No it wasn't and it isn't.

We can only disagree here. Given this disagreement, how are we to know whose opinion is true? Would our Lord institute such an important sacrament and yet leave us in the dark as to what it means? This is the problem with sola scriptura. Without an authoritative teaching church instituted by Jesus himself there is no way to settle this dispute.

Of course we do. You are a Roman Catholic defender of your church's teachings and I instead am a proponent of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and Him alone.

Again, I appeal to what Jesus Christ actually said in the Holy Bible and you appeal to the erroneous interpretations (CCC and others) taught you by your mentors.

He said what He meant and the RCC refuses to believe what He actually said.

IfF you deny Jesus’s clear teaching then it is impossible to awaken you to the Truth of what He declared. But it is found in the scriptures, explained and repeated by Jesus Himself, what He means with bread and wine and water and BRASS SERPENTS. All of these teachings by Jesus are found in John’s Gospel. The explanation for the Brass serpent int he desert of Moses leadership is not even found in the Old Testament. It awaited Jesus explaining the meaning in John’s Gospel! If you read the explanation Jesus gave to Nicodemus and come away believing it is not plain or that Brass serpents can save people from snake bite venom, well then we cannot help your working so hard to remain blind to The Truth.
