If you want to keep pushing this yes I am sure, To believe that bread becomes literal body and wine literal blood is not in the Bible nor was it ever taught by the early church nor the early church fathers and those are the facts.I had hoped you would read our biblical version and check it out for yourself but if you insist I will spell it out. .........Among the aberrant Catholic sacraments and doctrines, one of the least understood is that of the Eucharist and transubstantiation. While analogous to communion in many ways, it is also worlds apart, separated by a gulf of heresy. This article will provide a basic analysis of the Catholic Eucharist, and reveal the ways in which it is unbiblical and a denial of the sufficiency of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. The Catholic Church teaches that once a Catholic priest has consecrated the wafer of bread during communion, or “Eucharist” as it is called by Catholics, it turns into the literal and real body, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ. It is no longer a piece of bread. It is Jesus Christ under the appearance of bread, and is therefore worthy of worship and adoration. This process of consecration followed by a literal change from a mere wafer to the body of Christ is called transubstantiation. The following paragraphs are taken from the Catholic Catechism. Paragraph 1374, page 383“In the most blessed sacrament of the Eucharist the body and blood, together with the soul and divinity, of our Lord Jesus Christ and, therefore, the whole Christ is truly, really, and substantially contained.”Paragraph 1380, pages 385, 386“The Church and the world have a great need for Eucharistic worship. Jesus awaits us in this sacrament of love. Let us not refuse the time to go to meet him in adoration, in contemplation full of faith, and open to making amends for the serious offenses and crimes of the world. Let our adoration never cease.”Paragraph 1418, pages 395“Because Christ himself is present in the sacrament of the altar, he is to be honored with the worship of adoration.” Also see, paragraphs 1373-1377 and 1413 on pages 383-385 and page 395 The Catholic Church similarly teaches that the wine or water taken with the wafer becomes the literal blood of Christ upon consecration by a priest. They claim that Jesus taught transubstantiation at the last supper and that the disciples were anointed with the power to change bread into the actual presence of Christ. This authority was then passed down through priestly ordination and apostolic succession. To the early church the practice of the Lord’s Supper was a time of fellowship and a meal memorializing Christ’s sacrifice. The bread and wine were taken in a Thanksgiving celebration that came to be known as the Eucharist. Eucharist comes from the Greek word, eucharistia, which means “thanksgiving”. 1 It was a celebration held in expectation of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb that awaits all believers before the Glorious Appearing (Rev. 19:9). The transubstantiation doctrine of the Catholic Church was not taught or practiced until the middle ages, long after the emergence of Roman Catholicism in the 6th Century A.D. Four Catholic Popes can be credited with the evolution of the Eucharist to include several of the traditions now held by Catholics.21. Sixtus III, bishop of Rome AD 432-440 was the first to establish an “altar” within basilicas where the elements of bread and wine were blessed. 2. Felix IV, (AD 526-530) separated the altar as a holy place to be used exclusively for blessing the Eucharist elements. 3. Boniface II (AD 530-532) came up with altar coverings4. Gregory I (AD 590-604) in his early 7th century reforms added candles, tabernacles to hold the elements, and the vestments worn by priests.The early church never practiced these traditions. The Mass did not change from a celebration meal of thanksgiving to a ceremonial encounter with the literal body and blood of Jesus until the 12th century. The doctrine of transubstantiation was decreed in AD 1215 at the fourth Lateran Council. The Catholic Church places a great deal of authority on antiquity and appearing to be an exact replica of the early church. Therefore, when history proves that most Catholic traditions are found nowhere in the early church, and are in fact the result of an evolution of doctrines as they were passed down through a succession of Popes, the church simply rewrites history. This works because the laity are taught to never question the authority of the Church. Investigating the historical record and the evidence for the Church’s claims to authority would be tantamount to questioning the Pope. While the Catholic Church relies heavily on a revised history to support their claims, they also use the Pope’s interpretation of scripture as a support. I say “the Pope’s interpretation” because the laity is not allowed to interpret scripture for themselves and must look to the church for its meaning instead. One of the verses the Catechism lists to support transubstantiation is Luke 22:19,20. And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you. Its proponents also commonly use chapter 6 in the book of John as a support for transubstantiation.John 6:51-55 “I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat? Jesus said to them, “I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink.”When Christians participate in the Lord’s Supper we do it in remembrance of the sacrifice Christ made for us. The bread represents the body of Christ, and the wine represents the blood sacrificed to cover our sins. This verse and the verses in John do not teach that the bread is the literal flesh of Jesus, and the wine is the literal blood of Christ. The key to understanding scripture is to read it in context. We know from context when to interpret scripture literally, and when the context demands a figurative or symbolic interpretation. The Bible is replete with verses that use metaphors, symbols, and descriptive images to make a point or explain a teaching. Some examples of metaphors that would not be taken literally are listed below. Psalm 34:8 “Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good.” John 4:14 “Whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”This verse does not mean that believers will literally have a fountain of water springing up inside them. It is a metaphorical way of telling us that those who accept the salvation Christ offers will have eternal life.John 2:19 “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” The Jews thought that Jesus was referring to the Jewish temple, but as you read further it becomes obvious he was referring to His body. Jesus makes several I Am statements in the book of John alone that are good examples of the symbolic nature of some scripture. 1. I am the bread of life (John 6:35)2. I am the light of the world (John 8:12)3. I am the door (John 10:9)4. I am the good shepherd (John 10:11)5. I am the resurrection and the life (John 11:25)6. I am the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6)7. I am the vine.All of these statements tell us something about the nature of Jesus, however Jesus is not a literal door that opens when we ask to receive Him. He is no more a literal grape vine than he is a loaf of bread, and He does not become either. These are but a few examples out of many. Just as Jesus used parables to explain things that were hard for his listeners to understand, the Bible uses metaphors to help us understand and visualize what we read. Jesus told us to expect this in John 16:25 which reads, “These things I have spoken to you in figurative language
