Your question: “Why do you reject Jesus words that what He was speaking was spiritual and not physical?”
Jesus was very explicit in his words and I believe in His specific instructions. Why do you need to contort the words and imply meaning that is not there?
You either have faith or you don’t have faith. Catholics have the actions and the teachings of the Apostles and their successors and sacred tradition.
There is also scientific evidence that has been reported that you seem to reject. One can either seek the Truth or develop their own meaning of the words of Jesus.
Your question: “Do you also believe John ate the physical scroll?”
Why do you just try to change the subject? The gift of the miracle that Jesus gave us His Body and His Blood that we celebrate at Mass with the Eucharist among 2 billion Catholics who accept this belief is much more significant than a scroll.
John was explicitly told to eat the scroll also.
John 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
I don't suppose you believe that literally do you?
Scientific evidence? Nonsense.
Care to put that flesh on display for the whole world to see? ... lets conduct a simple scientific test, no instruments needed, only the sample.
Jesus was glorified in 33 AD ... any flesh that is magically appearing today would be His post-resurrection flesh.
So let that flesh sit out in the open air for a few days ... if that glorified flesh decays ... we have the answer.
But somehow I suspect there is no sample ...
OK...
No change at all; but another EXAMPLE being shown that shows John 6 in a different light.
Why does Rome want to dismiss other words of Jesus?
