NO Trans-Vatican Baloney....there is No wafer god in Scripture ....Transubstantiation is a false doctrine for the following reasons: No Bible verse teaches transubstantiation. Supposed proof texts put forward by Roman Catholic and Orthodox advocates are most naturally seen as proving that the bread and juice were symbols of the body and blood. To see transubstantiation in these texts requires one to strain the text as much as our mind. Transubstantiation is a false doctrine because Jesus is not a liar: In Mt 26:29 after Jesus had said, this is my blood and prayed, he still referred to the contents as, fruit of the vine. If transubstantiation of the juice into blood had occurred, as both Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches say it was at this time, then Jesus would never have referred to it as fruit of the vine but rather blood. This proves that when Jesus said take eat & drink he LITERALLY gave them bread and juice. In like manner, Paul also refers to the elements of the Lords Supper as eat this bread and drink the cup in 1 Cor 11:26 after they should be transubstantiated. 1 Cor 11:26-27 proves transubstantiation wrong because Paul calls the loaf, bread after both Roman Catholics and Orthodox say the change was supposed to take place. Catholics make Paul a liar by calling the loaf bread rather than what Catholic false doctrine claims it was: Literal Flesh. In 1 Corinthians 11:25, Jesus said literally that the cup was the covenant. So which is it? Is the it the juice that is the covenant or the juice that is the blood? Is it the cup that is the covenant or is the cup the blood? In 1 Cor 11:26-28, Paul instructs us to drink the cup instead of drink the blood. The Holy Spirit would not use such a figure of speech as synecdoche (referring to a part for the whole) if such a literal transubstantiation was actually taking place. To use a symbol when such a literal change is taking place is unthinkable. Transubstantiation is a false doctrine because Jesus instituted Lords Supper before his blood was shed and body broken! He spoke of His blood being shed, which was still yet future. This proves it was a symbol.
