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.

I have never met anyone who is so good at making presumptions at what others say as Catholics.

They can come to conclusions so unrelated to the topic at hand that it really leaves one wondering what pathways of thought are being used.

It's small wonder that Catholics believe that they cannot understand Scripture without someone telling them what it means.

If what I see here on FR is an example of how Catholics interpret Scripture, they probably really are better off letting someone else do it for them.

And lest I be accused of not answering the question, no, that is not my position. My position is that eating a piece of wheat bread that someone claims is Jesus' body does not impart spiritual life because spiritual life comes from the Spirit, as Jesus said.

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.

There is not any Scripture that supports that nor is there any mention of the word *eucharist* in the Bible.
