Isn’t once enough?

You only get to do it ONCE, we get to eat the ‘Flesh of the Son of Man’ as often as daily, and we do it because Christ told us to do it:

“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him” (John 6:53–56)

For the Greater Glory of God

Unless it's Mom or a Saint. They'll already be raised.

If eating Jesus is enough, once is enough.

There should be no reason to repeat it daily.

Christ dwells in my heart by faith. He doesn't live in my digestive track until He's eliminated.

Besides, Jesus in that passage, also tells us that it is the Spirit who gives life, the flesh is no help at all.

SO which is it that gives life? The Spirit, or eating flesh and blood, which is expressly forbidden throughout Scripture?

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.

Ephesians 3:14-19 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being,so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
