I have no idea what you mean by that.

The Lutheran understanding is that it’s all of the above. Bread and body. Wine and blood.

You apparently think something else, but I really don’t understand what you’re trying to get at.

Explain?

You don't understand?
 
You guys are trying to say that SOMEHOW (insert hundreds, thousands of words of speculation here) the wafer and wine BECOME an actual extention of Christ's fleshly body and His lifegiving blood; yet Paul does NOT describe them the same.
 
If the phrases mean the same thing; thing switch them in the sentence:
 
 “So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord.”
 
 “So then, whoever eats  the body or drinks the blood  of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against  the bread and  the cup of the Lord."
