Apparently, belief can be selective, and one can ignore the words of Jesus that they don’t agree with.

It looks like you disagree with many of the words of Jesus. Don't eat blood. We are not discussing brain surgery here. Either God meant don't eat blood or He didn't. MamaB, do they care what is written.

You still don’t understand the words of Jesus about His Body and Blood that is for our salvation contrasted against the old mosaic law about eating blood and meat of sacrificed animals to idols.

I partake of the Eucharist because Jesus told us to do so. I believe that it is His Body and Blood and I feel much closer to God.

If you can’t or won’t understand the difference in a gift of God for our salvation compared to a general statement of a Jewish custom, then perhaps you are not listening to God’s word and following false teachings.

It seems to me that non Catholics struggle to come up with a minor issue/distraction/excuse to avoid dealing with God’s explicit words.

I suggest that the Catholic Church’s teaching that only Catholics should receive the Eucharist, then non catholics have to deny this teaching of Jesus.
