0:00.0	We're trying to make sense of the different historical reads among Christians on this pivotal passage in Matthew 26
0:08.0	versus 26, 27, and 28. It's Jesus initiating the Lord's Supper, like the thing that all Christians it's the cross and what he did to defeat death and that all points to the culminating
0:24.4	moment in God's redemptive plan but the exact specifics of that including
0:28.8	whether or not to take Jesus words about the bread becoming his body and the cup being his blood completely literally
0:36.2	well that just takes a little bit longer to sort through and that's what we're working on right now
0:40.1	as we take a quick flyover look at the Catholic Anglican Orthodox Eucharistic, I guess they call it transubstantionist position.
0:49.0	I'm going to have Jeff play some music and we'll keep chipping away at it.
0:53.0	The Catholic position, as best as I understand it, I've never been Catholic. I'm not a Catholic now. I like Catholics
1:06.0	I'm doing my best to speak for somebody else. The Catholic position as best as I can tell is that once that priestly prayer with apostolic authority

1:36.4	perceptible elements of communion, the bread and the wine, under a microscope transformed or something into blood or like actual
1:47.8	flesh.
1:48.8	I'm not persuaded by these.
1:50.6	I've investigated these claims. I don't find them compelling. I understand that it's very
1:56.1	offensive to people who do find them compelling. And on that, I would just ask for your grace and
2:02.2	patience, one can only believe what they actually believe
2:05.6	and can only be truthful with themselves as they read the evidence and we're just going to have to
2:10.1	respect each other on that one. So acknowledging that there are these
2:13.7	outlier claims that maybe every now and then the transformation is so
