Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 54Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 55For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 56He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. 57As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. 58This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.

Exactly. Does the bread and wine become flesh and blood or is it just symbolic? That should be a very very important question, having the same importance, if not more, than
Acts 2:38 because Jesus Himself was speaking in the passage. Yet the passage which reference the body and blood of Jesus is pushed to a place of no discussion.
