Real talk: Either this is some pagan ritual shit added later on by the Romans (like the polytheistic [Trinitarian] nature of Christianity and everything Paul said) or it was never meant to be taken even remotely literally. I'm going with the first one.

Tbh, I assumed figuratively. Doesn't Jesus use figure of speech?

And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for the wealthy to enter into the kingdom of heaven. - Matthew 19:24

Sounds like transubstantiation to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I know what it is, I'm questioning the origins since Jesus spoke sense and truth and was not of the superficial, ritualistic people (nobody intelligent is). It's basically a blood rite, lol.

Ah yes, this ONE crazy nonsense must have been added later, unlike all the other bullshit.

Jesus talked about morals and duties, and used allegories (Sermon of the Mount). For anyone who can read, this is very noticeably bizarre to say the least, but maybe it just meant "you gotta really walk in my shoes". Relax.
