Nowhere in these passages does it indicate that the bread and wine used in communion turns into the literal flesh and blood of Christ. There is no indication that Jesus is not using symbolic language when referring to Himself as the “Living Bread” from Heaven.

Wrong. Wrong in my opinion (and mine is as valid as yours or anyone elses), wrong in the opinion of the Church Fathers, the Apostles and the vast majority of Christendom alive today and from the first Martyr Saint Stephen.
