Apparently so. All I do is read the Gospel. Like the Bereans.
Oooooo....touché
Well then, I’m sure you read Matt. 14:19, “And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. And they did all eat, and were filled:” and Matt. 15:36, “And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. And they did all eat, and were filled” where Jesus took bread, blessed it and broke it and gave it to the multitudes and He ate some since it says they all ate and were filled.
Then of course you read Luke 24:37-43, “But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet. And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. And he took it, and did eat before them.” and John 20:27, “Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing”; the point being Jesus was flesh and bone, not a spirit. He was localized in His body, just as He is now, sitting at the right hand of the Father. It is the Holy Spirit who is here, not Jesus.
Back to the point that the “breaking of bread” was part of the “brotherhood rite”, the symbolic rite of unity and promise. Look at the discussion that took place at the last supper after the “breaking of bread”. It was an argument over who was going to be sitting next to Jesus in the seats of power in the kingdom that was to come; rank ambition. Jesus does not criticize them but points out they will eat and drink with Him in the Kingdom and be rulers over kingdoms appointed to them. He exposed a traitor who had participated in the brotherhood meal, and He deflated the braggadocio of Peter; all of these things after the “breaking of bread”. That sounds more like a frat party than a solemn eating of the actual body of someone who had not died as yet.
