AUGUSTINE “Christ was carried in his Own Hands when, referring to His Own Body, he said, ‘This is My Body’ [Matt. 26:26]. For he carried that Body in His Hands” (Explanations of the Psalms 33:1:10 [A.D. 405]).Ah, a little knowledge is indeed a dangerous thing.
I suggest a little more research into Tertullian that isn’t misquotes and misunderstandings posted by an anti Catholic agenda.
Here is good place to start, if you want that is...

Your passages from Ezekial and Jeremiah, do not contradict the Eucharist. In fact they foreshadow and confirm it.
As for Augustine...Did you even read where that passage was piecemealed together from? Or do you just accept without further investigation that what you posted is all that was said by Augustine? I don’t know where you got that quote, but it has been put together by someone wishing to make it seem to say exactly the opposite of what Augustine wrote.
Augustine here is speaking about people like YOU! People who ask the stupid question over and over again about feeling hunger after eating His body and Blood.
If you are going to try to use early fathers to support your unbelief, at the very least you should read them first to be sure they are saying what you so desperately need to think they say.
Ditto for Origen.
Stupid question? Catholics take one portion and take it literally and then the next portion they claim isn’t and we ask a question, which by the way Catholics never answer, and it’s a stupid question? Catholics use what they want literelly and what doesn’t fit their meme they try to explain away allegorically. It’s disingenuous at best and a dishonest attempt at control.
Time after time scripture has been shown to Catholics that Christ was not talking about physical flesh during the last supper but Catholics deny it.
