flesh and blood. God does not permit any miracles to be done that are contrary to Holy Scripture.
“Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.”
— Rom. 6:9
“I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.”
— Rev. 1:18
The doctrine of Transubstantiation can be refuted in five words: Jesus Christ is not dead! Upon rising from the dead 2,000 years ago, the Son of God is now alive forevermore. According to and the resurrected Human Body of the Messiah cannot become dead again. Consequentially, the Priests of Catholicism are powerless to provide the flesh and blood of a dead Christ for sinners to eat.
“For the Kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.”
— Rom. 14:17
Salvation in Jesus Christ cannot be reduced to a literal piece of meat and drink. I'm sure the Priests told you about how Jesus said, “For My flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.” but they are ignoring the fact that He was speaking figuratively rather than literally. This is a dangerous misinterpretation. “Is not life more than meat?” The Priests of Catholicism do not possess the authority to give you eternal life through the Eucharist as ambassadors of the Kingdom of God. Evidently, according to the Kingdom of God is not manifest in meat and drink! Rather, it is manifest spiritually through the mighty work of the Holy Ghost in a new birth experience where sinners are set free from their sins
“Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.”
— Heb. 13:9
The Eucharist is central to Roman Catholicism. Catholics worldwide revolve and orbit around the Eucharist! Consequentially, so much attention is constantly being given to the meats and drinks of the Eucharist. Meanwhile, those who are occupied with these superstitious works are not profited. It’s time for you to understand the doctrines of grace according to the Bible Salvation in Jesus Christ cannot be reduced to a ritual of meats and drinks! Nor should your spiritual union with Christ be isolated to a piece of bread that is relegated to the hands of corruptible Priests. This puts the power of divine forgiveness in the hands of the Clergy. Calling them “Father” doesn’t make them fit or trustworthy to stand in the place of God in a stewardship of food for the salvation of your soul.
“And call no man your Father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in Heaven. Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.”
— Matt. 23:9-10
The Priests of Roman Catholicism are being unlawfully exalted with the title, “Father”, making regular Catholics feel base and inferior in the presence of the Priesthood. Men should not be allowed to have “dominion over your faith” Your salvation does not depend upon your faith in the Mass! Your salvation depends upon your faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. “For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.”
Do you still believe in the Pope? The Lordship of the Roman Pontiff is not necessary for your salvation. This man is an imposter! These are empty threats from a powerless man.
When worship bows before a host that never changes, Scripture calls the scene by its true name: a god made by human hands. Isaiah’s warning against baking bread and then adoring it exposes Eucharistic Adoration as a modern likeness of pagan idolatry.
The lifegiving power of the Spirit comes through believing in the word of God through Jesus Christ. Clarifying this, the Lord said, “the words that I speak unto you, they are Spirit, and they are Life” (Jn. 6:63).
Idolatry is a very serious sin that is sending billions of people to hell! Therefore, it is necessary for us to have a correct definition of idolatry according to the Bible.
The starry heavens and the moral law within testify that God has not left the world without a voice: creation manifests His eternal power and Godhead, leaving atheism impossible and every sinner without excuse, bound to glorify Him and give thanks.
