Your comment: “I am not saying “eat my flesh and drink my blood” was a proper parable (though in my mind it is clearly figurative), but do think the result of His saying falls in line with the judgment He spoke of in Mark above. Jesus came to Israel, His own, and His own received Him not. Tragic mistake.”

Many of the Jews and many gentiles did accept Jesus. And some did not. Even today many do not accept all the teachings of Jesus, including some Catholics.

I believe that Jesus was very clear and emphasized his meaning very clearly as literal and was necessary for salvation.

There is scientific evidence that consecrated hosts from different centuries (1100 and 2008) contains heart muscle and blood that has been reported in the news.

“I believe that Jesus was very clear and emphasized his meaning very clearly as literal and was necessary for salvation.”

Understood. I just pointed out that a blinding judgment on unbelieving Israel was one reason Jesus’ words might confound (and not be cleared up for those so confounded).
