Communion/transubstantiation question

[vorlon13]

This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.
Jesus Christ



So, Jesus passed out the crackers and sent the goblet around the table to his disciples.

-and-

I'm assuming he partook Himself.

So what happened inside Jesus?  Did transubstantiation occur 'instantaneously' as He consumed the sacramental bread and wine, or did He allow His physiology to just go ahead and do what it usually does with His ingested vittles ??

You're overthinking it V.

Is it cannibalism if you eat yourself?
Is it partial cannibalism if you eat your boogers? eeewww
If you continuously eat your own skat, is it nested cannibalism all the way down?

I bite my fingernails, does that count?

The earliest known use of the term "transubstantiation" to describe the change from bread and wine to body and blood of Christ in the Eucharist was by Hildebert de Lavardin, Archbishop of Tours, in the 11th century.

Like most shitty ideas, it caught on quickly!

One thing for sure.  No one is ever going to confuse the fucking thing with a Ginger Snap.



As I recall.... and it has been a long time....it tastes like a cross between newspaper and wall paper paste.

And it sticks to the roof of your mouth IIRC.

The entire motif really is nothing more than a competition of prior polytheism animal sacrifice. I'd bet that because many people were getting sick from bacteria from bathing in animal blood or drinking unfiltered animal blood, this was an attempt to get away from that. 

But back then, the bible was taken very literally so yea, back then, they did believe they were eating the body of Jesus. Just like they literally believed in magic babies with super powers. 

But just like other religions, when called out on it, it gets relegated to "symbolic" or "metaphor".

Has any theists said exactly where in the process that transubstantiation takes place? Mouth, esophagus, stomach, intestine, colon, rectum? Or considered that they eventually poop jesus?

I submit your question is moot because Jesus is already poop going in.

IIRC the xhristards claim it is when the priest says "abracadabra" over the thing.
