That's what Catholics believe, not what other Christians believe.
You can't selectively separate the segments of the verses to fit your prejudices.
It has nothing to do with prejudices. Jesus flesh was human flesh, and eating of human flesh and drinking of blood are forbidden in the bible. God doesn't command us not to do something then command that we do it (especially to celebrate Him).
Jesus said, "This IS my Body".
Yes, and when He said that to the disciples, He had not yet gone to the cross. Seems pretty clear it was symbolic to me.
And the REAL Church has believed that from day one.
If they truly believe that the bread and wine turned into human flesh and blood, they were mistaken.
Protestants have forgotten that Jesus IS God
Uh, no we haven't.
and if he wants to make parts of His Body look like bread and wine, He can certainly do so.
God is Spirit. The flesh Jesus inhabited when He walked the earth was human. God has no flesh other than that.
The change can happen either at the atomic or sub-atomic level, and the surface appearance would still be bread and wine.
You may believe that. Other Christians don't.
Forbidden in the Old Testament. Jesus gave us a new Covenant. And that one specifically tells us (repeatedly) but in hiw own words, and the words of his Apostles, to gnaw his flesh, which is given in the form of bread and wine.
"Yes, and when He said that to the disciples, He had not yet gone to the cross/"
How, specifically, does the fact that He "had not yet gone to the Cross" have anything to do with it?? He performed all his other miracles before having "gone to the cross".
"God is Spirit. The flesh Jesus inhabited when He walked the earth was human. God has no flesh other than that."
Uh, Jesus, after death, had (and has) a very real body. How otherwise could the Apostle Thomas have put his hand into Jesus side??
But as I said, Protestants don't REALLY believe what the Bible says--only the parts that happen to agree with their prejudices.
