Hey guys, how are you?
Now, I'm posing this question with the risk that it could turn into a huge debate. However, I'm hoping that we can keep this to just what I'm asking for.
Now,I'm writing a paper for my History of Christianity class on the Lord's Supper in the early church. The plan was to show both sides of the debate and different practices that each have. However, the only evidence that I can find from the early church all points to the acceptance of transubstantiation, or that the Water and Wine in the celebration of the Lord's Supper actually turn into the Body and Blood of Jesus. The earliest opposition I can find to this is only a bit before the Reformation. So, I am wondering if any of you have any idea or evidence that there was opposition before this or that it was not the way many early Christians practiced. If you do, I'd love to be able to use it for my paper. However, because it is a university paper, I will need direct references.Thanks in advance.
