Just what the heck is that supposed to mean ? If it was risen, it wouldn't be a wafer, it would be bread. And while I suppose you could break bread, it doesn't break like a wafer does. And the entire point of breaking the wafer is to represent the broken body of Christ. But something tells me you know that part of it.

You know the best part about questions like this. Aside from it obviously being sarcastic and funny. Very cute question by the way, is that it's always funny to read the answers of a few totally devout who can't step outside their ******* stupid religion for two seconds to just smirk at the question. You always get some guy explaining what the actual sacrament of the wafer crap is and stuff. Yeah, buddy we get it. The guy was just making a joke so lighten up a bit would ya.

If the resurrection is symbolic of anything in communion, it would be that bread sustains you and wine is a classic symbol of abundance and Gods blessing. Jesus, upon being asked to produce mana miraculously, told people that it was HE that was the bread of life. Therefore we symbolically take that bread in communion to recognize his sacrifice for us.
We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. -Romans 6:4

Do they give wafers in Church? For Free? You don't get that at Macca's I might start going there for a free feed.

Thank you. It's because the wafers are basically bread, just not enough to make a sandwich.

Well they have to give you SOMETHING, right? After all, you sit there for an hour listening about someone who died 2000 years ago.. there has to be some take-home catch to get people to regularly come back to something so boring.

Some church's think they have to use "unleaven bread", but in most of the true Church's they just use any bread.

You're confused.
First, you don't "go to" a church . . . YOU are the church. The word Ekklesia means "called out ones".
Second, Jesus said "do this in remembrance of me".
When you take communion, the purpose is to remind you of Christ's sacrifice for our sins.
Don't fall into the heresy of the Roman church that tells you the story of the magic wafer. It's bunk.
Find a real fellowship where the Bible is believed and practiced.

That is the best question I've heard in a long time. It is all a matter of paradigm.
