What is the belief that bread and wine change to Jesus' body and blood called?
This is called Transubstantiation. In the Catholic Church it is believed to be a literal transformation, although the bread and wine do not change in appearance or physical properties. In the Protestant Churches it is generally believed to be symbolic.
Who was the last living descendant of Jesus Christ?
If you mean in terms of natural descent then there never were any decendants since Jesus never married or had any children. He came as a savior and to die for the sins of the world and then to return to heaven before He comes as judge. It would have been most inconsiderate of Him to take a wife and have children and then leave and so He just didn't. Besides all that, He had one job to concentrate on.
If, on the other hand you mean spiritual descendants then these are innumerable and thousands, even millions are alive today and both love and follow Him gladly. == There is not and never has been any evidence of any descendants of Jesus. The obsessive claims that Jesus married Mary Magdalene and had children are a modern invention of atheists intent on discrediting Christianity.
Why are there only eleven apostles depicted in Durer's painting 'The Last Supper'?
In Luke 22 Judas Betrays Jesus before the last supper. Durer did more than one image of the Last Supper, and at least one of them has 12 apostles in it. I think that I found the one you mean... a horizontal version that seems to be a picture of after Judas Iscariot left the meal. Addition: The reference to Luke 22 is misleading: In Luke 22:21 Jesus says:'Behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table'. And as the question implies, the custom is to portray 12 apostles in paintings of the 'Last Supper'. But it is true that Dürer includes only 11 apostles in the woodcut of 1523.
This was categorized under 'The Last Supper', so I'm going to conclude that you were referring to that. The Last Supper was not bad, however what proceeded the day after and what the Last Supper stood for is rather grotesque.
The Last Supper was, in the New Testament, the Last Supper that Jesus ate with his disciples, and the one in which he gave his last words of wisdom. The proceeding day, Jesus was set to be crucified, and hence the celebration of Easter.
Why did the Last Supper not appear in the Gospel of John?
The Last Supper does appear in the Gospel of John, beginning at Chapter 12, verse 1. Jesus spends this time with his disciples, instructing them at the supper in chapters 12-14, and He further instructs them on the way to the Garden of Gethsemane, chapters 15&16.
AnswerThe Last Supper was the Passover feast and appears in the Synoptic gospels, Matthew, Mark and Luke, because Passover occurred on the Thursday before the crucifixion. In John's Gospel, the Passover was on the Friday of the crucifixion, so there is no Last Supper recorded, instead Jesus washed the feet of the disciples.Why do some churches use leavened bread at communion?
Some churches use leavened bread for Communion because they believe the appropriate bread for the Lord's Supper is the common bread of the local community. Other churches use unleavened bread in recognition of the Jewish feast of Passover, which was the occasion at which Jesus first instituted the rite of Communion. Each choice is supported by valid but differing theological viewpoints.
The Last Supper on Maunday Thursday before being turned over to the ones that executed him is the time that Jesus showed the disciples the order of the Eucharist.
Were there only men at the last supper?
No, the Last Supper didn't hold just men, but there is one woman on the left hand side of Jesus, if you have all ready realized that and don't know who she is and if you didn't realize and are curious to find out, that woman in the Last Supper is Jesus' 2nd disciple- known fairly by the "Apostle of Apostles", and is his wife, Mary Magdalene, if you don't believe that is Mary, and believe that is John, you are sadly mistaken, I was sadly mistaken myself actually because we all (of course) believe there was only men in that painting--but apparently no. If you still have disbelief about the information I just gave you, you are welcome to read about Mary Magdalene on Google, Wikipedia, or some website like that, I am only 13 and I am still discovering new things about Catholicism /:
What time of the day was jesus last supper?
Mark's Gospel says that the Last Supper, which was the Jewish Passover meal, began when it was evening. The gospel then goes on to demonstrate that this was at just 6 o'clock in the evening, because the author of this gospel divided the final twenty-four hours up into eight segments of exactly three hours each, starting at 6 o'clock on Thursday evening and ending at 6 o'clock on Friday evening. The Passover meal traditionally lasted three hours and ended with singing a hymn.
What is the cause of death when you slit your throat?
There are three possible causes of death when the throat is cut.
The most likely is exsanguination; if the external jugular vein, and/or internal jugular vein, and/or carotid artery are cut the person will bleed to death.
It is also possible, if the throat has also been cut open, to choke to death on the blood.
Another possibility is the occurence of an embolism, if air enters either of the jugular veins.
------------------------------
A nurse once told me to breathe in right before someones slits your throat, and you'll have a better chance of living.

I'm guessing that makes your larynx more pronounced so they have to cut deeper to hit the blood vessels.
Why did everyone sit on one side of the table at the Last Supper?
The picture that you are citing, was based on European concepts of dining. In the Middle East, food was eaten reclining around a central table, and thus it was likely that Jesus sat in a central position, and the disciples were on the sides of that central table.
What are the words of the lords prayer?
Jesus' prayer can be read in the Gospel of John, chapter 17. Most confuse the 'Lord's Prayer' found here with what is properly called the 'model' prayer found in Matthew 5 given by Jesus as a way for us to pray to our 'Father.'
What did the disciples dip their unleavened bread in?
they had unleavened bread and wine (which was more like our grape juice than wine now)
How did Jesus spend most of his nights?
The way Jesus spent his nights is unknown. The bible does not say anything about Jesus' nights but there is one time when a person namedNicodemus came to Jesus by night and asked him, "what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" It is a probability that Jesus spent his nights sleeping.
What happens at the event where Christians remember the last supper?
Nothing out of the ordinary happens. This is just a time to remember Jesus Christ's death as 'the lamb of God'.
Luke 22:19 And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me."
1Corinthians 11:23-26 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me." In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me." For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death till He comes.
In most churches believers eat a small piece of bread which symbolizes Christ's body and drink some wine or grape juice which symbolizes Christ's blood. The way this is actually done may vary from church to church.
Why did Judas leave the last supper early?
Jesus told the disciples that one of them will betray Him. Along with some others Judas says, "Is it I?" Jesus already knowing he had already agreed to betray Him, he says, "Yes it is you." Jesus told Judas to go and do what he has already agreed to do and Judas got up and left.

What does Jesus say is the inheritance the blessed ones receive?
- He mentioned: "The Kingdom"; meaning the "Kingdom of the Heavens".
- He also mentioned a different inheritance: "The earth."
In regard to this life, Jesus also spoke of the meek inheriting the earth. This was a fiercely counter-cultural thing to say: where do the "meek inherit the earth?" Since the beatitudes are meant to govern our life today, perhaps we should see this as an argument against striving for your rights, but rather trusting in God.
On the other hand, it is oftentimes necessary to stand up against wrongs, particularly those being done to others, even though it is appropriate to remember Jesus' words, "blessed are the peacemakers."
Are there any hidden characters in Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper?
Is the Supper True? That is not an answer!
Why did Jesus eat in the upper room of Jerusalem?
The Holy-day of Passover originated in Egypt. The Israelites were commanded by God to keep this feast day every year (which many did not do). Most of the people had homes they lived in and this is where they celebrated the Passover feast. Person's who had no homes, like Jesus had to find a place to hold the Passover feast. Some people were invited into other people's homes to celebrate the feast. Jesus sent some of His disciples to find a suitable place for their Passover meal. The upper room is the place they found. This Passover feast turned out differently for Jesus and His 12 disciples and has came to be know as the "Last Supper". See Matthew 26:17-19; Mark 14:12-16; Luke 22:1-38; John, chapters 13 & 14.
How many times is praise mentioned in the Bible?

Can the Last Supper be compared to pagan traditions?
Burton L. Mack (Who Wrote the New Testament: The Making of the Christian Myth) believes that the format of the Last Supper and its re-enactment by the early Christians actually reflect a pre-Christian tradition. The Hellenistic period saw the emergence of free associations that took the form of clubs or fellowships. These followed the pattern of gathering for meals, conducting business and engaging in social activity. It was customary for an association to take the name of a patron deity ("The Fellowship of Hercules"; "The Company of Dionysos") and to acknowledge the purpose of its gathering by making some reference to the god at an appropriate juncture. At the beginning of the meal was one such appropriate moment. Another was when a round of wine was poured and toasts were to be made. It was then that a small libation to the god was in order and some form of invocation could be uttered.
The apostle Paul, who seems unaware of the details of the life of Jesus of Nazareth, writes in 1 Corinthians11:23-25 of a tradition he had "received" and passed onto the Corinthians at some earlier time:
"That the Lord Jesus on the night he was handed over took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, "This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me." In the same way also the cup, after supper, saylng, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it in remembrance of me."
Mack believes that it is arguable that this earliest reference to the Last Supper was inspired by the Hellenistic associations. Decades later, the author of Mark's Gospel placed it in the context of the Jewish Passover.
