The LC teaches a sacramental union of the body and blood in, with, and under the bread and wine with the mode of His presence being the same mode He used when He passed through the midst of the crowd, left the sealed tomb, and entered a closed room. I see no connection.
speratus,

That may satisfy your own conscience as to how the LC differs from the RCC. But it certainly doesn't justify the LC's view according to the Scripture. The examples you provided above, e.g., Jesus "passing through the midst of the crowd, left the sealed tomb," etc., cannot explain how the resurrected Christ can be present in the bread and wine in 100's of places simultaneously. For the resurrected Christ, the PERSON of Christ, is still spatially bound (sits at the right hand of God, will return again on the clouds, etc.) The PERSON of Christ is not Omnipresent.... the eternal Son of God, being equal to the Father and Spirit as deity is Omnipresent. Again, this is why the Lord Christ sent the Holy Spirit in his place when he ascended to be with the Father.

No matter how you slice it, your view contradicts both the clear teaching of Scripture and Chalcedon. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/igiveup.gif" alt="" />
