>>Then start doing this!<<

What an arrogant, presumptuous, mind reading thing to say. What in heavens name makes you think I haven’t?

>>Believe on Him, and all he said<<

I already do including this.

Matthew 15:17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

1 Corinthians 10:3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat; 4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

>>“Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and Drink His Blood, you have no life in you”<<

You can rely on the physical, carnal, and rituals but I will listen to the Spirit of God and dwell on the Spiritual rather than the physical.

But you listen to your traditions, and not the clear words of Scripture.

Here is a suggestion. For just a while, ignore your traditions and read the Bread of life discourse in John for the first time. Assume that the words mean what they say - "This is My Body" means "This is my Body" and not what you pretend those words to mean. Explore the Scripure as if you believe Scripture to be infallible and true.

Again, before you can understand this you must gain an understanding of the difference between substance and property. The accidents of the Eucharist pass through the body, but the substance of God remains. At the most basic level think of why the Eucharist is often referred to as a host.

Peace be with you.
