Yes, and if it is the same as the sacrifice on the cross, it not only is a sin offering--which Paul stated clearly there is no longer any sin offering--but to eat that "same sacrifice" is to eat a dead body. This is exactly the eating of the sacrifice of the dead.

And why would one have to eat the actual flesh and blood of Christ in order to be a "christ bearer"? Is that not what the taking of the Gospel (not Rome's version which is another) to others is all about--being Christ bearers by preaching the Gospel, and doesn't the Word tell us how beautiful are the feet of those who preach salvation? For doesn't Scripture teach us that where the Word is, there is also the Father? It is the Gospel which souls are to "eat"--not physical objects. Salvation takes place in the soul by the Spirit, and that which is Spirit must save that which is spirit. This is done by the preaching of His Gospel by the power of the Holy Ghost working conviction upon the hearts of the hearers.
