Consubstantial is a term used in orthodox Christian theology. Derived from Greek, it describes the relationship between the three Divine Persons of the Christian Trinity and conotes that God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are "of the same substance" (or "of one essence" or "of one Being") in that the Son is "generated" ("born" or "begotten") "before all ages" or "eternally" of the Father's own Be

The words of institution are the words of Jesus Christ as recorded in the New Testament used in some forms of Christian liturgy to consecrate the Eucharist. Specifically, they are the words "This is my body" and "This is my blood." The Words of Institution are present in almost all known liturgies of the Christian church, and the most common formulation is the expanded text from Paul, as recorded in 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 (ESV): "For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jes ...

The Chalcedonian Creed was adopted at the Council of Chalcedon in 451 in Asia Minor. That Council of Chalcedon is one of the seven ecumenical councils accepted by Eastern Orthodox, Catholic, and many Protestant Christian churches. It is the first Council not recognized by any of the Oriental Orthodox churches. The Chalcedonian Creed was written amid controversy between the western and eastern churches over the meaning of the incarnation (see Christology), the ecclesiastical influence of the emperor, and the suprem ...

A Christian theological definition of Consubstantiation according to CARM - The Christian Apologetics & Research Ministry:

"

Consubstantiation

See also: Consubstantiation, Christianity, Body Mind and Soul)

Consubstantiation

The Lutheran doctrine of the Lord's Supper. It means an inclusion of one substance in another where the body and blood of Christ co-exist in the elements of the Supper. The body and blood of Christ are "in, with, and under" the elements.

There is no permanent relationship with the elements. Instead, the association is limited to the sacramental action. The transformation is effected by the Word of God and not by a priest

In England in the late 14th century, there was a political and religious movement known as Lollardy. Among much broader goals, the Lollards affirmed a form of consubstantiation -- that the Eucharist remained physically bread and wine, while becoming spiritually the body and blood of Christ. Lollardy was effectively ended with the execution of John Badby for heresy by burning at the stake. In literature the conflict between Consubstantiation and Transubstantiation was satirically described in Jonathan Swift's " ...

Anglican Churches generally use the term "Real Presence" without necessarily being more precise, though many Anglican divines utilize the Orthodox idea of metousiosis. Some Anglicans hold views nearly indistinguishable from transubstantiation, while others hold views closer to consubstantiation, or "pneumatic presence" or other Protestant views. A minority of Anglicans disavow the idea that the real presence is objective. As an extreme reaction against the idea of objective presence, it was associated with idea from Roman scholasticis ...

Lutherans subscribe to a form of the doctrine of the Eucharistic Real Presence, believing the body and blood of Jesus Christ are present in, with, and under the forms of bread and wine in the Lord's Supper. Lutheran divines have espoused views akin to the Orthodox metousiosis, and often speak and write of "Sacramental union." They do not endorse any particular view of how this takes place or the mode of presence, and regard attempts to explain in terms of philosophical metaphysics how the Eucharist "works" as disrespectful of t ...

The Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist was already well established in the Early Church. St. Ignatius of Antioch appears to have accepted the concept; in AD 106, he criticized those who "abstain from the Eucharist and the public prayer, because they will not admit that the Eucharist is the self-same Body of our Savior Jesus Christ, which [flesh] suffered for our sins, and which the Father in His goodness raised up again" (Epistle to the Smyrnaeans 6, 7). Similarly, St. Ambrose of Milan countered objections to the doctrine, writi ...

In contrast to the Orthodox and Catholic view, many Protestant churches hold that Holy Communion merely symbolically commemorates or memorializes Jesus' Last Supper with the disciples; this belief is known as "symbolism", "commemoration", or "transignification". Some fundamentalist Protestants see any doctrine of the real presence as idolatry, worshipping mere bread and wine as if it were God. Similarly, Andrew Lortie, a leading Huguenot t ...

The Roman Catholic Church holds that Christ directly instructed the Apostles in belief in the real presence, that the elements of the Eucharist become the body and blood of Christ. The Synoptic Gospels present the words of Christ concerning the bread and wine at the Last Supper: "This is my body... This is my blood" (Matthew 26:26-28). The Gospel of John records that Jesus said: "Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood you have no life in you" (John 6:53). Many of those who heard Jesus's words appear to have tak ...

Transubstantiation is generally understood to refer to the belief that at the "moment" of Consecration, the elements (or "gifts" as they are termed for liturgical purposes) of bread and wine are transformed (literally trans-substance-iated) into the actual Body and Blood of Christ. The terms "elements" or "gifts" are preferred, as it is theologically incorrect to refer to the "bread" or "wine" after they have been consecrated, as Roman Catholics believe they are no longer bread and wine. This doctrine holds that the elements are not only spi ...
