Calvin absolutely rejected the Eucharist as the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ and in doing so sided with the GNOSTICS as opposed to the Apostolic Faith believed always and everywhere. indeed, nothing new under the sun.

You don’t have any clue what you’re talking about. Transubstantiation is not a historical doctrine. Even Jesus, who ate the bread and drank the wine, which you say was his own flesh and blood, called it what it was.

Please don’t ping me with silly assertions I’ve refuted with other posters.

I don’t think it’s entirely correct or fair to dismiss “high receptionism” as gnostic. At least not utterly off-hand. It has been characterized as “real presence in the believer “ and while I think it wrong, I think it’s a worthy attempt.
