Most protestants don't believe that they are ingesting ACTUAL flesh and blood... Christianity has no room for cannibalism. It is for every individual to decide what is right, you are responsible for YOU at the end of it all. I do not think I have a better understanding for others, only for me. It is from study of the HOLY Bible, and other texts, including the catholic canon, and thinking that I come to my conclusions, not on what "millennia of dogma" have found for themselves. Your relationship to God is between you and God, and he will guide you into great understanding through the Holy Spirit.

the Lutherans do. The Presbyrterians believe that it contains the precense of Christ which in effect is essentially the same damned thing (you are consuming christ).

It is from study of the HOLY Bible, , and other texts, including the catholic canon, and thinking that I come to my conclusions

The same holy bible that says this:

"Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day "- John 6:53.

"Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him" - 6:54-56

"26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;

28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins." Matthew 26:26-28

Looks like you need to study better.

If Jesus were teaching that the literal eating of His flesh and drinking of His blood were necessary for eternal life, it is strange that it is not explained that way anywhere in the Bible. When Jesus preached the Gospel and when the apostles witnessed to the lost, they never spoke about a literal eating and drinking. What they did ask people to do was to "come" to Christ and to "believe" on him for eternal life. When the Philippian jailer asked, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" the answer was "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house" (Acts 16:30-31). If eating the flesh and drinking the blood of Christ were necessary for salvation then this was the wrong answer.

In John 6 Jesus was not teaching about the Lord's Supper and He certainly wasn't advocating cannibalism. Rather, He was teaching about faith. Our Lord had just fed the 5,000, and the multitudes were seeking Him. They were laboring for the food that perishes. Our Lord knew this and therefore gave them instruction about faith (John 6:26-29). When His audience asked about bread our Lord responds and says: "I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst" (John 6:35). Coming to Christ is what it means to eat, and believing is what it means to drink. In verse 40 Jesus promises all who believe on Him will be raised at the last day.

Also, Roman Catholic doctrine teaches "an invisible miracle." The bread and the contents of the cup allegedly become the body and blood of Christ, even though such a change is not visible. However, there are no "invisible miracles" in the Bible. When Jesus turned the water into wine at Cana, the water actually became wine. (John 2:1-11)

Yes, the ritual of breaking bread, eating and drinking, communing with each other. Sharing. Not cannibalizing....
