I believe a straight forward reading of Scripture shows the bread and wine to be SYMBOLIC

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?

Nowhere,...

Thank you.

You freely admit that nowhere in Scripture does Jesus physically appear in more than one location simultaneously. Yet you believe his BODY & BLOOD appear all over the world simultaneously because your church has a doctrine that says so. IOW, your doctrine is inconsistent with Scripture.

Nope, the Gospels use no such word. Acts [4:10] mentions that He was raised by GOD (not that He rose); the rest of the references to His raising come strictly from +Paul (if you wish to count Acts as non-Pauline) and are always in the passive form, that He was raised by God and not that He rose.

This is clearly in contrast to our Creed (4th century AD) which says

"suffered, and was buried, and the third day he rose again, according [sic] to the Scriptures"
