Real talk: Either this is some pagan ritual shit added later on by the Romans (like the polytheistic [Trinitarian] nature of Christianity and everything Paul said) or it was never meant to be taken even remotely literally. I'm going with the first one.

Sounds like transubstantiation to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I know what it is, I'm questioning the origins since Jesus spoke sense and truth and was not of the superficial, ritualistic people (nobody intelligent is). It's basically a blood rite, lol.

Tbh, I assumed figuratively. Doesn't Jesus use figure of speech?

And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for the wealthy to enter into the kingdom of heaven. - Matthew 19:24
