!["Mithras, the god of Mithraism, was [supposedly] ‘present' in the flesh and blood of the bull, and when consumed, granted salvation to those who partook of the sacrificial meal."
Catholicism teaches that the bread and wine become Christ’s actual body and blood that we eat and drink.
However, when Jesus said, "this is my body" and "this is my blood," it was symbolic;
just as it is when the Bible also says Jesus is a rock, bread, and a door. He is not literally any of those either. And how would a still-living Christ, in His fully intact body, pass His own blood and body tissue to the disciples at the Last Supper? BIBLICAL COMMUNION IS SYMBOLIC
In the early centuries A.D., Roman Emperor Constantine combined Christian and Pagan beliefs in a new religion that could be acceptable to many of either side. It later became Catholicism.
Example: The Catholic Eucharist and Pagan Mithraism
"Mithraism was another religion at that time of the Roman Empire, which was very popular...One of the key features of Mithraism was a sacrificial meal, which involved eating of the flesh and the drinking of the blood of a bull." | image tagged in catholic,god,bible,jesus,last supper,pray | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/3gibax.jpg)
![WHAT ARE THE ORIGINS OF THE “WORD OF FAITH” MOVEMENT? [2 of 3]; One founder was William Seymour who created the Azusa Street Mission in 1906. Those present at the time described absolute chaos with all in attendance wanting to preach, and most everyone did. Nobody stopped to ask for a testimony to even see if the speakers were saved. Even some local witches and sorcerers preached. Seymour realized who they were and stopped them from preaching but they continued to attend and practice their weird worship during the service. Also weird for a Church service, were reports of kissing between unmarried persons. Again, everyone preached, except Seymour, who just sat with his head in a crate and from time to time shouted, "Repent!” | image tagged in bible,god,jesus,christian,church,pray | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/436tu0.jpg)
