When he said this is my body he wasn't being a canable the wafer of bread and wine was the soul of god veiled in wheat not a piece of his arm.

And if you don't believe why is it that it took protestants 1500 years to figure it out?
I belive!

No. It doesn't make any sense whatsoever. If the bread Jesus broke at the Last Supper was Himself, does that mean that He ate Himself and was present in person and in the bread and wine, bearing in mind that the wine was the blood which He hadn't yet sacrificed.
This is the absurdity of Biblical literalism, which ironically, was the reason that the Pharisees rejected Jesus Christ. He didn't literally fulfill the prophecies about the Messiah-King.
It also why the Christians rejected Muhammad and Muslims reject the Baha'i Faith.

I believe! You mean that the all powerful God that created the universe, created man, came to earth as Jesus can change bread and wine into divinity, heck yes! Remember though that Jesus could do no miracles in His home town for the lack of people's faith. If one doesn't believe in transubstantiation then for them it is a measly piece of bread!

All Catholics and Orthodox -- and a few protestant sects.
What I wonder about is why the fundamentalists take Genesis literally, but think that Jesus was speaking symbolically about eating his flesh and drinking his blood.

The first Lord's Supper was preformed by Jesus before his Crucifixion, so It could not have been his literal body when he said this is my body.
Jesus did it right, everyone who does it differently did it wrong.

The question 'who believes in transubstantiation' is not a yes/no question. It's a 'who' question. If I answer yes or no, it would make no sense. If I answer 'me', or 'my dad', THAT would make sense.
Do you understand?

I will not tie the elements to earthly conditions. God is the final authority on its definition, and since the Bible doesn't define it, neither do I.

Even when I was a catholic, I didn't believe it exactly. I simply didn't give it much thought. You could say I accepted it. But believe it - no, I never did.
