take this all of you and eat it...'THIS IS MY BODY"....Take and drink of this, "THIS IS MU BLOOD"...doesn't sound figurative to me.

unless you eat of the flesh of the Son of Man and drink of His blood, you shall not have life within you.......Figurative????? I don't think so, but good luck with your theory.

When Jesus said, *I am the door* and *I am the true vine*, it doesn't sound very figurative to me.

Indeed, Jesus DOES say that it's figurative because in John 6:63. He TELLS us it's figurative when He says, 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.

see the danger in self-interpretation of the Bible.....Good grief!!
