How can you be “guilty” of the Body and Blood of the Lord if there is no Real Presence?

Verse says, 'examine yourself'...

Jesus says, 'break the bread' to remember my broken body...Jesus says, 'drink the cup' to remember His shed blood...

His life, He has given for us, if we repent and turn to Him...

If we participate in 'communion' without repenting, or without examining ourselves, we are as guilty as those that hung Him on the Cross...We are unworthy to claim victory in Jesus...THAT is the 'being guilty of the body and blood...

Look, no one at the Crucifixion went up and licked His ankles or 'gnawed' at His feet...If Jesus was literal, and His disciples believed He was speaking literally when he said 'whoever eats this flesh will have eternal life, I would have run right up there and got my fill of His flesh before it was sealed in the tomb...Would have been nothing left but a skeleton...

Even if you guys may not have spiritual discernment, what happened to that God given common sense???

Nice try, but it still breaks down in light of the Discourses on the Bread of Life in John Chapter 6.
