"...I'm quoting DIRECTLY from the Bible - very CLEAR verses in their proper context and you still don't get it! There is no "interpretation issue" going on here."
John 6:51-71 is also very clear....How do you interpret these verses in their proper context?
But why did you not start at verse 47???
Joh 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
And then if you go up a few more verses in the same chapter and read:
Joh 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
Now you MUST realize that this verse is figurative...Unless of course, you've never eaten nor drank anything since you became Catholic...So then, how do you take the verses you cited as being literal when the context up above is figurative???
Does it not make sense then, that the next verses which are in the same context are figurative as well???
And why would someone try to convince you those verses you referred to are literal??? Ever think of that???
Joh 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
If you belong to Jesus, right now, he will never cast you out...Never...
