John 6:28-29
Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”

Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”

Then you should believe in the words of Jesus: “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you”

Apparently, belief can be selective, and one can ignore the words of Jesus that they don’t agree with.

Apparently, allegory and metaphor can be selective, and one can literalize the words of Jesus that they want to.

It looks like you disagree with many of the words of Jesus. Don't eat blood. We are not discussing brain surgery here. Either God meant don't eat blood or He didn't. MamaB, do they care what is written.

Selective belief. Like when Jesus says that the Spirit gives life the flesh is no help at all. The words He spoke were Spirit and life.

Or maybe *Call no man "Father"*.

Or living forever? Where are there 2,000 year old Catholics walking the earth?
