53Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you.

Do you not understand the words of God? Or is this subject only to your interpretation? Why do you respond by changing the subject?

>>Or is this subject only to your interpretation?<<

No interpretation needed. Jesus explained to the desciples in that same passage that it He was not talking about physical flesh. He said that flesh "prophiteth nothing" and that it was spiritual.

So please answer the question. If it's an "unbloody sacrifice" how can you literally be drinking blood?

John 6:63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.

So now it behooves you to explain away the contradiction>

Is it the Spirit or eating Jesus which gives life?
