I have a project for you dear Brother.
Prove to all of us that the Eucharist is not Jesus truly present?
He dwells at the right hand of the Father. Also the Holy Spirit provides the temple in the body of the believer for the indwelling of the Son and the Father in each believer during the Church Age.
Rather than attempting to bring Christ down to man, let's lift ourselves up by being presentable to Him through faith in Christ and studying those doctrines. They may help in discerning the doctrines of indwelling and discernment between body, soul and spirit in the reborn believer.
Catholicism offers some outstanding doctrines which many other branches of the church have not fully promoted and taught. For example, perhaps our Catholic brethren coul assist in teaching more about the doctrine of Kenosis which many reformed brethrenn haven't fully studied.
Sorry.
I decline that project.
It is not an issue that is central to my Salvation nor my walk with God.
I find it unnecessarily devisive.
I tend to have a pretty strong policy taht where there are Scriptures which can be logically taken 2 or more ways, they are probably not about issues which God will expect us to divide company over.
I prefer to love and respect Protestants and Roman Believers on both sides of that issue.
Personally, I REMEMBER Christ in The Lord's Supper. That seemed to be HIS FOCUS. Whether He was speaking in metaphorical terms or literalist terms, I cannot absolutely insist for certain. I believe they were metaphorical terms.
However, I do partake in an attitude and a revererance akin to the awe and respect I'd have were transubstantiation a fact.
I do believe that Christ is greatly grieved over the devisiveness of the issue--probably more so than He cares that much which interpretation is taken.
I THINK IT IS FAR MORE IMPORTANT that each OF US members of HIS BODY relate to ONE ANOTHER AS MEMBERS OF THE SAME BODY IN LOVE AND HUMBLE SERVICE, SUBMISSION, ONE TO ANOTHER AS HOLY SPIRIT LEADS.
I thinik that's greatly more importan a set of issues.
