So remind me again of the protestant excuse for taking the thrice mentioned "born again" literally, while figuratively understanding "this is my body" ...mentioned five times.

Perhaps you mean "taking 'born again' spiritually," not literally. No one relives childbirth, thank God.

Since Scripture interprets Scripture, we find Scriptural support for the Christian's spiritual rebirth and for the spiritual understanding of the Lord's Supper -- "Do this in remembrance of me."

"Born again" is not a repetition of "born." It's its own term.

Where does scripture tell you to interpret "this is my body?"

P.S.

Where does scripture say to interpret scripture by scripture?
