You're right of course...and He also said " Unless you eat of the flesh of the son of man and drink of His blood, you shall not have life within you"
Which of the two admonitions shall we discuss first???
This is purely paganism, an irresponsible, foolish interpretation of the Scriptures. It shows a shocking lack of discernment upon the part of an entire religious organization, and I absolutely cannot believe that normally rational people can read the words of Christ and think that HE was talking about a literal consumption of His flesh. Really!
Jesus said, This is my flesh, but it wasn't...It was bread...
Joh_4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
Did Jesus hand out living water??? Do your priests hand out living water???
