What I've always found interesting is the early Christians(early A.D. 100's) believed that Christ is present in the Eucharist. I'll take the writings of someone who actually learned under the Apostle John to the 'interpretations' of men over a thousand years later any day of the week.

Well of course. That's why the one, holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church exists. The Apostles who were students and apointees of Our Lord taught the doctrine of the Real Presence as they were taught. That's why the Church included those stories in the Gospel. Recall, of course, that the Bible didn't exist in the First Century after the Passion. It was the One, Holy, Apostolic Catholic Church that defined the Bible.
