| Why does the Catholic Church teach that the eucharist is worthy of the
same respect and adoration due God? The catechism of the Catholic Church makes the assumption that the man-made bread of the Eucharist has become Divine. The catechism clearly mandates eucharistic worship, whereas, the Bible strictly forbids it.
1378. Worship of the Eucharist.
1379.the Church became conscious of the meaning of silent adoration of the Lord present under the Eucharistic species. It is for this reason that the tabernacle should be located in an especially worthy place in the church and should be constructed in such a way that it emphasizes and manifests the truth of the real presence of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament.
However, the Scriptures teach us otherwise in...
John 4:23-24
Isaiah 42:8
Deuteronomy 4:13, 15-16
The catechism’s physically literal interpretation of Scripture leads to idolatry. According to the Bible, we must not give worship to any false god or idol, meaning anything man-made (as an image) to represent God.
