Hey Robert,Catholics take the sacraments so that they can become like Jesus. There is nothing in the Bible that promotes this idea. Christians take the sacraments because it points to the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. Jesus said, "Do this in remembrance of me".
Who taught you that "Catholics take the sacraments so that they can become like Jesus"? Whomever taught you that, they lied to you. Unless you have evidence to back up what you claim because there is nothing in Catholic teaching that supports your lie.
You are right. At The Last Supper Jesus said, "Do this in remembrance of me". That is why Christians, for 2,000 years, have participated in the communion of bread/wine! We also agree with Him when he said at The Last Supper that it IS his body/blood. Do you agree with Him?
About 20 years after the Last Supper in a letter to the Christians at the church of Corinth Paul asked them a question; The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
What is your answer to those 2 questions Robert Pate? It sounds like your answer is, "No Paul, it is not a communion in the body and blood of Christ".
Well Robert, Paul would then say to you ", whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. 28 Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. 29 For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves.
Keeping it real with Scripture instead of opinions....Mary
