Care to try your parsing on #365?
What Jeus said in John 6 is no different than what God relayed through Isaiah:
Isaiah 55:1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
Isaiah 55:2 Wherefore do ye spend money for [that which is] not bread? and your labour for [that which] satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye [that which is] good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
Isaiah 55:3 Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, [even] the sure mercies of David.
The bread of life, even in old testament times was the word of the living God. As deuteronomy tells us. Man does not live by [physical] bread alone; but, by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. IE, what God says gives life. It isn't the eating of some physical food. And Christ so stated.
As for the meal of remembrance, do you have any clue how God addressed the failure of an israelite to follow God's command re the 7 days of unleavened bread - the feast of unleavened bread. Anyone violating it was cut off from the house of Israel. That's scripture. Symbolic gestures are
to be headed in the manner in which God directed. They are no less symbolic jestures.
So what exactly is it you think needs parsed?
