Whether you personally believe or not, do you truly dispute the scriptural authority for transubstantiation?

There is no scriptural authority for this. Scripture is rather dead set against it. While the spirit of God is omnipresent, Matter is not. So it even fails on logical
basis. Christ is bodily in heaven. Scripture says he will bodily remain there until the end. Trying to say through philosophy that he is bodily present on earth makes God a liar. By definition then, it is blasphemy. And scripture cannot support blasphemy.

Furthermore, the concept of transubstantiation was necessitated by the mass in order to make it possible to
convince people that a sacrifice was being made and that they must attend for forgiveness. This too is full of error. Scripture says the sacrifice ended, one cannot restart a completed sacrifice - it's not a dvd or videotape that you just rewind and hit play again. Furthermore, the supper commissioned by Christ was commissioned with a warning that it not be taken unworthily (ie while in sin or unsaved). Yet the defined purpose of this sacrifice based on philosophy and your own canon law is to cleans one of sin. A paradox - created by philosophy. One cannot partake in sin but one is cleansed of sin by it. God is not the author of confusion - the devil is. So who do you suppose authored this? I'll tell you, the same source that authored the basis for it in a fraudulent church canon law
from the decrees of Same. The earliest known origin of this notion - and it's a forgery. Go ahead and look it up by name. "The decrees of same" I've posted it verbatim here before. I'm sure I can locate it for you again if needbe.
