I know lots of Catholics and none are blood drinkers.

Don't they take communion? Doesn't the Catholic church teach that the cup becomes the literal blood of Christ? Catholics even quote out of John 6 to support it.

Uh, uh, uh, even our Christian brethern in the traditional Anglican Church believe in the True Presence. Even our Christian brethern in orthodox Lutheran churches like the LCMS etc. believe in the sacramental union, that the body and blood of Jesus are present "in, with and under" the forms of bread and wine

Do you malign them too?

see, seesac, these are what should have been properly called anti-Christians (wagglebee called them anti-Catholics). They will attack Catholics, and when there are no Catholics on the thread, they will attack Christian Protestants -- like this thread that say "It's disappointing to think that the Satanic doctrines of Arminianism " and attacking Methodists by saying "because Wesley preached the Gospel of Satan."

These folks are anti-Christians who seek to spread their hate as they don't believe in a God of love but a being of hate.

We drink wine, not blood. The term “substance” which forms part of transubstantiation was "spiritualized" by the Council of Nicaea in reference to the relationship between the Father and the Son in the Holy Trinity. So under the appearance of bread and wine, the underlying reality is the body and blood of Christ. We accept that under the reality of how bread appears to us, the physical reality is the atomic and subatomic that God has created. If He can maintain this "substance" through his creative power," why cannot the Lord Jesus keep his promise to be with us in this special way of keeping his promises by actually becoming our spiritual food as well as our physical food. ? Certainly this notion is no odder than the one that God can become man.
