Consubstantiation

Description:

Consubstantiation is a theological concept that refers to the belief that the substance of the bread and wine in the Eucharist coexists with the body and blood of Christ. It is mainly upheld in certain Protestant Christian denominations.

Sample Sentences:

2. According to consubstantiation, when participating in the sacrament, one receives both the physical elements and the spiritual presence of Christ.

3. Consubstantiation differs from the Catholic belief of transubstantiation, which holds that the bread and wine completely change into the body and blood of Christ.
