I put NOTHING past God. If he wants, wanted, or will want to transform a piece of bread into his physical flesh, he could. BUT, the Catholic church is giving WAY too much credit to the priest. To eat his flesh and drink his blood is a PERFECT piece of poetry symbolizing the internalizing of his word. John 1:1 CLEARLY states that the word is God. To make that living word a part of you is to "eat the flesh" of Jesus. This poetry is in line with Jesus' pattern of analogy all thru the Gospels
@bankrep02 The priest does NOTHING but act on the commandment of Jesus at the Last Supper. I don't know what "credit" you're talking about. The Eucharist was central to Christs teaching as is SPELLED OUT in John Chapter 6. Consider the original Passover. God commanded Moses to take a spotless Lamb (the O.T. SYMBOL of Christ) sacrifice it (no salvation w/out the shedding of blood) sprinkle the blood on the "doorposts" (our hearts) to save from the angel of death (satan) They then ATE the "Lamb".
