no, Christ always explained himself, if they truly misunderstood he was only using an analogy, he would not have let them walk away.
“no, Christ always explained himself, if they truly misunderstood he was only using an analogy, he would not have let them walk away.”
He let them walk away because He already knew who would believe on Him and who would betray.
Joh 6:64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
It says it very specifically in the scripture I cited, when the Jews murmured against Christ’s words, Jesus immediately explains that only those given to Him by the Father can come to Him. Indeed, no one not of God can even see God.
Joh 6:46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
The Pharisees of that time, and any unbeliever actually, are blind and cannot see. It is the Spirit which must quicken a man, so that He may see with spiritual eyes and confess Christ.
1Co_12:3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
Christ’s discourse is spiritual, and so must be understood spiritually.
Christ forced Himself on no one.
