Still, in the UCC where they think they’re having dinner with the Lord instead of consuming him body, blood, soul, and divinity, using whatever made up liturgy they’re using this week, he wouldn’t be able to confect a real sacrament would he? Trap Jesus into the host? That would be so wrong.

Actually, if over bread he says the words “This is my body”, and over wine he says the words “This is my blood”, and he does so with the intention of consecrating them, then they would, in fact, become the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ. Yes, it would be very wrong to do so under the circumstances you describe, but that’s just proof of how much Jesus loves us, that he would open himself up to such abuse. But isn’t that what he did when he was crucified in the first place? It really isn’t very different from that. That’s why we must treat the Eucharist with such respect and reverence.
