According to Roman Catholic Canon not only do the wine and the bread turn
into Jesus Christ, but also they are to be worshipped as God!
As confirmed by the Second Vatican Council, this has always been the belief
of the Roman Catholic Church.
ìThere should be no doubt in anyoneís mind ëthat all the
faithful (Catholics) ought to show to this most holy
sacrament (the Eucharist) the worship which is due to the
true God, as has always been the custom of the Catholic
Church. Nor is it to be adored any the less because it was
instituted by Christ to be eaten.íî 6 (emphasis mine)
Not only do they believe that the Most Holy Eucharist is to be worshipped as
God, there are many other beliefs in the Roman Catholic Church surrounding the
magic wafer that directly contradict scripture as the following illustrations
demonstrate.
ìThe body of the faithful adherent to Catholicism that
partakes of the Eucharist becomes incorruptible.î
ìÖour bodies, which partake of the Eucharist, are no longer
corruptible, but possess the hope of resurrection.î 7
However, in the Bible, when the Apostle Paul is speaking of the body no longer
being incorruptible and the hope of resurrection, he is relating to the physical
death of a believer, or when the Lord appears in these Last Days.
ìBehold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we
shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at
the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall
be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this
corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put
on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on
incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then
shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is
swallowed up in victory.î 1 Corinthians 15:51-54
The Apostle Peter also wrote concerning these things.
