I reply: with the Early Church fathers...
Ignatius of Antioch is a CHRISTIAN.
He said..
"I have no taste for corruptible food nor for the pleasures of this life. I desire the bread of God, which is the flesh of Jesus Christ, who was of the seed of David; and for drink I desire his blood, which is love incorruptible" (Letter to the Romans 7:3 [A.D. 110]).
Justin Martyr is a CHRISTIAN!
He said..
"We call this food Eucharist, and no one else is permitted to partake of it, except one who believes our teaching to be true and who has been washed in the washing which is for the remission of sins and for regeneration [i.e., has received baptism] and is thereby living as Christ enjoined. For not as common bread nor common drink do we receive these; but since Jesus Christ our Savior was made incarnate by the word of God and had both flesh and blood for our salvation, so too, as we have been taught, the food which has been made into the Eucharist by the Eucharistic prayer set down by him, and by the change of which our blood and flesh is nurtured, is both the flesh and the blood of that incarnated Jesus" (First Apology 66 [A.D. 151]).
Jackson123 Augustine the CHRISTIAN answers your question!!
"Christ was carried in his own hands when, referring to his own body, he said, ‘This is my body’ [Matt. 26:26]. For he carried that body in his hands" (Explanations of the Psalms 33:1:10 [A.D. 405]).
Jackson123 Do you see it... "At the Last Supper Jesus carried himself!"
THINK: The God of the Christian is almighty, he can do ALL THINGS, he can take any form he wants to take... "The form of Fire, Smoke, Dove, even a MAN, My God can even take the form of bread!"
Jackson123 My god can LOOK, TASTE, SMELL and FEEL as ordinary bread! BUT for anyone without faith in Jesus, it is just ordinary bread! To the CHRISTIANS those people who believe in Jesus, it is his flesh simply because; Jesus tells us it is his flesh! The Early CHRISTIANS believe the words of Jesus: KNOWING God cannot lie or mislead people!
Jackson123 Your god clearly is not almighty, your god cannot take any form he desires!
LOOK... Jews do NOT believe Jesus is God, they believe Jesus is just a MAN!
John 6:52
Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
QUESTION: Is Jesus just a man or the ALMIGHTY God?!
The bible says the Apostles Ate the flesh of God!
Jackson123 Look in John 6.. These Jews (below) do NOT believe they can eat the flesh of Jesus.. so they leave Jesus!
56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. 57 Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” 59 He said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
Many Disciples Desert Jesus
60 On hearing it, many of his disciples said, “This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?”
BUT... Jackson123 Look these Jews believe the words of Jesus. (below)
67 “You do not want to leave too, do you?” Jesus asked the Twelve.
68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.”
Jackson123 These Jews (Apostles) are the first CHRISTIANS.. All but Judas believe Jesus' words, Judas does not leave them in his UNBELIEF he stays among the Christians, eating the flesh of Jesus, when he (like you) really rejects Jesus' teaching! Look what Jesus said about Judas.. (the very next verse)
70 Then Jesus replied, “Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!”71 (He meant Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, who, though one of the Twelve, was later to betray him.)
Jackson123 The CHURCH has always eaten the flesh of Jesus in the form of bread!
The CHURCH has always drank the blood of Jesus in the form of wine! LOOK below..
1 Corinthians 11
24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
27 So then, 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. 28 Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. 29 For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves.
Jackson123 Judas CONDEMNED himself at the Last Supper!!
Judas rejected the teaching of Jesus in John 6 but stayed with the believers (like you) he was HYPOCRITE Christian!! Saying I believe the words of Jesus but in truth reject the words of Jesus!
Judas SINNED against Jesus by rejecting the words of Jesus as symbolic words!

Let me ask you question.
In the last supper,Do you believe Jesus hold his meat on His hand or bread?
