I found this in the book "Misquoting Jesus" by Bart Ehrman, and here is what he states that was happening in the early centuries: "By the middle of the second century, pagan intellectuals began taking note of the Christians and attacking them in in tractates written against them. These works not only portrayed the Christians themselves in negative ways. They also attacked the Christian's beliefs as ludicrous(They claimed to worship the God of the Jews for example, yet refuse to follow the Jewish law) and malingned their practices as scandalous....they were said to worship their god by eating the flesh and drinking the blood of the Son of God. What was one to make of such practices? if you can imagine the worst, you won't be far off. Pagan opponents claimed that Christians engaged in ritual incest(sexual acts with brothers and sister), infanticide(killing the son) and cannibalism(Eating his flesh and drinking his blood)."(Page 198) "...Christians were said to worship a crucified criminal, fooloishly asserting that he was somehow divine."(Page 199)"...As the pagan critic celsus once said, concerning the basis of his attack on Christian beliefs": "These objections come from your own writings, and we need no other witnesses: for you provide your own refutation"(Against Celsus 2, 74). As one can see from above, the pagans in the Roman world were aware of the Christian rituals and were successfully refuting them. Pancho is not alone in saying that Christians engage in cannibalism because this was observed long before. I also remember I use to go to a Catholic Christian school when I was a child and we had to take a class called "Komminion" in German which is translated as "Comminion" in English and they taught us about Christianity early on. The subject of the eucharist was covered in class. We were taught that even though it is bread and wine yet it is the "flesh" and "blood" of our "lord Jesus Christ". It was believed to transform to that and it really wasn't supposed to be bread and wine but flesh and blood. I remember that from childhood and even when I started going to church in the United States it was no different. This is the concept behind it and Pancho is ny lying about it. This was noticed early on and Pagans were attacking Christians by using their own doctrines, writings and rituals against them. I also feel that Christianity is corrupt with evil and pagan rituals which can't be traced back to Jesus but to the church. --------------------- |
