You said that, not me

True. But when I asked you,"But who made you an authority over me? Why assume that your Holy Spirit leading is superior to mine?", you replied, "Good question.. Because YOU are a slave to Roman Catholic dogma.. at least some of it.. thats why."

When you reply to a 'Why is X the case?' question with "because ..." you imply that X is indeed the case.

Hearing the Holy Spirit is not a given.. He speaks you can miss it(what he says).. or me.. Who has ears to hear?

So, regarding the interpretation of "This is my body", how do we know who has ears to hear?

What is Christs body, "the bread" or his body(the church)?..
Much metaphor here.. including "ears to hear"..
Christ's body and the church are both metaphor's of the same thing..
The bread and blood are additional metaphors...
Three metaphors with the same message and good news..
