Don't try to twist words around once we have pained to define them for you. Jesus "appeared" as a man. Yet His substance was that of man and God hypostatically united.

You are not asserting merely that God is in the bread.

You are asserting that the bread is God.

Isn't that true?

No, it isn't true. You need to study more. How many times will you need to be told, how many links must you be given?

We are claiming that God is God. Not that "bread is God" or that "God is bread."

The word "trasnsubstantiation" was not chosen on a lark. It means something. It means the substance changes.

If the substance changes from bread to God, there is no longer any "bread" to talk about. It is gone. It ceases to exist. What was once bread is now the Body of Christ.
