Does the Bible Contradict Itself?

[spockrates]

Denied what, that a Protestant reading of scripture still leads to contradictions? I'll handle that right now. ... The text is not ambiguous, anywhere. ...

Thanks for trying to show me where I'm deceived, Rythm. Not sure I understand why you believe to text anywhere in the Bible is unclear. Let's consider one that is well known, perhaps even to many atheists:

22 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take it; this is my body.”

23 Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, and they all drank from it.

24 “This is my blood of the[a] covenant, which is poured out for many,” he said to them. 25 “I tell you the truth, I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it anew in the kingdom of God.”

(Mark 14)

Did Jesus mean to say, "This is my [actual] body," and "This is my [actual] blood," or did he instead mean, "This is my [symbolic] body," and "This is my [symbolic] blood"?

If he clearly meant one, but not the other, please explain why you are so sure.
