Since you insisted in denying the Body of Christ, the term wafer was used (since you’re clearly comfortable with it) when explaining how the Lord is not IN a wafer, but rather what you call a wafer IS the Lord’s Body. Wow, you managed to point out the danger when talking down to an audience who pretends they don’t know better...

I’m denying the Body of Christ because I refuse to believe unbiblical heresy? Nah.

Consider the words of the Apostle Paul 1 Cor:11:23-28:

For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes. Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. But a man must examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

Paul calls the bread ... bread! And what is in the cup? Is it blood? No, Paul records Jesus as saying that this cup is “the new covenant IN My blood.” And it’s taken “in remembrance” of Jesus.

We proclaim Jesus’ death by eating the BREAD (to use Jesus’ words and Paul’s words). You can say you’re eating Jesus’ skin, but I’ll defer to Jesus and Paul, who called it ... wait for it ... wait for it ... “bread.”
