I've told you what I believe.Do you believe that it is literal physical flesh and blood with human DNA which can be scientifically determined or do you believe that it is metaphysically and/or metaphorically flesh and blood?

Many Protestant denominations consider the bread and wine to be purely symbolic, which I highly doubt you are unaware of.
You said "Every Christian believes that". Are you now admitting you made a false claim?"Most" Protestant denominations probably include the Anglican Church, the Lutheran Churches, and the Reformed Churches. Would you agree with this?

I am not making such arguments. Enjoy knocking down all those strawmen. It's all you seem good at.I agree. As long as you do not perceive Protestant branches of the Christian church, such as the Anglicans, Lutherans, and Reformed Churches, as having any validity, it is impossible to continue a rational discussion.
