They understood perfectly what he was teaching them and is why this same reenactment is done in Christian churches throughout the world as a REMEMBRANCE of Him - as he said it should be. Nobody even thought about philosophical arguments concerning substance and accidents and transubstance until many centuries later. If it was good enough for the Apostles back then, it should be good enough for us today. Why deny that??? m

So, then, for the next 1,600 years they misinterpreted what He said until the revolution set them straight??????????please.

Don't be ridiculous. Do you actually know when the doctrine of transubstantiation even was dogmatically defined by your church? Try the Council of Trent in reaction to the Reformation which tried to set straight a lot of things munged up over the centuries. A think maybe in the early years your church got it right about justification by faith but in didn't take long before they changed and started teaching an accursed gospel that made salvation dependent upon works more than on faith. So, no, you don't have 1600 years to boast about.

But you go ahead and believe you get your weekly portion of Jesus grace doled out in a wafer which is only good until you sin and then you go through confession, penance and communion all over again to keep that ticket to purgatory/hopefully heaven punched. You mock Christians who know they are saved because they believe what Jesus says and then turn around and claim only Catholics REALLY believe Jesus' words. If that were true, then you would also have the assurance of your salvation and rejoice that his once for all sacrifice for sin was finished. He who the Son sets free is free indeed! I pray that your eyes may be opened to this exceedingly precious promise.
