***Ever notice how some folks hop-scotch their way through John 6?
Laughably transparent.***
I just am amazed that a non Christian bothers to read John at all.
Well, there is that.
The YOPIOS crowd prefer to go straight to the epistles of Saint Paul. If the actual Words of Jesus Christ conflict with their interpretation of what Paul wrote, they dismiss the Teachings of Christ as allegorical or symbolic and proceed to construct a theology around their interpretation of the Pauline epistles.
Saint Peter explicitely warned that this would happen:
14 Wherefore, dearly beloved, waiting for these things, be diligent that you may be found before him unspotted and blameless in peace. 15 And account the longsuffering of our Lord, salvation; as also our most dear brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, hath written to you:
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are certain things hard to be understood, which the unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction. 17 You therefore, brethren, knowing these things before, take heed, lest being led aside by the error of the unwise, you fall from your own steadfastness. 18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and unto the day of eternity. Amen.
-- 2 Peter 3:14-18
