1Co 11:28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

Mystery is solved...

Sola Scriptura = Your personal interpretation of Scripture is the sole rule of faith.

St. Paul explains that what appears to be bread is the Body of Christ. The language couldn't be more plain.

So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves. That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep [i.e., died].
The same belief was held by the next generation of Christians.
Justin Martyr (151 A.D.)

For not as common bread nor common drink do we receive these; but since Jesus Christ our Savior was made incarnate by the word of God and had both flesh and blood for our salvation, so too, as we have been taught, the food which has been made into the Eucharist by the Eucharistic prayer set down by him, and by the change of which our blood and flesh is nurtured, is both the flesh and the blood of that incarnated Jesus" (First Apology 66).

My interpretation??? Breads means - bread...In any language...

Justin Martyr (151 A.D.)

You go ahead and pick Justin Martyr...Obviously he was delusional...

I'll stick with Paul the apostle...The who wrote the verse...
