I always figured that when Jesus says "This is My Body," you can either say,

• "No, it's not", or
• "Amen."

Now I see there''s a third response:

• "Ha, what a dumb heresy."

And what makes you think Jesus ate these consecrated elements? Scripture says He "gave them to His disciples." But if you want to make things up in order to ridicule His sacred gift of Himself --- well, I'm sure you're neither the first nor the last. There have always been mockers. In post-Christian cultures it's almost incessant.

It says he won’t drink “no more” of the fruit of the vine (His blood):

Mar 14:24-25 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many. (25) Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.

Apparently he intends to drink it in the Kingdom of God too. His own blood!

By the way... is the cup of the fruit of the vine... HIS BLOOD.. or is it “the fruit of the vine?”

Repost. My last one had an unnecessary “won’t” that undid my intended meaning:

Jesus also said he was a lamb. And a door. Jesus did use metaphor to explain who He was and what He did.

Let’s reflect on the death and resurrection of Jesus, and not get sidetracked thinking that we’re munching on Jesus’ skin. It’s about the efficacy of Jesus’ work on the cross, not about our eating His skin or muscle.
