"Let the LITTLE children be, and do not hinder them from coming to me, for os such is the kingdom of heaven."

hmmm, so by your words, infants can go to Jesus on thier own volition?

YOu are taking this way to deep...The scriptures are literal, not hidden code to be deciphered.

Literal King James English? Funny, I thought they were written in Greek and Hebrew and Aramaic.

Silly me, what did I know!

They were hindering them by preventing their parents from bringing them to Him. Read the verses.

Earlier, in a discussion of the Eucharist in the context of John chapter 6, you posted:

Actually, Christ didn't mean for it to be taken literally.

Now you say: The scriptures are literal, not hidden code to be deciphered.

Which is it?

If Jesus didn’t mean for His words to be taken literally ("eat my flesh and drink my blood"), why did He allow almost all of His followers to leave Him over a miscommunication? The crowds knew He was speaking literally; otherwise they wouldn't have had any problem with what He said.

Surely the living Word of God would not have permitted such a colossal misunderstanding to take place.
