John 6:41
The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven
The Bible defines bread in diverse ways. It can be in many forms, one of which is cake (Exodus 29:23; Judges 7:13). How sad and tragic when someone loses the poetry and grace of this so simple but Spiritually uplifting thing and replaces it with a recipe of molecular gastronomy.
Matthew 15:9
But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Don't get me wrong, Mr. Stone. Jesus once refused to turn your kind into a loaf of bread (Luke 4:3) but we shall persist in Him and continue helping you.

You have not told us the difference between bread and cake.
Your definition of bread cannot be taken seriously, since during the hot days in Asia, many Asians will eat rice with sweat on their forehead.

Dear, it was not my definition but actually a Biblical definition. Look it up. You're also making a fallacy, the association fallacy that can be described as... - Premise A is a B
- Premise A is also a C
- Conclusion Therefore, all Bs are Cs
A is bread, B sweat and C rice. This means that the association between bread and sweat and, on the other hand, rice and sweat does not mean that I claimed that rice = bread. Of course, for many people it is. You are probably familiar with the fact that the Message of Jesus is often presented in the form approachable to various cultures. For, instance, let us look at Matthew 6:11.
我らの日用の糧を今日もあたへ給へ。
糧 Is of special interest. Its main meaning is 'provisions', bread as the metaphor for sustenance.
Next fallacy, ex silentio. You're using the absence of material (difference between cake and bread) as evidence for your case. Absence of evidence is bot evidence. In this case, the categories of cake and bread are not separate in the Bible, so why should I separate them. It's all in the context. For instance, an interesting case of baking is in Ezekiel where the categories of cake and bread are interchangable in the following two verses.
Ezekiel 4:12-13
And thou shalt eat it [as] barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight. And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive them.
You're asking us to participate in your categorization that is just a straw man (a fallacy) of the richness of the concept of bread in the Bible. Why should we limit ourselves to your vain details?
Yours in Christ,
Elmer

糧 does mean food. But of course, context is important in translation. The context of this thread is not Matthew 6:11, but the Last Supper. Grain scientists see a difference between cake and bread. I don't believe that anyone would ever say that Matthew 6:11 could be written in Japanese as:
我らの日用の ケーキを今日もあたへ給へ。
Or in Chinese as:
給我們這一天我們日常的蛋糕
I suppose you would say that it was an acceptable translation.
But what I have written is not a good translation of Matt 6:11 because there is a difference between cake and bread and that is what you fail to see. At the Last Supper, Jesus took bread and not cake. You can look it up in the Japanese, Korean, Chinese, or any other translation.

Bzzzzt. One "grain scientist" (whatever that is) you found said that.
That does not mean that anyone, let alone everyone in that field, agrees with them.

Please see above for a Biblical explanation of the overlapping categories of bakery products.

Why do you respect one secular scholar over the Bible? Have you now established that Jesus defined bread from the viewpoint of gluten with suitable documentation? Until you assess these issues your categorization remains an opinion. Why should we accept your definition as relevant for God?
The ad nauseam is starting to live up to its name, isn't it?
Incidentally, how does (from the Catholic viewpoint) failure to consume gluten-containing wafers affect a person's chances for Salvation? How does it compare with other trespasses? Is the the table of devils?
Corinthians 10:4
And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

If you check your Japanese Bible, either the Protestant or the Catholic version, it does not matter, you will see how Mark 14:22 or Luke 22:19 is translated. You will see the word:パン
You will not see the word:
ケーキ
Why do you suppose that this is so?
Even lay people, except possibly, for members of your landover church, see a difference between bread and cake.
As I said already, at the Last Supper, Jesus said to do this in remembrance of Me. He did not say to do something else.
This does not mean that Jesus is impotent. And it is certainly a Big Lie to say that Catholics teach such.

This is interesting. I did refer to the common people earlier as an example of the diversity of the definitions for bread. Now you use it in a different manner. You use it as an ad populum to show that "cake" and "bread" are totally different categories. As such, this is (obviously) a fallacy, as the Truth™ does on depend on the number of followers of a claim. It is also (one again) a straw man, as you have not demonstrated that the presence or absence of gluten (down to the last molecule, or do you accept homeopathic gluten?) is the line that laypeople use to differentiate between these two baking products. Did you know that many birthday cakes (a sweet product with decoration) do contain gluten, btw? In fact, a majority of them are wheat-based, so they fall into the bread category if we follow your reasoning (I am consciously using the reductio ad absurdum here, but it does show that gluten content will not help you distinguish between cakes and bread - it is a definition that probably won't coincide with your intuitive classification).
We do know that as totally immersed followers of Jesus we are a minority (which undermines your slight ad hominem even further). We are not interested in the majority opinion but in the Bible. The main issue - why Jesus would glorify only gluten-containing products during an era when millet and buckwheat were cultivated - remains (and how it affects Salvation). It does not disappear by the red herring (unsurprisingly, a fallacy) strategy of discussing vocabulary choices (apart from those in the Bible, where cakes and bread overlap) instead.
2 Timothy 2:23
But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.
The complaint about Catholics being mistreated is just an ad misericordiam - the Truth™ does not change even if you feel that you have been mistreated. You can still be wrong.
Yours in Christ,
Elmer

From the dictionary:

I don't see here anything about gluten, do you?

c : a flattened usually round mass of food that is baked or fried: a fish cake

It's a breadlike substance which main ingredient is flour. Again, nothing about gluten. It looks like according to this definition, Indian bread falls under the definition of cake, not bread. I hope this helps you to understand that the difference between a cake a bread is rather murky and definitely not gluten-based.
Also, according to this dictionary definition, Communion wafers definitely fit the definition of a cake (a) rather than bread (small flat shape and unleavened). Why would you agree to such a heresy as a Catholic?!
