He says to eat the bread and drink the wine (symbolic) and remember his death until he comes again, not bring him down from heaven to your altar to be slain again.

No, He said "This is My body" and "This is My blood". He also said we must eat His flesh and drink His blood (John 6:54-58).

You're the only one saying anything about bringing Jesus down to be slain again. I'm certainly not, that would be ludicrous.

Absolutely symbolic because he was sitting there alive, handing them literal bread and wine as he said it.

You can think whatever you like, I believe its an abomination. Go and talk about drinking blood down in the Lutheran area. This is about creation.

No, His exact words were”this is my body,” and “this is my blood.” Are you saying that God can create the Universe, the Earth and every living thing on the Earth in 7 days, but He cannot make bread and wine His body and blood?

Try reading the OP. This thread is about those who say that people need to believe the Genesis account of creation but don’t need to believe the the exact meaning of the words of Jesus at the Last Supper. It fits on this thread. You want to pick and choose what parts of the Bible you believe.

Oh, and it isn’t up to you to tell me where I can be on CF.

Then quit asking, I gave you my view on it a few times.
I believe it is symbolic. My answer won't change.
