Admit it that the Protestants don’t have the Real Presence of Jesus Body and Blood, so they protest.

The Protestants are like the followers in the Bible (John) that didn’t believe the words of Jesus and stopped following Jesus.

Just because you and others say so, doesn’t make it the Truth.

It must make you uncomfortable to say that you follow Jesus, except for God’s gift of His Body and Blood among other teachings.

As Jesus said, Peace be with you. Pax vobiscum.

The ones who stopped following Jesus, were the ones who took Him literally. I take him figuratively, because I didn't want to sin by drinking blood. It does not make me feel uncomfortable in the slightest. I am totally comfortable in my belief. You may believe whatever you like. I just don't have to do it. I guess when Gabriel returns and blows his bugle, then we will know who's got it. Until then, I am satisfied. Have a nice forever. I know I will. 😇

They only take Him literally when it suits their needs. They still get hungry and thirsty. Go figure.

Let's see now....Jesus said "THIS IS MY BODY"

You and Bill Clinton argue over what the meaning of the word "is" is......brilliant...(in both instances)..not

That is true, Jesus had already tried explaining to them but they would not hear.

John 6

29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.

37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

39 And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Ever hear some one say ( Oh yeah, I might just make you eat those words )?

Jesus is the word, it is his words we must eat, not his literally body.
