John 6:53-58 53 So Jesus said to them, “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. 54 Whoever FEEDS ON my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. 55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. 57 As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the bread the fathers ate, and died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.”
OK, this is the passage that Catholics use to justify transubstantiation. Why do Catholics die? JESUS SAID THAT WHOEVER ATE (CATHOLICS SAY IT MUST BE DONE PHYSICALLY) WOULD NEVER DIE. If someone is going to be consistent in their Bible interpretation then it must mean that whoever physically eats of the physical body and blood of Jesus will never physically die.
It is the height of hypocrisy and points to deception to interpret verses literally or not on a line by line basis. It violates general principles of interpretation of ANYTHING, much less Scripture.

Correction `~(~!.
Catholics don’t say it, Christ does. And the term Our Lord used was “eat” not FEEDS ON.
He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day.
Non-Catholic Christians reject the Eucharist because the cannot confect it. Protestantism broke away from the faith in the 16th century, they have no priesthood.
And the rest of the comments above don’t require a response,
they obviously can be left.
OK. Then why do Catholic die if they’ve eaten Jesus?
Didn’t Jesus promise that anyone who ate Him would never die?
it’s a good argument, which is no surprise since it’s Biblical truth and all; but it will only work on people smart enough to comprehend “everlasting life”
