Contradiction with John 6:53
This verse says that one must eat the flesh and drink the blood of Jesus to have life, implying a necessity that can contradict the symbolic act described in 1 Corinthians 11:24.
John 6:53: Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
Contradiction with Luke 22:19
While it parallels the account in 1 Corinthians 11:24, some argue it differs by emphasizing a remembrance aspect that could be seen as going beyond the mere breaking of bread.
Luke 22:19: And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake [it], and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
Contradiction with Hebrews 10:10
States that by one offering, Jesus has perfected believers forever, suggesting no need for repeated rituals, potentially contrasting with the ongoing practice instituted in 1 Corinthians 11:24.
Hebrews 10:10: By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once [for all].
Contradiction with John 3:16
Focuses on belief in Jesus for eternal life, without mentioning rituals like the Lord’s Supper as described in 1 Corinthians 11:24.
John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Contradiction with Matthew 15:11
Indicates that what enters the mouth does not defile a person, potentially minimizing the emphasis on physical rituals implied by 1 Corinthians 11:24.
Matthew 15:11: Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
Contradiction with Romans 14:17
Says the kingdom of God is not about eating and drinking, which can be seen as contradicting the emphasis on the act of eating bread in 1 Corinthians 11:24.
Romans 14:17: For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
