We concede that it isn't a concept we have the mental capacity to understand, in the same way an ant doesnt have the brain to understand math.
Not in the same way. Not at all in the same way. But I recognize the Bible as a human, all-too human, artifact. You think it's divinely inspired because, you know, it says so. Lol

Actually, I said no such thing. I did say that I'm mystified how anyone can believe this or fail to see Jesus' words as anything other than metaphors to guide remembrance. Two cheers for the Protestants, I guess.

That's surprising, given his alleged omnipresence.
Presumably, he would be present whether you believe in transubstantiation or not, right?
