The Lutheran Church does not hold to consubstantiation or transubstantiation because it refuses to speak of the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper in philosophical terns. The Lutheran Church takes a literal view of Jesus' words when he said, "This is my Body, and this is my Blood." He did not say, "This represents, symbolizes or means my body and blood, but this "is" my blood and body. Lutherans call this view "Real Presence" meaning that Jesus' true Body and Blood are actually, truly and substantially in, with, and under the bread and the wine. Thus, when one receives the wafer, one is actually and truly receiving Jesus along with the bread. The difference with transubstantiation is that transubstantiation holds that the bread is no longer bread, but wholly Jesus' Body. Lutheran's would say that Jesus is actually present in, with, and under the bread, but there is still bread present in the Sacrament. This view in the Lutheran Church is tied to First Corinthians 10:16 where St. Paul writes, "And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ?" In addition, Paul writes in First Corinthians 11:26 "For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes." Also, First Corinthians 11:27 "Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord." These references speak of the Host being bread as well as the Body of Christ.

Transubstantiation is the theological concept to explain the substance of the bread and wine entirely turning into the substance of Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ. Conseration is a misspelling of something.

Transubstantiation is the term used by the Catholic Church to describe what happens during the consecration when the entire substance of the bread and wine became the substance of Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ. Consubstantiation is Martin Luther's theory that Jesus exists along with the bread and wine for the duration of the Church service.
