But the Eucharist is the sign that Christ is with us, as he promised. Behind the veil is Christ in glory. By this means we are made present at his sacrifice. If the invisible Lord God could be present with Israel in the desert, why not also with us by a visible sign? If the Holy Spirit can speak to us from the pages of a book, why not in the form of bread and wine? If the Holy Spirit can bring forth a man from the Virgin, why not from bread and wine?

The fact that God can do something does not imply that He did that thing.

According to Scripture, worshiping the Eucharist is idolatry and a complete misunderstanding of the Lord's Supper and Christ's perfect, one-time, accomplished sacrifice on the cross for all the sins of His flock.
