. Transubstantiation is the way to explain the Real Presence in philosophical terms. Another way is to simply say that it (the Lord's Supper) is a mystery that cannot be explained.

lol First you say the Lord's Supper is philosophically explainable, and then you say it is a mystery and cannot be explained.

Caught between the proverial papist rock and a hard place. Rome vs. the word of God.

Protestants do not deny "the real presence." The "real presence" of Jesus Christ is spiritual. He is really present at the table spiritually.

Rome does not seem to understand the spiritual things of God, and therefore Rome looks to the material world.

To its shame.

And constant!

We need no present day Pharisee to conjur up our Savior in a biscuit.

We don’t dilute our Savior with prayers to deceased humans.

You can explain the Real Presence in philosophical terms, but you don’t have to, just like one can take advantage of your verbal presence without being able to explain how the Internet works.

Of course you don’t believe in the Real Presence: you don’t think that Jesus’ words “this is my body” were meant literally. In fact, editor-surveyor thinks it’s a “bisquit”.
