I thought that pretty much every one of the myriad denominations practiced some fairly standard form of observing the Lord’s Supper. So, they are ALL wrong?

You did not answer the question, so I will restate it. Why are churches telling people to participate in symbolizing a sinful act?

Well, there ya go. I don't suppose you would want me to think you do the same things as Pelosi would you? She is after all Catholic. Nope, they don't don.

If they think Christ was talking about His real physical blood they most certainly are. Just as thinking Ezekiel, Jeremiah, and John actually ate the literal physical scroll would be.

I have no idea don. I suppose it depends also on what they are symbolizing. I don't purport to know exactly what each one believes. I can assure you that if they believe it was the literal flesh and blood of Christ the too would have to believe that Jesus sinned against the law.

It's the words, the information that is contained in scripture that is what gives nourishment to the believer. When He said that if we drink of the water He gives that rivers of water would run from our bellies He didn't mean we would literally need to stay next to a water way either.
