Though Zwingli was wrong in his failure to apprehend the true nature of Christ's omnipotence in His omnipresence, Luther was also wrong for precisely the same reason. And as much more illiterate as we are than they we're far worse. Indeed I can only imagine how powerless professing Christians are today as seldom as they partake of the Eucharist that is our necessary food, as with those above who mentioned the Southern Baptists, not that they're in any way unique. Funny how no one would be stupid enough to advance the argument that infrequent participation in the marital conjugal act would make enjoying it more sacred or "special" (indeed Paul forbids such a thing in 1 Cor 7:5), and yet people claim this inanity regarding the Eucharist and if they were honest (NOT!) it's because they're too lazy to do what it takes to keep a weekly observance from being as dull and repetitions as the rest of their dull service. What hypocrisy. Having been a boyhood Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) (i.e. Campbellites) member I was often impressed with how good many were at keeping it holy, despite the failures that we all manage as sinners every day in thought word and deed that make us candidates for grace. How terrible that those who foolishly opt for infrequent observance fail to understand what they're missing and the the divine power they're passing up due to their humility and obedience in partaking of the Eucharist together. Indeed I generally avoid the use of "Lord's Supper" because it doesn't have the same gratitude to God the "Eucharist" does which itself means "thanks" (from the Koine Greek eucharisteo, I give thanks). May God deliver us from and and convict us for our superficiality in not rightly esteeming the Lord and His Perfect Body in this sacred act (1 Cor 11:28ff But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh condemnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. 30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many are dead.). May this put the fear of God in us to draw near to Him. Poor Luther never got what Jesus said and stumbled with the disciples that left Him in John 6:63 where He informed them (and Luther too if he hadn’t been too busy shouting “hic est in corpus meum” to hear His Lord) that the flesh profited nothing and Hs words were spirit and truth:”It is the spirit that giveth life; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I have spoken unto you are spirit, are are life.” Though Zwingli was wrong in his failure to apprehend the true nature of Christ’s omnipotence in His omnipresence, Luther was also wrong for precisely the same reason.
