One verse refution of Transubstantiation ONE VERSE REFUTATION #1: If you carefully read Mt 26:27-29 above, you will notice that after Jesus "gave thanks" and proclaimed "this is my blood", Jesus himself refutes both RC and Orthodox because he then afterwards called it "fruit of the vine" not blood.

Lohse, Bernard: A Short History of Christian Doctrine ... There has been no lack of attempts to find the initial form of the doctrine of the Trinity in Plato, or in Hinduism, or in Parsiism.

With these affirmations, which for Jewish monotheism were utterly offensive. (A Short History of Christian Doctrine, Bernard Lohse, 1966, p37-39) We notice that Jews would be offended at calling Jesus Lord OR God. JW's do call Jesus Lord and "a God" which is just as much offense to Jews as Trinitarians calling Jesus "Very God". Most of the bishops who were present at the council signed this creed. Among the signers were those who, judging by their theological presuppositions, could not do so, or could hardly do so, such as Eusebius of Caesarea.

What Is Hell Like? Oh, no, if he were able to escape execution, he would have to spend the rest of his life behind bars for an act which took only fifteen seconds to perform.

What Early Christians believed about SALVATION BY WORKS As the blood of the passover saved those who were in Egypt, so also the blood of Christ will deliver from death those who have believed." (Justin Trypho chap. 111) 185-255 AD Origen "One of the doctrines included in the teaching of the Church is that there is a just judgment of God.
