If Jesus turns into flesh and blood, you haven't been thirsty a day in your life since you became a Catholic... oh come now, if you eat of the flesh and drink of the blood, you shall not hunger nor thirst for Christ.....not soda and popcorn..
Sorry, won't work...That's not what the verse says...You have to stick with the script, not make up your own...
But either way, it's a metaphor isn't it...
Joh 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
No one is thirsty for Jesus...They're thirsty for liquid...No one is hungry for Jesus...People are hungry for hamburgers...Something to satisfy their stomachs...
IT'S A METAPHOR for something spiritual...
Jesus didn't make any exceptions. If you are going to be literal about the literal eating of flesh and drinking of blood, do at least be consistent and interpret the rest of the sentence literally as well.
Jumping between literal and metaphorical to justify doctrine is as poor hermeneutics as there could possibly be.
All it does is convince others that the Catholic church is being duplicitous when it tries to justify it's doctrine using Scripture.
