[Manfred the Wonder Dawg]

eh, no - I haven’t missed that bit of John, I merely have the God given understanding of what it means and do not hold to the RCC magic show mysticism that was created by men to control men.

Hi Manfred, Did I miss something? wasn't it Christ who commanded: "Unless you eat of the Flesh of the Son of Man, you shall not have life in you". it is amazing the number of Protestants who want literal translations of the Bible - who then backslide, mumble and obscure when it comes to John 6:53-58. It appears Manfred and his source are in the group who says: “This is too hard..” as in John 6:60-66. Christ was not equivocal - either you is or you isn't. I don't retract a thing. Lurking"

I merely have the God given understanding of what it means . . .

The God-given understanding of Holy Eucharist is Transubstantiation. Congratulations on accepting God's Truth.

Maybe next time you dismiss something as "RCC magic show mysticism" you should consider what the hundreds of millions of your fellow Protestants believe because the belief in the "Real Presence" IS NOT unique to the Catholic Church, it is held to varying degrees by the Orthodox, Lutherans, Anglicans, Methodists and others.

It is strange that some people hate Catholics so much that they label things "RCC magic show mysticism" when the TRUTH is that the ONLY belief that is unique to the Catholic Church is papal primacy, ALL other beliefs are held by millions of Protestants.
