That through His disciples adhering to and maintaining this ordained custom often, that all men everywhere would be reminded that the Person Jesus was/is God come in the flesh, God Present with us as a human in a human body, until He comes back and is again physically seen in the flesh, at which time the Remembrance Supper would be utterly superfluous.
All this attempt to make bread and grape juice something changed, holy, mysterious, manipulated only by some selected cult leaders for their power over credulous ignoramuses is simply just puff, a product of a system meant to snare gullible slaves to be constantly milked of their substance by simony.
And that's what setting up a power stucture over indivduals and external to their local churches is all about. Arguing over consubstantiation and transubstantiation only serves to give these theories the aura of Scriptural legitimacies, which they do not deserve.
I say, if some people in a free society wish to serve the purveyors of these irrational systems, let them do so, until common sense takes charge. But do not keep on arguing with them if they persist despite godly counsel. At that point, arguing with a closed mind is a waste of time when there are others that long to hear the wonderful words of life.
For me, goin
"And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD" (Joshua 244:15 AV).
Believing on the Lord Jesus Christ, and assembling with a local autonomous immersionist Bible-believing Christ-serving fellowship is not all that too difficult; and if it doesn't exist, to start it with other true believers seeking reality in their life with God.

Your comment: “All this attempt to make bread and grape juice something changed, holy, mysterious, manipulated only by some selected cult leaders for their power over credulous ignoramuses is simply just puff, a product of a system meant to snare gullible slaves to be constantly milked of their substance by simony.” Your comment is NOT the truth.
The words of Jesus “This is my Body” “This is my Blood” is the TRUTH.
You can either follow Jesus with the Truth or not. Attempting to rationalize the words of Jesus is not truthful and leads to rejecting Jesus.
I truly hope that you find God’s Truth and follow it.
