Are you even serious, or are spinning up random incoherence for your own amusement?

THIS IS MY BODY, THIS IS MY BLOOD. HE doesn't say "this is regular bread/wine." HE says that it is HIS body and blood.

“THIS IS MY BODY, THIS IS MY BLOOD. HE doesn’t say “this is regular bread/wine.” HE says that it is HIS body and blood.”


A perfectly appropriate way to speak for a Jew, as they also said “this is the Passover of the Lord,” even though they were only speaking of the celebration of the Passover.

Unless you imagine that Christ was there drinking and eating his own blood and flesh, and will continue to do so in heaven with the Apostles.

Mat 26:27-29 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; (28) For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. (29) But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.

That was his real body, eh??? Did Jesus scream when they ripped his body apart before they ate it???

In Matthew’s account, it says that he took levened bread, not a lump of flesh; the sayings are spiritual in nature, not catholic witchcraft.
