boatbums - “ no mention is made about the bread and wine being transubstantiated into the body and blood of Jesus”
For we do not receive these things as common bread or common drink; but as Jesus Christ our Savior being incarnate by Gods Word took flesh and blood for our salvation, so also we have been taught that the food consecrated by the Word of prayer which comes from him, from which our flesh and blood are nourished by transformation, is the flesh and blood of that incarnate Jesus. Justin Martyr’s response.
Matthew 28 - “teaching them to observe all things I have commanded you”
2 Thessalonians - “stand firm and hold to the traditions you were taught”
Justin Martyr - “so also we have been taught”
Jesus commands the Church to teach, Paul teaches, Justin receives the teaching and passes along the teaching.....and so on........til the present day.
