He also gave the first “Last Supper” while He was alive, and His physical body was in tact and His literal blood still coursing through His veins....
Don't put limits on what God can do.
Let's assume, for sake of argument, that Christ wanted us to eat his flesh. When he said 'This is my body" he meant it to mean, This is my body. When he said "unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man you have no live in you" he meant you must eat the flesh of the son of man. When he said, "Do this in remberance of me" he wanted this crazy notion of eating his flesh to continue for generations. So lets assume, for whatever reason, That Christ wanted us to eat his flesh. Christ would have had to create a mechanism for that to happen. His physical body had a limited amount of flesh. His physical body would not have lasted for generations, so he would have had to institute a mechanism for giving us his flesh. Since we know now He was not planning a second coming in a few days, and if he wanted us to eat his flesh, he would have had to create a process to give us his flesh to eat. This is why he created the Eucharist.
Turning bread into his flesh is the way His words make sense.
True.
