You forgot to add that your church also teaches that the eating of the wafer also forgives sin, which therefore, makes it a sin offering, when Paul quite clearly said there is no longer any sin offering. That would include the original sin offering which is not a continual offering, but a finished offering proven by the fact that Jesus Christ resurrected from the dead--that is no longer dead, no longer on a cross to be "re-presented". "Re-presenting" that same sin offering is re-presenting a dead "christ" because He was dead on the cross. That would be called "eating the sacrifice of the dead" AKA Balaam's Doctrine. Calvary is not duplicated in some timeless place to be "made present". There is only one Calvary. Calvary exists on this real earth, where once our Savior offered His real flesh, but now Calvary no longer has a cross on it with that sin offering still hanging there dead waiting to be "re-presented" so people can eat it. No, the flesh of Jesus Christ is very real, taking up real space, and remains seated at the right hand of His Father until His enemies are made His footstool and until all things are restored. Last I checked, those things have not been completed. No, His body cannot be in two places at once--only His Spirit is omnipresent, not His body. His body is human and human bodies simply cannot be in two places at once, nor do they reincarnate into a different form or "accident". He is fully human and His body subject to the same conditions in those regards as ours are. To state otherwise, is making Christ's flesh no longer a real actual human body that looks like a human body, but a spiritual essence that reincarnates into a wafer. Ancient Gnostics are the ones who taught that His body was only spiritual and not real. Saying His body changes in form is tantamount to saying the same thing. Plus His Word specifically states that He will only return physically a second time, not a cazillion times, and in the same body with the same scars, not a different form or "accident", and that when He returns, He will visibly descend from Heaven, not invisibly to enter into a wafer (as I said, making His real body spiritual so that He can be brought down from Heaven to become a wafer on earth, is no different than the Gnostics who said that His body was spiritual).
Um, no. Not at all. Paul warned the Corinthians in his first letter of the danger of receiving the Body and Blood of Christ unworthily;
1 Corinthians 11:27

"Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord."


Ruth, the Anglican Church was created when Henry VIII declared himself the Supreme Head of the Church of England. That title still belongs to the monarchy, and QE2 is currently holding that position.
