Are you dismissing what Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians, then? If saying “bread” was good enough for the Apostle Paul, it’s good enough for me. Or do you disagree with what the Apostle Paul wrote? Did he mis-word his sentences accidentally? Was he imprecise?

How much Greek have you studied, by the way?

[agere_contra]

"Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day."

Christ did not misspeak: nor was He imprecise.

Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this said, “This is a hard saying; who can hear it?”

Some of the disciples demurred at Christs words. Some of them left. But Christ did not 'walk back' His words. He meant what He said, and went on to reinforce what He said:

“Does this cause you to stumble? What then if you see the Son of Man ascending to where He was before? It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.

Paul does not dispute this, of course. From Corinthians:

The chalice of benediction, which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ ? And the bread, which we break, is it not the partaking of the body of the Lord?

Doubt no longer, but believe.

Isn’t John 6 in your bible?

Or do you believe in sola scripture sans John 6?
