Creationists, if the Bible is absolutely literal does that mean that Christ’s body was literally eaten?

It's like any book of literature. You take the meaning by it's context with the entire writing. Most parts you take literally and other parts metaphorically.

Some believe that Jesus turned the bread into his literal flesh and the wine into his blood. However, Jesus’ fleshly body was still intact when he offered this bread. Were Jesus’ apostles really eating his literal flesh and drinking his blood? No, for that would have been cannibalism and a violation of God’s law. (Genesis 9:3, 4; Leviticus 17:10) According to Luke 22:20, Jesus said: “This cup means the new covenant by virtue of my blood, which is to be poured out in your behalf.” Did that cup literally become “the new covenant”? That would be impossible, since a covenant is an agreement, not a tangible object.

Hence, both the bread and the wine are only symbols.

Explained in Mt. 26, Mark 14, Luke 22 1 Cor. 10-11. Memorial which is symbolic, figurative, metaphoric.

Job 12:11 Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?

Jeremiah 15:16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts.

No, it's not absolutely literal. Jesus often used metaphors and even hyperboles to communicate--just like we do today.

But some things are literal, like the Great Flood, and there is plenty of science to back it up.
