Actually, in the context that we are discussing, Jesus says that the fruit of the vine is His blood.

No he didn't...In the context Jesus said the fruit of the vine which he called blood is still the fruit of the vine...

Jesus said the cup is the blood...Then Jesus said the cup is the testament in his blood...And lastly, Jesus calls it the fruit of the vine...

Just as the apostle Paul acknowledges that the bread,,,is bread and the wine is wine...

It's interesting, or should be that Jesus never said the bread and wine continued to look and taste like bread and wine but it was really flesh and blood...That's a Catholic thing...Not a Jesus thing...Jesus never said anything about the substance of those things changing while the appearance and characteristics stayed the same...

If Jesus was being literal, there should have been a slab of flesh and a cask of blood sitting there...All that transubstantiation stuff was made up by your religion since it could not change bread and wine into flesh and blood...

AMAZING...for 1,600 years ALL Christians believed in transubstantiation....and here you are to finally clear all that stuff up.

Now I have to make up my mind as to believe the church or you.....O.K., I did it...
