11:26) about the bread and wine of what's called the Eucharist
being transformed into the body and blood of Emmanuel, when it was just
to be a reminder to the disciples of the time of Emmanuel's death; religious
people must figure that even though the appearance of the bread and wine

some god' inside an individual, but not realizing the true God is
already there:.1John

doctrine, symbolizes the body
of Christ when Emmmanuel was in the physical and the wine being the blood,
means it was shed because of the Roman cruelty
to Emmanuel:.Isaiah
