" reject doctrines that are unsupported by Scripture."

And we consider John 6 scriptural -- so why don't you believe in the True Presence in the Eucharist -- to deny this is to deny scripture in our (Catholic, Orthodox AND Lutheran/Anglican) point of view

Of course John 6 is Scriptural. Jesus explained to His disciples that He wasn’t speaking of physically consuming flesh:

“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.”

That is Scriptural. To believe that during the Eucharist bread magically turns into the literal flesh of Christ is, to use Jesus’ words, “no help at all.”
