Sorry, but I wasn’t quoting from the Last Supper but from Christ’s Discourse on the Bread of Life. I’ll take his words, just as they are, thank you.
Sure. Ignore the Greek where the words are different and have different meaning.
That’s the way to interpret Scripture.....
John 6:54 He who eats 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 He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. Now let’s go to the next verse where Jesus begins to explain.
57 As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also will live because of Me. 58 This is the bread which came down out of heaven; not as the fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread will live forever.
Notice where He said “this is the breadwhich came down out of heaven? Did Jesus physical body come down from heaven or was He born a true human in the flesh? Jesus was not talking about His physical flesh. Jesus said His words are spirit, not flesh.
If you want to take Jesus words “just as they are” then you will have to admit that He is also a “door” and a “sheep”.
