Those are God’s words. Jesus said them repeatedly and addressed your problem with eating flesh and blood. Why do you not believe?

You have a hangup with certain words, and instead of accepting God’s word and instructions, you insist on your own definition and chose to ignore God’s words.

Why are your words superior to God’s direct message?

Jesus said this about His words regarding eating of His flesh.

Why don't you believe them?

John 6:63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.

He's telling us right here that He's talking about SPIRITUAL consuming, not physical.

It could not be more clear.

And since it does not violate the entire weight of Scripture behind it, it can be concluded to be an accurate interpretation.

The interpretation that it is PHYSICALLY eating literal flesh and blood cannot be correct because it violates the clear commands of God set forth in the Law, which Jesus said He came to fulfill.

>>Why are your words superior to God’s direct message?<<

Genesis 9:4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.

Deuteronomy 12:23 Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh. 24 Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water.

Acts 15:28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; 29 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.

Why do you insist that Jesus and the apostles sinned and broke the law and caused others to do the same?

You have a hangup with certain words, and instead of accepting God’s word and instructions, you insist on your own definition and chose to ignore God’s words.

Those verses about not eating the blood ARE God's words, not CB's.

They are God's direct message.

Why don't you listen to them?
