“Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life.” Contrariwise; if you don’t eat my flesh and drink my blood, you don’t have life. See where they get it from? That’s where they get it from, right there. Looks reasonable, doesn’t it? “Verily, verily, I say unto you...Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life.” (vss. 53–54) See that?

You ask a Catholic, “Are you saved?”

“Oh yes, I’m saved.”

“When did you get saved?”

“Well, I was raised Catholic.”

“I don’t mean that. I mean have you received Jesus Christ?”

“Oh yes, I receive him every Sunday.”

“What’s the proof text?”

“John 6:54—I eat His flesh and drink His blood.”

“Then how come you don’t know for sure that you are saved? How come you have to go back every Sunday and eat Him again? If you have eternal life, what is the idea of going back every Sunday.”

Look at verse 63. “...the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” See that? I’m going to be as reverent as I know how. If I had Jesus Christ’s dead corpse lying right here, and I stuck a needle into Him and drew out His blood and drank that blood and cut a piece off His finger and ate that thing, I’d go to Hell just like a bullet. Do you know why? Because “the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” It is the word of God that does the stuff—not the flesh—“the flesh profiteth nothing.”

The idea of resurrecting a dead corpse—so you can eat it or swallow it like a cannibal—the very idea of calling that a Christian operation! I mean, if you eat Jesus Christ on Sunday and then have to eat Him again on the next Sunday, what happens in between times? You know something? There are forty million people in the world today that haven’t even thought about that. That’s why I told you earlier that you have to think! You talk about a blasphemous, obscene, filthy, dirty, godless, heartless religion—what could be more hellish than that? A Saviour that you can swallow; a Saviour that you can eat!

You know what Article Thirty-one of the Thirty-Nine Articles of England calls the mass? It calls it a “blasphemous fable and dangerous deceit.” That is Article Thirty-One of the Articles of England. Were you raised in the Episcopalian church? I bet that coming up as an Episcopalian you never even knew what that article said. That’s Article Thirty-One of the Thirty-Nine Articles of the Church of England.

Do you now what the Catholics say about this business? (You talk about bigotry, I’ll give you some!) “If anyone shall say that the substance of the bread and wine remain in the sacrament of the most holy Eucharist, together with the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, and shall deny the wonderful and singular conversion of the whole substance of the bread into
