And so our God-given sense of sight as a judge of Truth would cancel the Lutheran idea of the Real Presence as well.
Baloney! It would NOT! And it isn't just sight, but smell, taste, and feel. The Gospel writers called the bread Jesus broke "bread." Jesus called the contents of the cup, AFTER consecrating it, "the/this fruit of the vine." I.e. wine.
WE don't teach that the bread and wine are ONLY Jesus' body and blood, but are BOTH bread and wine, body and blood, after consecration. We don't limit Jesus. IF HE can have two natures in one being, then so can the bread and wine at His command. Isn't He Lord of all creation?
Oh, really? Why? Because YOU say so? Sorry, but that is utter nonsense!If our doctrine of the Eucharist can't possibly be right, neither can yours.
