5.  We Are Not Cannibals

In the persecution of the early Church, the Jews demonized innocent Christians in the minds of the populace to the extent that many believed Christians to be Cannibals.  The evil Jewish propagandists took the Christian ritual called Communion--wherein Christians ate unleavened bread representative of the body of Jesus Christ (I Corinthians 11:23,24) and drank the fruit of the vine representative of the blood of Christ (I Corinthians 11:25)--and distorted it in order to create an image of cannibalism.  The following excerpt is taken from the book "Eternal Kingdom": 

"After the persecution under Nero began, the Christians in many places had to worship in secret.  This brought upon them all manner of false accusations.  Since Jesus had said symbolically that Christians must "eat his flesh and drink his blood," and since the Lord's Supper is a communion of His body and His blood, it was very easy for the rumor to spread that the Christians were cannibals.  Such false rumors began to grow, and with the charge that Christians were responsible for burning the city of Rome, both the officials and the population at large began to turn against the church."
