To non Catholic Christians let's talk John 6:34-69

[Into the Night]

So can you prove from the text that Jesus is not speaking literally or cant you? The "out of context" nonsense is what people say when they have no counter argument.

You are not Jesus Christ. YOU are taking snippets out of context.
Assumption of victory fallacy.

Now you are taking the entire book of John out of context.

The Bible contains many books, that reinforce what I have said. Jesus is describing the sacrament, and speaking symbolically.

 

[Bai Lan]

I'd love to hear your take on those verses.

ok.

transubstantiation.

a non important doctrine designed strictly for schismatism.

a distraction from THE central and MOST IMPORTANT TEACHING:

the golden rule.

ho hum.

Just as predicted.

 

[Bai Lan]

"do this is in remembrance of me"

 

[Bai Lan]

not
"do this when you're hangry and can't get to burger king"

 

[gfm7175]

Thank you but that doesn't really explain what Jesus is saying here. He declared that the bread he will give is his flesh then goes on to confirm 4 more times 53, unless you eat the flesh of the some of man and drink his blood you do not have life within you. 54 whoever feeds upon my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal.life. 55 for my flesh is real food... 56 whoever feeds upon my flesh and drinks .my blood dwells in him and I in him. My understanding is the Greek work used here for eat is "gnaw". Pretty clear

I see a couple of problems with the way that you are understanding these passages:

1) Communion hadn't been instituted yet.
2) If these words were in reference to communion, then it would be teaching that any partaker of communion receives eternal life, which isn't true.
