No, I am not “incorrect.”

Paul uses the term “bread” to describe what people eat during Communion: “For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.”

Now, do you really believe that consuming literal flesh (which Jesus pronounced as being “of no value”) is more important than participating in the real (and Spiritual) body of Christ? You settle for of-no-value flesh, when you could taste and see that the Lord (who is Spirit) is good? You don’t want MORE than mere of-no-value flesh?

I do. I want to participate in the body of Christ, to be clothed in Christ, to have Christ dwell within me. No, not in bloody fleshly terms (yuck!), but in glorious and Spiritual reality.

Scripture says you are incorrect on that matter.

the majority of Christians believe in the True Presence in the Eucharist -- and that includes Protestants (Lutherans etc) as well as orthodoxy (Catholics, Orthodox, Orientals, Assyrians). And that's what the majority have always believed, so this belief of yours is an innovation dating back only a few centuries and is thoroughly unscriptural.
