describe or change?

[MoreCoffee]

Do the words of Christ describe reality or do they change reality?

Now while they were eating the meal, Jesus took bread, and he blessed and broke and gave it to his disciples, and he said: "Take and eat. This is my body." And taking the chalice, he gave thanks. And he gave it to them, saying: "Drink from this, all of you. For this is my blood of the new covenant, which shall be shed for many as a remission of sins. But I say to you, I will not drink again from this fruit of the vine, until that day when I will drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father." [SUP]Matthew 26:26-29[/SUP]

 

[Lamb]

God's word is alive and active (Hebrews 4:12) and will not return to Him empty (Isaiah 55:11).

When God said Let there be light...there was light.

When Jesus told Lazarus to Come Out! He did.

Yes, and when his disciple said "tabitha rise" she did.

Reality.

Jesus said "is" not "change/ed" (and certainly not "the specific change of an alchemic transubstantiation leaving behind a mixture of reality and Aristotelian accidents")
