I just don't have a CLUE how it cold be ANY CLEARER of what Jesus SAID!!
All...ALL Protestant religions came AFTER the Catholic religion because the RULES to follow are too hard for some. I have a list of the names of men and the dates that all other Christian religions were started. I'm not begrudging you your religion, I';m just stating facts.
It makes no sense for Jesus to have literally meant it was his body and blood. When Christ does miracles of tranforming food, it is visible. We see it. We see no change at all in the blessed items. And, again, if you have studied any English, this is ____ is a very common metaphor structure.
There is simply no exegesis that requires it be a literal meaning.
