Transubstantiation In Catholic belief, the view that the bread and the wine in mass miraculously become the actual body and blood of Jesus. In Lutheran belief, consubstantiation means that the actual body and blood of Christ exist "in, with or under" the elements of bread and wine. In the NT, the bread and fruit of the vine are eaten as a symbolic memorial to the body and blood of the Lord (1 Cor 11:23-26). Verse 26 teaches this is a memorial as it is to “proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes”.
The canons of the Council of Trent concerning the “Eucharist” declared, first, that “whosoever shall deny that in the sacrament of the most holy Eucharist are contained truly, really and substantially, the body and blood, together with the soul and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, and therefore the entire Christ; but shall say that he is in it only as in a sign, or a figure of virtue; let him be accursed; second, that “whosoever shall deny” that the “whole substance of the bread” and the “whole substance of the wine” are converted into the body and the blood of Christ, “only the forms of the bread and wine remaining,” which doctrine “the Catholic Church most aptly calls “transubstantiation” is accursed – “let him be accursed;” third, that “whosoever” shall deny that the body and blood of the Lord “does not remain in the hosts, or consecrated morsels which are reserved or left after the communion,” is also “accursed;” fourth, “whosoever shall say that Christ, as exhibited in the Eucharist is eaten spiritually, and not also sacramentally and really,” is also to be “accursed” – Yes, after each pronouncement comes that onus of the Roman Catholic anathema, “let him be accursed.”
A laboratory test of the bread and the wine, before the priest officiates and after he officiates, will prove that they undergo no change from bread to flesh, or from juice to blood, and will therefore be a scientific demonstration that the doctrine of transubstantiation is false.
The doctrine of the Eucharist that the Body and Blood of Jesus LITERALLY and miraculously manifests into one wafer is another ABSURD invention of the Catholic Church. God PLAINLY states that we Gentiles are to abstain from Blood. (Acts 15:29).
