Is Transubstantiation a true miracle or is the Lords Supper a symbolic gesture of remembering Christ's sacrifice through His Body and by His Blood?
The history of the of this is so long and broad, I couldn't even begin to try and capture all of it in one OP. Many different Christians have deeply held beliefs on this. Is the blood and body of Christ present during this? Is it simply a sacrament of the Early Church? Why do Greek Orthodox, Anglican, Protestant, Roman Catholic have differing views? Are any of them correct? Has Man taken a simple example that Jesus did for His Disciples and turn it into something its not? I think this is an interesting topic as the Lords Supper is a interictal part of Christian history and tradition.
