Thank you- that is the relevant Scripture.
How do we get from the wafer and the wine, though?
We ( the P’s) accept this symbolically. We are participants in the death and resurrection of Christ. We identify with Him in the process, which some of us would argue includes Him going to Hell for us in the process.
Transubstantiation asserts that the wafer becomes His Flesh, and the wine His blood.
We(I) would say that the difficult part is the Identification, where we as believers must die to ourselves, in order to apprehend Christ’s sacrifice.
Thanks again, as I am but a journeyer..
Indeed. Paul knew this to be True:
23 For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.27 So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. 28 Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. 29 For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves. 30 That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep. 31 But if we were more discerning with regard to ourselves, we would not come under such judgment. 32 Nevertheless, when we are judged in this way by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be finally condemned with the world.
