John 6:35 Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.

Do you get hungry or thirsty? Or whoops, we don't take this one literally......do we?

John 6:51, 51 I 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." 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the bread the fathers ate and died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever."

Hmmm, didn't Jesus have a human flesh and blood body? Oh? He ISN'T made out of dough even though He says He's bread? Not taking that one literally either?

What about living forever? Catholics claim that they eat the actual flesh and blood of Jesus but here He says that anyone who does will never die. Are we switching between literal and spiritual in mid-sentence? Or do Catholics plan on literally living forever in the physical bodies that physically eat the physical body and blood of Jesus?

As predictable as almost all your posts.

As a matter of fact, the answer is no, I no longer hunger for the true Church, for I have found it.

And, I no longer thirst for knowledge for I have the deep well of the Deposit of Faith within the Catholic Church from which to draw.

Actually, He took bread and gave thanks, took the bread, broke and gave it to His Apostles, saying, And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

I believe in the immortality of the soul and the resurrection of the body.
