“you are taking that out of context, It is OUR flesh that profits us nothing.”
It says “the” flesh, not OUR flesh. The immediate reference is to those who were offended at the concept of literally eating and drinking His blood.
“It is NOT the flesh of Jesus that profits nothing, especially since Jesus also tells us in verses 49 to 58:”
The flesh He is offering goes to the cross, takes on the sin of the world, dies and rises again. But, in response to people getting offended at the literal idea of eating and drinking blood, Christ says His words are spiritual, and the flesh profiteth nothing. IOW, eating and drinking Christ’s physical body would have no effect, as the real effect required is a spiritual effect, that occurs in the heart for all those who believe.
It is NOT like the manna that came down in the wilderness, that men did literally eat.
Joh 6:58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
It is a spiritual bread, attained through Faith:
Joh 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
thats right, those who left realized he was talking about his literal flesh, and Christ did not correct them.....as they knew and HE knew what he was talking about.
