Did the apostles eat the real , actual, physical flesh and blood of Christ at the last supper??
I believe Jesus when He said “This is My Body”
Paul tells us Jesus felt so strongly about this doctrine He personally taught it to him.
Ignatius tells us the Gnostics did not take the Eucharist because they did not believe it to be the flesh of Jesus Christ. ( it seems the doctrine was “folly” to them )
the question is why you hold to the gnostic belief over Jesus, Paul and Ignatius.
did you ever wonder why Jesus didn’t say “this represents my body” rather than “This is My Body”?
i assume there was a word like “represents” in Aramaic.
