I think the problem with intiction in this regard raekwon is that it conflates the body and blood not only as one substance but as one act. The Scriptures are clear both in Jesus' instruction and in Paul's writing in 1 Cor 11 that not only is the bread and the wine separate substances but they are to be taken in separate acts.

Look at 1 Cor 10:16:

Quote:
Is not the cup of blessing which we bless a sharing in the blood of Christ? Is not the bread which we break a sharing in the body of Christ?
