Try to look at what Jesus told His disciples, the real disciples who did not leave when he used sarcasm on them, what He told them when He actually instituted the Communion of remembrance. If you insist on seeing only the John 6 scene, you will affirm the cannibalizing and be in spiritual violation of the Levitical command to NEVER eat the blood. If you look at the Upper Room scene you will read that Jesus called the contents of the REMEMBRANCE CUP wine, wine to be consumed in REMEMBRANCE of His blood to be shed for them the next day on the cross.
Dear Lord.
You actually believe that Christ was speaking sarcastically when He spoke of His Body and Blood?
He just said all that to drive away unfaithful Disciples, those who didn't understand that He didn't mean it?
But his true Disciples were the ones given the grace to see through his little subterfuge?
That's insane. Think what you are saying!
Christ is not Clinton. The Holy One of God is Truth itself: He does not lie.
Please give up these ... gymnastics. The Truth stares you in the face.
+ May Christ lead us into all truth +
Amen.
