John 6:48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. 50 This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. 51I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh."

OK, presuming that the passage does say that the bread and wine actually do turn into the literal body and blood of Christ, what about this part of the passage where it says that anyone eats of His body, he will live forever?

Seems to me that everyone who has ever taken communion in the Catholic church has died. Unless the Catholic church has saints that it claims are almost 2,000 years old?

That’s the catholic way.

Now for the REAL WAY, the ONLY WAY, those who are ‘in Christ’ have eternal life now. He has denied nothing from His church. Praise God!

You don't seem, according to this post, have any familiarity with the Holy Gospel. Here's the good news: those who live according to the manner that the Catholic Chruch proposes for their salvation, even though they experience death, live forever. One who takes communion worthily s ready for heaven and eternal life, exactly as Jesus taught. "Whosoever believeth in him, may not perish; but may have life everlasting" (John 3:15)

You bet, and older. Righteous Abel is a saint of the Catholic Church, for example.

This post, I am sorry to say, is stunningly ignorant of Christianity.
