The ones who stopped following Jesus, were the ones who took Him literally. I take him figuratively

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

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

When I was a catholic, I believed He meant the bread was literally His body. Now that I am an ex catholic, I don't believe it at all. He meant it figuratively, because we are prohibited from drinking blood. That would be cannibalism. I am not into that. You can drink blood if you want, I won't do it. Cannibalism is evil, and I don't want to be evil. I understand things much better, now that I am an ex catholic. I am waiting for Gabriel to blow his bugle. Then we will see who has their stuff together. Have a nice forever. I KNOW I will. 😇 You can take that to the bank. 🏦

Leviticus 3:16 &17 The priest shall offer them up in smoke on the altar as food, an offering by fire for a soothing aroma; all fat is the LORD'S. 17 'It is a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings: you shall not eat any fat or any blood.'"

Were the disciples sitting for the Passover meal with Jesus included in the generations? Is the god you worship 'double-minded'? Or is The God of The Bible able to not contradict Himself?

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said,

“I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12)

I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. (John 10:9)

“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” (John 10:11)

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.” (John 11:25-26)

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5)
