I Cor. 11:24-26

The key passage verse 25 "In the same way, after supper he took the cup..."

IOW, they broke bread before supper and then after supper they drank the wine. If the bread and wine were being transformed they would have consumed both one immediately after the other. This was being done "in remembrance" of the sacrifice at Calvary and the new covenant being established. Also the cup and bread were passed, if these Christians thought this was actually the blood of Jesus Christ would they take the chance of spilling it, or dropping pieces of his body on the floor?

The same chance exists today, and on occasion the Precious Body is dropped or the Precious Blood is spilled. If it happens, various methods exist to repair the mishap. The time gap between the taking of one species and another has nothing to do with it.
