1 Timothy 1:4
Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.

1 Timothy 6:4
He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting aboutquestions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,

2 Timothy 2:23
But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.

Titus 3:9
But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain

It is a sin, if not cooked to a temperature of 160 degrees. Only on CC...

And now for a short interlude with an appropriate song by Flanders and Swann.

some people believe every time they participate in Holy communion. they eat human flesh of Jesus. They believe the bread they eat become real flesh and by that time this flesh unite whit them for 15 minute, it is time to ask the flesh what ever you need while the flesh of Jesus is in you body.

How does this thread edify the body?

Historical note that when we see folks eating human flesh it is in times of severe judgment by Jehovah. Those who are here during the great tribulation will face the need to eat other humans or starve. That is a great humiliation to consume the flesh of another human being.

Let's covenant to never desire to be in such a situation and that our children should never be subjected to such judgment at the hand of God.

For the cause of Christ

That's not what the scriptures state. Its symbolic of what Christ did. There are not 15 minutes this or that. We have to be careful not, to entertain mans thoughts.

Christians don't believe the bread and the wine actually change their components and aspect into the human flesh and blood of Jesus Christ. Rather, they believe in His real presence in the Eucharist. I wouldn't call this canibalism.
Or, if you want to call this canibalism then be consequent and apply it to the words of Jesus Christ also (read John 6).

God is omnipresent. It doesn't need to be Eucharist.

Whatever, sir. I only said that if you want to compare the approach of some christians to the Saint Eucharist with canibalism, then you should be consequent (and honest) and apply the same understanding to the words of Jesus Christ (again, read John 6).
Also, if a christian believes that Christ is present in the Eucharist it doesn't mean that he negates the truth that God is omnipresent.

I know what cannibalism is, in no way is it equivalent to suicide. Unless of course your taking this to spiritual levels, which would once again be pure speculation. Like if I had to either eat human flesh or starve to death, I would choose cannibalism over suicide every time.

So they picked up Jonah and threw him into the sea, and the sea ceased from its raging. Then the men feared the Lord exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice to the Lord and took vows. Now the Lord had prepared a great shark to swallow Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the shark three days and three nights

I don't know why you relate to john 6.

About the fact that omnipresent, you believe it, Am I correct?

Than what is the different when you eat regular bread with Eucharist, if Christ present in both of them
