You believe on Jesus??? He says you'll never thirst if you believe on him...Had anything to drink today, yesterday, or the day before??? Jesus says you don't believe on him then...

Really??? You are confusing the physical with the spiritual.

On the contrary, you are the one confused.

After Jesus' whole discourse in John 6 He goes on to say this. He tells us right here that they are not meant literally.

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.

Why don't you believe Him?

Christ is the bread of life. Christ is not a loaf of bread. The Bread is (becomes) his body. Perfectly clear.

Jesus never turned bread into his body...He said he 'is' the bread, not that he will become the bread...Your Church added that so you guys would think Jesus changed something and that your priest somehow had the power to do the same thing...Didn't happen...

Jesus dropped some bread on a table and said, 'this is my flesh, eat it'...He didn't turn bread into his flesh...The fact of the matter is the bread wasn't Jesus...Jesus was the bread...If what you hope would have happened, even then no bread turned into flesh...It was flesh that was bread...And not only can no one in your religion turn bread into Jesus' flesh, they certainly can't turn Jesus flesh into bread...

Show me one example where IS does not mean IS. Not 'is like' or Am. Where does Is does not mean Is?

So that's it...'IS' is the clincher...

Joh_10:38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.

While that's true, the same is said about we believers...I have a feeling 'is' is used in a spiritual sense...

Joh_10:38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.

As you can see, John had the same issue...

2Co_11:10 As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia.

And Paul as well...

Exo_9:3 Behold, the hand of the LORD is upon thy cattle which is in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep: there shall be a very grievous murrain.

Yep...That the physical hand of God...'IS' says so...

2Sa_22:2 And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;

The Lord is every Christian's rock, but he ain't limestone...

Psa_121:5 The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.

How many of these will it take to convince you that you are wrong??? I have a feeling that no amount of evidence will sway you...

Psa_84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

God is physically a sun, and a shade...

That's just barely touching the surface of how the word 'is' is not always used literally in the scriptures...So your 'IS' argument holds no water whatsoever...

Really??? You are confusing the physical with the spiritual.

Ya think??? And you're not???
