In this message, Jacob Prasch responds to a teaching by Roman Catholic priest Fr. Mike Schmitz regarding John chapter 6 and the Bread of Life discourse. Many point to this passage as proof of the Roman Catholic doctrine of the Eucharist and transubstantiation. But what does the passage actually say when read in its full biblical context?
Jacob carefully examines the entire discourse of John 6, highlighting Jesus’ statement that “the flesh profits nothing; the words that I speak to you are spirit and life.” The message explores whether Christ was teaching a literal eating of His flesh, or using a Jewish rabbinic metaphor about believing and receiving the Word of God.
This teaching also discusses the New Testament emphasis that Christ’s sacrifice was once for all, and that communion serves as a memorial of His finished work on the cross.
The goal of this message is not to attack Catholic people, but to encourage believers to examine the Scriptures carefully and in context.
