I've actually never heard the story of "bringing God into your body" during communion....
again, man-made silliness....
Jesus was pretty plain about it... wine and bread (which was unleavened) .... as often as (in other words, every time)you eat of this bread and drink this wine, do it in remembrance of me....
pretty simple memorial for us to remember him by... anytime, anyplace....

Jesus was sacrificed once for all whosoever will apply His sacrifice to their lives. Those that do, are baptized into Christ's death, where He shead His blood, and they stay in contact with it when taking the Lord's Supper upon the first day of the week, in the assembly of the saints (fellow Christians).
His blood is spiritual not physical. The fruit of the vine (grape juice) represents His blood just as a globe represents the earth. Just like Jesus is not a physical lamb, but spiritually speaking He is the Lamb of God. Taking the Lords Supper is spiritual, but because we are still in physical bodies, God gives us this habit for renewing our minds.
When we take the Lords Supper (what some call communion) we are communicating with God (in a way that is more than prayer). Here is that exchange... We are telling God that we remember Christ's death on the cross, and our covenant of baptism into that death. We do a self-examination before we can take it. And if we agree that we are currently, actively, living for Christ instead of living in sin, then He communicates back to our heart that since we are still living in Him, He will still wash our sins away and make us spiritually clean. Our attitude is humble, thankful, and mournful because of what Christ had to do in order to make us clean.

Yep, this is the story behind Holy communion.
but lucifer make different story. When God told Adam not to Eat the fruit of knowledge, God tell the reason, what is It?
when you Eat, you Will die. This is the real reason. Lucifer told different reason, he Said when you Eat that fruit, you Will be come like God.
same action different reason

True christians have the indwelling Holy Spirit in them, God the Holy Spirit in them.
We do not need to eat bread to somehow absorb the Holy Spirit, He resides in us.
Next time someone tells you they need to eat the bread to have Jesus in them,
remind them of the following verses.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 NKJV
[19] Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you,
whom you have from God, and you are not your own? [20] For you were bought at a
price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.

Next time you have an opportunity, show your friend the above
verses. Ask them what they think it means.
The chances are that your friend is just repeating parrot fashion what they
have been taught and that they haven't actually read the bible for
themselves.
The wine doesn't turn to blood and the bread doesn't turn into the flesh of Jesus Christ. Communion is a commemoration of the sacrifice of the "Passover" Lamb. The bread is unleavened which symbolizes the escape from the way of the world. Israel had no time to wait and let the bread rise. The blood is life to the flesh, and by its shedding the fleshly desires will die. Communion then is remembrance to Jesus Christ, Him being the door that is open, allowing all who believe in Him having a way of escape enslavement.
Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover? And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.(Matthew 26:17, 26-28 KJV)
Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;And did all eat the same spiritual meat;And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? ( 1 Corinthians 10:1-4 and 16 KJV)
