*****”It was because they were taking Jesus words literally to mean they had to eat His literal human flesh just like the Catholics do now.”*****
Actually, it wasn’t because they were taking Jesus literally, it was because they did not truly believe in Jesus and therefore did not fully trust in Him and therefore, did not understand how what He was saying could happen.
The others, the ones who also took Jesus literally did as we all should do when asked if this hard saying will cause us to leave,
“Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 We now believe and know that you are the Holy One of God.”
John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
But alas, the Catholics still insist, contrary to Jesus words, it is the flesh.
And not the flesh...
