This is why I think it is symbolic. In the process of Transubstantiation, I believe, that God lets it be a reminder of what the original Supper was about. I do not think that Transubstantiation is some scientific anomaly, but just the process of a small miracle happening that will spiritually strenghten those who take the Communion.
I Corinthians 11:23-25, talks about a new covenant during Transubstantiation, not a scientific process.
Yeah, I know. The person that replied to what I had to say was being kind of weird about the verse. I think he was trying to prove a point by something he didn't understand. I worded it so others that are not Christian will understand what Communion is and not be mislead buy some verse that is confusing.
Communion is symbolic. That is what the verse was dealing with.
The second verse you posted was dealing with Communion. Look at the context. Communion should not be taken literally to eat the acutal flesh of someone. In my case, as a Christian, that person is Jesus Christ. When someone takes Communion they are recieving a reminder that Jesus Christ died on the cross for them.
No matter what someone believes, scripture should be interpreted according to context, and the meaning of the passage.
I believe the scripture reference you should use to defend your argument can be found in Leviticus 17:11. Be careful, I agree with you, but this verse (coming out of a NIV Bible) should not be streched to say something it is not. If you found anything else, in any Bible, that can prove what you are saying, please post it.
It is really ironic, the verse I mentioned was quoted on CSI.
