All of this section is imposed onto the text. The bread and cup are not symbolic. It is His body and His blood.
The word for "Rememberance" at the Last Supper is not a recalling to your mind, but an imposition of literally going back to the time and place in which It happened, exactly like the Passover.
Matthew 18:20 is being abused here, the text contextually is talking about Church discipline and authority against those who sin against us.
Christ is our High Priest according to the order of Melchizedek (Hebrews 7:17)
Melchizedek offered bread and wine. Typology of Eucharist. (Genesis 14:18)
Christ is our Passover Lamb that we must consume (Exodus 12, 1 Corinthians 5:7, John 6:54)
The bread which we break and wine we drink is a participation in the body and blood of Christ (1 Corinthians 10:16)
Christ is our manna that comes down from Heaven. (Exodus 16, John 6:32)
The blood of the Old and New Covenants (Exodus 24:8, Matthew 26:26-28)
Malachi prophesied that the Gentiles would offer bread and wine to God "from the rising and setting of the sun", the word "Mincha" means grain offering of bread and wine. (Malachi 1:11)
Isaiah prophesied that God would make the Gentiles priests. (Isaiah 66:21)
@ReasonableTrout@Curi_Christian Ok! God really said this:
John 6:54
Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen, I say unto you: except you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you.
Not so fast, Mark.
Acts 8:14-17
Now, when the apostles, who were in Jerusalem, had heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John. Who, when they were come, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Ghost. For he was not as yet come upon any of them: but they were only baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then they laid their hands upon them: and they received the Holy Ghost.
It says so in Acts 8. That the Holy Spirit was received AFTER baptism.
Acts 8:14-17

@BigE299499 The lambs sacrificed in the Temple were also eaten, not just sacrificed.
How do you consume the Lamb slain on the Cross? Christ tells you to consume Him. And Paul says we have an altar in Hebrews 13:10.
@BigE299499@CatholicGermany@Catholic_Haze Learn what exactly? I say amen to this verse.
I'm asking you to stop being vague and go ahead and give me your presupposed opinion about this verse.
@DavidNollEarth@poperespecter1 I highlighted in yellow the word he's referring to, and in orange the word you're talking about.
Go look at the other word please.
@PetGorilla Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with Thee.
Blessed art Thou among women
And Blessed is the fruit of Thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God
Pray for us sinners now
and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
