Twelve times he said he was the bread that came down from heaven; four times he said they would have “to eat my flesh and drink my blood.” John 6 was an extended promise of what would be instituted at the Last Supperand it was a promise that could not be more explicit.
You dont repeat a symbol 12 times, if you mean something is real, you dont toss out an analogy and say four times EAT MY FLESH AND DRINK MY BLOOD, if its not REAL.
last word to you sir.
Then Jesus was made out of bread dough, not muscle and bone.
After all, we must take the words of Jesus literally, mustn't we?
