We keep getting those verses in John 6 quoted at us.

So eating the flesh and blood really doesn’t do it after all?

Then there’s a problem because Jesus says that eating His flesh and drinking His blood gives eternal life. He didn’t give any exceptions. If those verses are to be taken literally, then the flesh and blood has to work, all the time.

Now the Church adds more conditions to it that Jesus never mentioned.

Perhaps the literal interpretation isn’t the correct one after all because either Jesus is wrong or the Catholic church is.

Seeing this as a contradiction within Catholicism would be an odd way of interpreting things.

We believe what Jesus said about His Body and Blood in John 6. How could you hear those powerful words, those precious promises concerning His Body and Blood, and say anything other than Amen?

We believe what Paul said in 1 Corinthians about the unworthy reception of the Sacred Body and Blood.

We interpret Scripture with Scripture.

You do too, I betcha!
