Catholic mass, partaking of the eucharist in the Catholic church was based on Christs words, John 6:53 John 6:53
“Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.”
To eat flesh and drink blood in ancient middle east idioms meant to undergo a death, figuratively or literally for the truth.
tell the truth, people will hate you, withdraw from you and make you infamous. THAT's under going a death. Christ spoke the truth and what happened, they mocked him, made him infamous because of his teachings.
What's the doctrine Christ taught?
Luke 9:23
“And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.”
deny self = instead of seeking fame and fortune, seek to do GODs will.
daily cross means to die daily for truth and follow me = The narrow way
Matthew 7:14
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Narrow way in the greek is thlibo, where we get thlipsis means tribulation, to suffer persecution and trials Job is another great example of undergoing tribulation.
