Well good. Then somehow what Christ said about eating His Body and Blood has to be true, and what he said about His words being Spirit and Life have to be true.
And I believe both are fulfilled quite well in the doctrine of the Eucharist, which is as old as Christianity itself.
Yes, the Eucharist is a very old doctrine. "Old" to us as in "with us from the very beginning." "Old" to the Calvinist as "something cast aside long ago; archaic; tired and discarded."
It's an important distinction, albeit a tragic one.
Yes it is. And as often as we do it, we do it "in remembrance of His sacrifice". Luke 22:19
