“Well, there goes confession, absolution, purgatory, and that well-used transubstantiation gimmick. Rome is stuck with the words of Jesus.”
That is the prattle of a twelve-year-old.
Try reading a bit further.
8:34. Jesus answered them: Amen, amen, I say unto you that whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
8:35. Now the servant abideth not in the house forever: but the son abideth forever.
8:36. If therefore the son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.
Wait just a darn minute here...we were told that the words of Jesus were to be taken literally with “Eat my body”. There was no admission of “keep reading”. The Roman cultists break their own rule and foist the error on the world. Sorry...peddle your selective hermeneutic somewhere else, we the ones who keep reading.
