Christianity is based on historical facts, or it is nothing. These are all spiritual ideas and experiences.) True or false, spiritual ideas and experiences are not the foundation or the sum of Christianity. (By “spiritual ideas and experiences” I mean things like: the idea that there is a God or that humans have souls or that faith in a higher power has good psychological effects or the experience of peace in the midst danger or a spiritual premonition that helps you avoid trouble or the assurance that you will go to heaven or be reincarnated. But I begin with this question to make sure you know it is foundational and to stress the fact that Christianity is based on historical events and facts, not just spiritual ideas and experiences.

29 I tell you I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.” 30 And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat this is my body.” 27 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you, 28 for this is my blood of thecovenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
