“thats right, those who left realized he was talking about his literal flesh, and Christ did not correct them.....as they knew and HE knew what he was talking about.”


Actually, they walked away for the exact opposite reason. They were carnally minded, and could not understand Him. Because, as Christ said, only those given to Christ could understand, for God gives them hearing and heals their blind eyes.

Joh 6:43-44 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves. (44) No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

Salvation is essentially a work of God, from beginning to end. No man comes to the Father, except God draws Him first.

Joh 6:64-65 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. (65) And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.

no, Christ always explained himself, if they truly misunderstood he was only using an analogy, he would not have let them walk away.
