Dear Fred

some religions believe the communiom bread and wine are acually the blood and body of christ or is a simble?

Fred's Response

My good Catholic friends traditionally believe that the bread and wine are actually the blood and body of Christ. As a southern Baptist I was raised to believe that they are symbolic. The important thing to understand is the significance of them as reminding us of the sacrifice of Christ for us. www.bible.org is a resource that I recommend. You can type in communion and see if they have sermons addressing this issue.
