>> Elsie, you go ahead and dine on the Bible.<<

That is after all how God says to do it in His word.

Jeremiah 15:16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.

Notice we are to “eat the word” and then speak it to others.

Ezekiel 3:1 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel. 2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll. 3 And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness. 4 And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them.

>> We catholics will dine on our Lord, Jesus Christ.<<

Christ said to “eat His flesh” because He is the WORD.

John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

And His word is Spirit, not flesh.

John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

Why do Catholics keep focusing on the flesh when Jesus said “the flesh profiteth nothing”?

Lots of quotes from the OT followed by a HUGE GAP to John 1. Am I to understand that Evangelical ministers ignore John 6?
