I’ll ask again, on what premises besides Scripture do you base your opinion?

I stand on the foundation laid by Christ and built through His Apostles, Martyrs, Saints and Doctors of the Church.

Now... I'll ask again: What did Christ serve the Apostles at the Last Supper? Was it His Body and Blood or bread and wine?

>”I stand on the foundation laid by Christ and built through His Apostles, Martyrs, Saints and Doctors of the Church.”

That’s rather general. But let’s say that I say it is a metaphor and you say it means there is a literal transubstantiation. On what basis can you say I’m wrong? I would only say that neither you nor any other human being can prove it, and what difference does it make?

Actually it could not be his actual body or blood for that would be cannibalism.
The Occult do those things, actual eating of human flesh or drinking human blood.

What Jesus said, is ? DO THIS in " remembrance of me " for this is the " blood " of the New Covenant, and his body was broken for us.
When ever we take communion it's a time to remember what he did for us, it's a " Spiritual " thing.

After Christ and the apostles you're on shaky ground. Not all of the "doctors of the church" were in agreement on what they wrote about. In fact, some of the things they wrote fly against the written Word.

Now... I'll ask again: What did Christ serve the Apostles at the Last Supper? Was it His Body and Blood or bread and wine?

Luke 22:14-20

14When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table.

15And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.

16For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.”

17After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among you.

18For I tell you I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”

19And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”

20In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

Paul in 1 Corinthians 11:23-27

23For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread,

24and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.”

25In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.”

26For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

27So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord.

The bread and wine are symbols of His body and blood.
