Actually, I am not struggling over this it is very straight forward if your reading without someone else's lens. I don't doubt your sincerity, or that of your fellow RC apologists. I believe a straight forward reading of Scripture shows the bread and wine to be SYMBOLIC, just as the passover celebration is a SYMBOLIC reminder of GOD'S protection of his chosen people.
Nor is it the only scripture that speaks of physical impossibilities. How about “Before Abraham was, I am”?
Are you saying that the preincarnate Jesus was already in human form?
Of course it is not symbolic. "Food indeed" is the straightforward reading. We've been there three times already on this thread alone.
Are you saying that the preincarnate Jesus was already in human form?
Of course not, -- we are given the incarnation story. Still, the phrase puzzled the Pharisees.
JESUS physically being in more than one place simultaneously?
Nowhere, but why is this all of a sudden a requirement? He walked on water, raised the dead, walked through walls, rose from the grave, but bilocation is what strains credulity?
