John 6:64 It is the spirit that quickens: the flesh profits nothing. The words that I have spoken to you, are spirit and life.

The flesh profits nothing. Eating Jesus doesn't do a thing.

It's the Spirit who gives life, not eating.

The flesh profits nothing.

Then I suppose your position is that Christ's crucifixion profited nothing?

Eating Jesus doesn't do a thing.

Is this an admission that Christ is Really, Truly, and Substantially present in the Eucharist, Body, Blood Soul & Divinity?

It's the Spirit who gives life, not eating.

Yes, and just as the Spirit of God gave life to Man, infused him with the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, So God gave life to the Eucharist and commanded us to Eat.

"Therefore whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord... not discerning the body of the Lord" (1 Corinthians 11, 27‑29).
