oh we do, that's why we believe the literal word in John 6 where Christ inaugurates the Eucharist.

Our Lutheran, Orthodox and Anglican traditional friends believe in the True Presence of Christ in the Eucharist as do we.

Some of those under that wide umbrella term Protestant (which I don't think is a correct term -- see next post) believe in the presence of Christ's body and blood in the Eucharist -- do you?

If not, then why not spend time reading God's written word?

At my Church we DO have the Lord’s Supper — but it is symbolic (as laid out in Scripture), not literal and furthermore has not salvific properties. I have read my Bible and continue to do so — and there is no such tie between the symbolic acts of water Baptism and salvation or the Lord’s Supper and salvation - as some Catholics would claim.
