Jesus said, “This is my Body.” He also said, “I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” John 6:51.
He also said, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.” John 6:53-56
Do you not believe Jesus’ own words?
So what if all we see is bread and wine? I should think the Creator of the world could be present under the appearance of bread and wine if He wanted to. He is God, after all. Just because it LOOKS like bread and wine, doesn’t mean it IS.
Sure I do...But Jesus also said He talks in parables while in mixed company...And He was in mixed company...
