I say you are fooling yourself into believing that the wafer is physically anything other than a wafer.

Christ would say, "This is MY BODY".

Hmmm, what you say, or what Christ says...what to choose...that's a toughie. Thanks for your opinion, but no thanks, I think I'll stick with the words of Our Lord.

but when you bow down before the wafer and worship it as God, then you have traversed the divide between true Christianity and idolatry.

But since Christ Himself has said it is His Body, those who do not adore will have a lot of "splaining" to do at judgment.

[P-Marlowe]

Christ would say, "This is MY BODY".

He also said he was a door. Do you worship the door to your church?

He also said he was the true vine. Do you bow before grapes?

He also said that he was the good shepherd and that we are sheep. Does that mean that while we appear to be human, we have really been transubstantiated into sheep?

You Catholics seem to take only this one reference literally and you tend to allegorize nearly every other verse in the Bible -- especially those which contradict your peculiar unbliblical doctrines.

Christ did say that this was his body... then they ate it. He was still sitting there, wasn't he? or did he disappear into their gastric tract?
