Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you. (John 6:54)
Either our Lord meant what He said and we must obey Him or He lied to us. If we believe He lied to us, then this entire discussion is useless. However, because we know that He did not lie, then we must accept that to have life we must eat His Flesh and drink His Blook.
"Eats: the verb used in these verses is not the classical Greek verb used of human eating, but that of animal eating: 'munch', 'gnaw.' " (New American Bible footnotes to John 6:54)
pretty clear to me.
Exactly.
