differently from the context of the "body" which is being "eaten," knowing
that only saved people would understand. From Acts 2 onward, the Lord's
"body" is the "church" of which all saved people are members (which Paul
explained in the next chapter: 1 Corinthians 12:13a "For by one Spirit are

we all baptized into one body...") We don't eat OURSELVES!

Colossians 1:18a "And he is the head of the body, the church..."

Colossians 1:24 "Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up
that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's
sake, which is the church..."

Ephesians 1:22b-23a "...the church, Which is his body..."

Ephesians 5:29-30 "For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but
nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are
members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones."

CONFESSIONAL BOOTHS

Catholics believe you must frequently confess your most recent sins to a
catholic priest in a booth. But there is no such practice in the Bible. Even in
the Old Testament, when there was a special class of priests, people could
confess their sins DIRECTLY TO GOD.

2 Samuel 24:17 "And David spake unto the LORD...
and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly..."

1 Chronicles 21:8 "And David said unto God,
I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing..."

2 Chronicles 30:22 "...the Levites...did eat throughout the feast...making
confession to the LORD God..."

In desperation, some catholics will appeal to John the Baptist. (Oh, the
irony!)
