Did Jesus and the apostles eat the real, actual flesh and drink the real actual blood of Christ at the Last supper?

No, Jesus did not said:Matthew 26:27 Then he took a cup, [The Passover cups never had blood in them, always just wine} and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. [The disciples would immediately understand relating to the Passover Seder of drinking the wine as a memorial USING WINE NOT THE BLOOD OF THE SACRIFICE, for in the Seder the wine is specifically spoken of as symbol of the blood of the sacrifice for their deliverance from the death Angel] 29 I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine [RIGHT there Jesus tells you that what is in the cup is wine!] from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.” There is a huge difference that we must comprehend if we are to stop this faux Eucharist and do as Christ Instructed, do this bread and wine as a Remembrance of His death, as Paul explained so succinctly.

The Remembrance Jesus instituted is a part of the Passover Seder no longer prefigured with the Passover, but actualized in the death upon the cross.

“you find that easy enough to dismiss” Actually, yes, it is easy enough to show that the material in the cup was wine, not blood, since Jesus HMSELF said so, as the LAws forbade (Lev 3:17), and as the Passover which they were in the midst of celebrating, taught for generations prior to The Christ coming to be with us. Mixing the scene in John 6 with the actual establishment of the remembrance the night before His death is a sure way to keep you confused. I wonder who wants that, wants you confused so that you continue to believe you eat Jesus IN ANY FORM in order to have God’s Life in you? Who wants to mock the death of Jesus as the propitiation for my sins and yours? Who wants to use people with sincere hearts toward God, to mock God’s Grace? Yup, the evil one, the accuser of the brethren, the one of sin and lawlessness.

He also said he is a gate. Does He have hinges on his flank?

Surely the Magisterium knows of the dispute over what is is Literal and what is Metaphorical in the Bible.

Are there any writings on just HOW it is determined which is which?
