Tell me, is he nuts, is he a liar? Or is He God?, and He is telling you the Truth."
I believe all of what Jesus said. And, He is God.
You, however, are missing the point of my post. I said it is a unreasonable leap to go from what Jesus is literally saying to, "What He really meant was, 'From now on, a special man in a special role should lift up a piece of bread and a goblet of wine, speak some words over it, and that will transubstantiate the common materials into my actual body and my actual blood and then all the people in the audience who belong to the RCC may eat my actual body and drink my actual blood. And, you should do this over and over and over, again.'"
Wherein does the RCC gather the justification to make this leap? "Do this in remembrance of me" is simply a request to break bread & drink wine in remembrance of Him. It is you, my FRiend, who appears not to be able to let Him speak.
Then why did St. Paul write this?
1 Corinthians 11:27 “Therefore whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord.”
How can you be guilty of a symbol?
