How can Jesus' body be in multiple places at once?

[tconner]

I have been speaking with a Calvinist for a little more than a month, he has brought up many good questions, this is just one that I have not been able to give a sufficient answer. His question is how can Jesus body be in two places at once, in relation to the Eucharist. The last supper being the best example that Jesus body would have been holding his body. I have tried to answer this question using the ideas of God’s time, and the Glorified body of Christ, but he is able to shoot these down quickly. He says that Jesus body is just like our body, and we can not be physically in two places at once, if Jesus body can do this he says that his human body is different than ours.

Hi,

Does he really think that because he can’t figure out how God can do something, then God can’t do it? Give me a break! God is NOT limited by our inability to fully comprehend Him. He is not just a bigger version of us. If He can create us out of nothing, then to make His body present in more than one place at the same time has got to be a cinch for Him. Since He created the rules of physics, He can stretch them or do anything He wants with them—without explaining it to skeptical Calvinists. Indeed Jesus’ body is different from ours now because it is a resurrected, glorified body!

The Eucharist is a miracle—His greatest miracle, according to St. Thomas Aquinas. Many disciples left Him over it. Only those who loved Him enough to trust with what they didn’t understand were able to be benefit from it. This is still the case!
