Well you can certainly be a jelly doughnut if you want to...
Would you take Jesus literally if He said you are a refrigerator??? Or What if Jesus told you that you were an oak tree???
Problem with your jelly roll fantasy is that while Jesus said He was actual meat and drink, He not only didn't tell any of you how to turn a little cracker and a glass of wine into HIS flesh and blood but Jesus never told you to even attempt to try such a thing...
To deny Christ's authority to pronounce reality and existence is to deny his deity.
Riiiiight...You guys don't believe the gates of hell mean the gates of hell...You claim keys of the Kingdom of God mean power...
You don't believe a thousand years means a thousand years...You don't believe 'after his kind' means after his kind and a million other statements God said...So spare me the drama...
To ignore Christ's statements of John 6 and refuse to "interpret scripture by scripture" in understanding the events of The Last Supper is to deny the body and blood of Christ.
According to your religion's private interpretation of Scripture, maybe...How many times have you mocked the idea of comparing scripture with scripture???
If the one who called the universe into existence says you are those things, that's what you are.
Jesus is "right" by definition.
He not only didn't tell any of you how to turn a little cracker and a glass of wine into HIS flesh and blood but Jesus never told you to even attempt to try such a thing...
What part of "do this" is so hard to grasp?

We aren't the ones who advertise we're bound by scripture alone, then scream like offended Pharisees when that's proven false. It's not our standard of interpretation you guys can't live up to...it's your own.
Protestants just can't stand it when we take the scriptures more seriously than THEY do, because it shows they are no better than they claim we are...and with a whole lot less "seniority!"

I don't know. I've lost count of the number of times protestants have tried to use that little trick like it was an actual command of scripture to justify their contrivances.
