Could you define what is meant by the “Real Presence”? Also, Scriptural support would be greatly appreciated.
The Real Presence is the doctrine that Christ is really present in the elements of the Eucharist, rather than is symbolized or memorialized by them.
The Real Presence doctrine leaves this as a mystery, while Transsubstantiation attempts to attach certain aristotelian logic to it in order to explain it, namely that the substance of bread and wine changes at the consecration while the appearance does not change. The scripture leaves the Real Presence unexplained.
The scriptural support for it is in the words of Christ at the last supper, in all the synoptic Gospels, and repeated by St. Paul: “This is my body, etc.”. Real Presence is not any kind of theological elaboration on them, but simply a literal reading of these words. The literal reading is also reinforced by the discourse in John 6, where the question of literal giving of flesh to eat is raised and answered.
