No - He is not "disguised" as anything.
How difficult is this for you to understand??
The Eucharist is the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ.
That is the most explicit description I can give you.

Then you are in a distinct minority of the membership. It's called footnoting. 'Sides copy and pasting a whole article could be considered copyright infringement.

I explained to you that we receive Him SACRAMENTALLY under the appearance of bread and wine - but we consume Him BODY, BLOOD SOUL and DIVINITY.
If you have to ask again - you really need to go back to school . . . -

This is getting stupid.
What you want me to say is that we feast on an arm or a leg at mass. That is not the case - but you already know that. You're just being difficult.
When we consume the Eucharist, we are consuming the SAME Christ that walked the earth, died for our sins, rose from the dead and ascended to the Father and sits at His right hand. -

We consume Him sacramentally. Cannibalism would be if we ripped off an arm and ate it.
The Eucharist is transformed into His Body and Blood. It didn't start out that way/ -
"Cannibal" . . . I like that. -

You do understand that this is a denominational board. So, I advise not putting your feet up on the furniture.

Most evangelicals fail to grasp the need to experience an intimate connection with Christ through Eucharistic participation. They don't realize that the right expectation from this holy act renews their ability to "abide in me, and I in them (John 6:55-56):"
"My flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them."
An evangelical attitude that trivializes Communion as a merely symbolic act leaves them open to participating in Communion in "an unworthy manner" that disrespects the Lord's presence in this sacramental act:
"Whoever eats the bread and drinks the cup in an unworthy manner will be answerable for the body and blood of the Lord!...For all who eat and drink without discerning the body at and drink judgment against themselves. For this reason, many of you are weak and ill, and some have died (1 Corinthians 11:27, 29-30)."
The divine judgment for a cavalier attitude towards the Eucharist can be severe because the participants are not discerning body of the crucified Christ through their harmonious discernment of the earthly manifestation of Christ's body, the church. -

I've tried explaining it several times now but you just can't seem to grasp it . . .
