So you’re claiming that denying that Christ is literally and physically contained in the wafer is denying the deity of Christ? Surely you can’t be serious. I’m denying the deity of the wafer. Catholics claim a wafer is their deity. That’s not only making and “image” of God but claiming that “image” is in fact God. That is idolatry.

In the Passover meal, the blood of the Passover lamb was NEVER eaten.

In Egypt, the the blood was used to mark the doorposts of the house so the death angel would pass over that house.

There are plenty of other verses in John 6 which the Catholics refuse to take literally at all but rather they focus on ONE verse and take it out of context and interpret it inconsistently with the rest of the chapter and then whine about why we don’t accept their interpretation.

Jesus said that the flesh profits for nothing. The words that He spoke were spirit and life. He also said that if we eat his flesh we’d never hunger or thirst again. Why don’t they take those verses literally?

Do Catholics eat again because they’re hungry or do they drink again because they’re thirsty? Don’t they believe Jesus?

Don't accept the extremely clear meaning of James 2:24 and, " ... not by faith only"?

Titus 3:9 but avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law. For they are unprofitable and vain.
Titus 3:10 A man that is a heretic, after the first and second admonition, avoid:
Titus 3:11 Knowing that he, that is such an one, is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned by his own judgment.

Those who continue to deny the deity of Christ can fool themselves however they like, but they should get used to the idea of hearing, "I never knew you" from the very Jesus Christ they deny is God.
