This doesn't make sense to me. But the reason to share the article is at the bottom.
As a Christian who accepts critical scholarship, one of the things I find so remarkable is the unanimous scholarly acceptance of what are called the Authentic Letters of Paul. Doubt what you want, skeptics, about the Bible, but scholars really do believe there was a Paul, and he wrote letters about Jesus.This strongly supports the view that Paul was the inventor of the Eucharist. Paul did not simply “invent” the Eucharist by borrowing the rite from the pagan mystery religions, however. He created it from some imagined, deluded “vision” from what he thought was the heavenly Jesus (whether this “vision” was a mere dream or oral and visual hallucination we cannot say).
And thus, all the more remarkable, this statement that Paul couldn't have "Invented," the Eucharist. It came from a vision.
They call it a delusion. But it seems like the acceptance that it was a vision can just as likely have been a real revelation.
The only reason to not accept it as a revelation is the denial of the miraculous like materialists do. But "delusion" is not the only option.
I find this fascinating.
