It is an assumption on your part based on logic that the eternal life Jesus' speaks of in v.'s 53-58 is spiritual not physical. Why not use the same logic about his speaking of eating his flesh.? Logic based on the fact that the Law said Jews were forbidden to drink blood, forbidden by God to eat human flesh. Gee, that's what I've been doing. To me, it's plain what John 6 is saying, as it is the rest of Scripture.

Fury, let me reason with you, if Jesus literally turned bread to human flesh, and wine to blood, and the disciples knew and understood what he had done when he gave them the bread and wine at the Passover meal, do you believe then that they now understood that the laws of clean and unclean foods were done away with from this time on?
