"Do you believe the wafer is God?"

ROTFL.

I believe Jesus Christ who said:

Luke 22:19 And taking bread, he gave thanks and brake and gave to them, saying: This is my body, which is given for you. Do this for a commemoration of me.
Luke 22:20 In like manner, the chalice also, after he had supped, saying: This is the chalice, the new testament in my blood, which shall be shed for you.

I do not believe someone who claims what Jesus Christ said in Luke 22:19 and 22:20 is not true and worships their own Most High and Holy Self whether such an individual is substituting the word 'wafer' for the word 'bread' in an attempt to avoid a direct quotation of Jesus Christ or routinely substituting their own personal interpretation of Scripture for the Word of God by claiming, "that's what Scripture says, but that's not what it means". And I especially would not believe anyone so dull and unfamiliar with His Word that they cannot understand the difference between a portion of a thing and the thing itself in it's entirety.

Anyone who cares to can deny the deity of Christ and in doing so, prove they are not Christian no matter what they may chose to call themselves. Such folks are more often than not already blind to such an extent that they cannot understand His Word and cannot stop worshiping their own Most High and Holy Self because they've already been given over to a reprobate mind. Given that such folks have been shown the Truth of His Word on multiple occasions and on every one of those occasions have refused to accept His Word as true:

Titus 3:9 but avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law. For they are unprofitable and vain.
Titus 3:10 A man that is a heretic, after the first and second admonition, avoid:
Titus 3:11 Knowing that he, that is such an one, is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned by his own judgment.

Unless and until such an individual surrenders to Christ, showing them the Truth in the Scriptures is just throwing pearls before swine.

Asked you whether you believe that the wafer is God. It’s a yes or no answer. If you do not believe the wafer is God are you denying Christ? What’s so hard? Are you denying Christ like Peter did? Or is the wafer not really God?
