If Christ really wanted people to eat His flesh and drink His blood, don't you think the last supper would have been an ideal time for them to consume them?

Christ intended we eat His flesh and drink His blood in exactly the manner He instructed us at the Last Supper.

“Christ intended we eat His flesh (bread) and drink His blood (wine)in exactly the manner He instructed us at the Last Supper. “

Good. We agree.

Just like Paul pointed out to the Corinthians....let's not chow down and leave nothing for your fellow Christan. That is not brotherly love. But celebrate the Lord in breaking of BREAD and WINE to symbolize the Lord provides sustenance for the body and cleansing of sins for the spirit. Would have been a good time in that letter to point out and expand upon the GRAND sacredness of the bread actually becoming Christ's flesh. He doesn't. He merely repeats what Christ said. Paul doesn't expand and explain what would surely be such a huge issue if people were pigging out on Christ's flesh, only reiterates Christ's statement about how Christ satisfies OUR flesh and spirit.

Give us this day our daily bread.....

.....If a sparrow won't fall without God caring and the flowers of the field are arrayed in splendor, won't the Lord care for your needs as well?
