“As I noted above, Paul refers to Jesus as the paschal lamb, which every Jew understood was killed, had its blood sprinkled, and was eaten.”

Protestants believe Jesus is the New Covenant paschal lamb of God but they stop there. In the Old Covenant, the Passover Lamb was consumed. Much greater the New Covenant, yes? We consume God Himself! This is God’s plan. How humble of God.
When the Great Warning happens, knock yourself over, the
facts, the Truth we’ve been discussing in thread after
thread, you’ll say, oh my gosh!!!...it’s true.
I think it's hard to make a blanket statement about protestants because their beliefs are so diverse. I remember going to a Methodist church some years ago and at their Christmas Eve communion service, the minister said a prayer in which he said he was consecrating the bread and wine into Christ's real body and blood. He wasn't talking about anything symbolic. I about fell out of the pew. It was a total heartache on so many levels!
