"I am "The Son of Man,"

He is the Son of Man; that's not metaphor.

""The Light of the World," "The Way the Truth and the Life," “The Vine” and "The Door.”

All refer to His concepts and values, which He came in person to teach.

"“I am the Bread of Life,"

Metaphor. It refers to the exact same concepts and values as the above metaphors refer to. See John 6:63 wherein God explains it.

"But when Jesus said, “I am the Bread of Life," he was not just using another metaphor. He really meant what he said. What does it mean to consume Jesus Christ? For one thing, it means that Jesus Christ, the maker of all things, who is on an order being far beyond anything we can imagine, is inviting us to his table as a friend, something unimaginable to us now."

That's just sad Father Gary.

Are you a priest? Judging a priest?

Then I guess you would have been one of the disciples who rejected Jesus’ teaching and left. Bye—
