There is no real flesh or real blood in the Christian Communion Remembrance. We are not feeding on flesh and blood so we can get GOD into us via the alimentary tract. We are taking the bread and wine (or grape juice if you prefer) in reverent remembrance of the flesh and blood sacrificed for us and our Salvation at Calvary, Once for All, Forever.

The simple symbols are used so that anyone, anywhere, can do this REMEMBRANCE showing the death Jesus went through for us until He comes for us.

Where two or more are gathered in His name, there is He in the midst of them.

That is a real promise fulfilled by Spiritual means, not physical presence.

I have been in prayer where His Presence was sensed SPIRITUALLY by each one present. Spiritual things are not discerned by the carnal man, they must be spiritually discerned.

The carnal man eats and drinks but his spirit starves.

” We are not feeding on flesh and blood so we can get GOD into us via the alimentary tract. “

To you too, I request that you make assumptions about what I actually believe.
