Well, He said He was the bread of life.
In the literal reading then He must be made of dough.
Just like when Jesus said He was the door, that would mean He was made of wood, or the vine that He was made of plant.
If we’re to take one verse literally, we must take them all literally right?
And if we take one verse in a passage or discourse literally, then it’s disingenuous to take the rest figuratively and choose between literal meaning and figurative meaning on a verse by verse basis.
The problem with demanding that people take the verse about eating Jesus actual flash and blood literally, is that the whole rest of the teaching that that sentence is buried in makes NO SENSE at all when taken literally. But it does it it’s spiritual/figurative.
Jesus used a lot of material objects to describe Himself—He said, “I am the Light.” “I am the Door.” “I am the Shepherd.”
But He never said, “That light is Me.” “That door is Me.” “That shepherd is Me.”
However, He did say, “That Bread is Me. That Wine is Me.”
