Stfassisi:
1. The body needs physical food in order to survive or else it will die. True
2. The spiritual soul needs spiritual food in order to avoid spiritual death, the separation from GOD. False
3. Spiritual food cannot be a symbolic gesture, simply because a mere symbol could not possibly feed the spiritual soul. True
4. Scripture tells us that there will be offered sacrifice every day in every place, a clean oblation. ???
5. The bread come down from heaven, Jesus Christ, is that clean oblation propiation, His sacrifice on the cross. True
6. Jesus Christ was sacrificed once on the cross for all eternity. True
7. Jesus Christ is both the High Priest and was the victim, the Paschal Lamb of sacrifice.True
8. Since He is High Priest forever (Heb 7:17), He is also the sacrificial Lamb forever who was slain (Rev 5:13-14). True
9. Since GOD is outside of time, everything is now with Him. That one sacrifice at Calvary, which is always now for GOD, is made present for us during the Eucharistic celebration of the Mass.False
10. The Mass is a re-presentation memorial of that one sacrifice. We are re-presented were present at Calvary. True

Every single Early Church Father(Not a single exception!) believed that Jesus is truly present-Body ,Blood, Soul and Divinity in Eucharist Orthodox: Receive Him under the forms of bread and wine; I think they believe it is repugnant to eat "real" human flesh and drink "real" human blood.

Presbyterian: Partake of the visible elements, then, inwardly receive spiritually, and feed on Christ crucified. Transubstantiation is repugnant not only to Scripture but to common sense and reason.

Eucharist Miracle of Betania, Venezula (Actual Video)

Eucharist Miracle at Lanciano, Italy 8th Century A.D.

http://www.therealpresence.org/eucharst/mir/lanciano.html
Excerpt:
Ancient Anxanum, the city of the Frentanese, has contained for over twelve centuries the first and greatest Eucharistic Miracle of the Catholic Church. This wondrous Event took place in the 8th century A.D. in the little Church of St. Legontian, as a divine response to a Basilian monk’s doubt about Jesus’ Real Presence in the Eucharist.

During Holy Mass, after the two-fold consecration, the host was changed into live Flesh and the wine was changed into live Blood, which coagulated into five globules, irregular and differing in shape and size.

The Host-Flesh, as can be very distinctly observed today, has the same dimensions as the large host used today in the Latin church; it is light brown and appears rose-colored when lighted from the back.

The Blood is coagulated and has an earthy color resembling the yellow of ochre.

Various ecclesiastical investigation (”Recognitions”) were conducted since 1574.

In 1970-’71 and taken up again partly in 1981 there took place a scientific investigation by the most illustrious scientist Prof. Odoardo Linoli, eminent Professor in Anatomy and Pathological Histology and in Chemistry and Clinical Microscopy. He was assisted by Prof. Ruggero Bertelli of the University of Siena.

The analyses were conducted with absolute and unquestionable scientific precision and they were documented with a series of microscopic photographs.
These analyses sustained the following conclusions:

The Flesh is real Flesh. The Blood is real Blood.

The Flesh and the Blood belong to the human species.

The Flesh consists of the muscular tissue of the heart.

In the Flesh we see present in section: the myocardium, the endocardium, the vagus nerve and also the left ventricle of the heart for the large thickness of the myocardium.

The Flesh is a “HEART” complete in its essential structure.

The Flesh and the Blood have the same blood-type: AB (Blood-type identical to that which Prof. Baima Bollone uncovered in the Holy Shroud of Turin).

In the Blood there were found proteins in the same normal proportions (percentage-wise) as are found in the sero-proteic make-up of the fresh normal blood.

In the Blood there were also found these minerals: chlorides, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, sodium and calcium.

The preservation of the Flesh and of the Blood, which were left in their natural state for twelve centuries and exposed to the action of atmospheric and biological agents, remains an extraordinary phenomenon.

There are many more...

A VINDICATION OF THE DOCTRINE
THAT THE SACRIFICE OF THE MASS
IS IDOLATRY (1550)
by John Knox

"...In exposing the idolatrous nature of the Mass, Knox stresses that all religious ceremonies and institutions must have clear biblical warrant, if they are to be admitted as valid expressions of worship. All worship invented by man is idolatry. Knox demonstrates that the Mass is a human invention; and, therefore, the Mass is idolatrous. The entire discussion turns upon Knox's defence of the scriptural law of worship..."
