"Christ was not speaking in a metaphor or allegory here. Otherwise, why did he say at the Last Supper, "This is my Body." "This is my Blood."It is metaphor. Note John 6:63, "The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and they are life." God Himself says the flesh counts for nothing right there in John 6 to explain, so why does the Church insist on claiming that it does?

LOL!
Always, Proetestant are saying that they take the Bible literally. Are you taking this passage literally? It doesn’t appear that you believe Christ’s words, am I right?

Peace be with you
