unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you. He was referring to Judas, son of Simon the Iscariot;

Interesting you should post this (rather than one of your two images) in response to an article that teaches true faith is an obedient faith, which RCs imagine characterizes their church.

So you believe (to be consistent) that those who do not believe in transubstantiation have no spiritual life in them, but are as Judas?

Yet being consistent with John and the rest of Scripture, spiritual life was never gained by physically eating, and thus eating here is consistent with John who teaches believing the gospel is how souls obtained life in them, and they lived by Jesus by doing His will as it is written, (Mt. 4:4) as Jesus lived by the Father by doing His, which was His "bread." (Jn. 4:34; 6:47)

Matthew 4:1-4 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. And the tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.” But he answered,

“It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

John 6:63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
