You can scream all you want about cultist demands for submission but I follow Christ not Catholicism. I study scripture not cultist Catechisms. God commanded that blood not be eaten. Even under the new covenant the apostles continued that when they met in Jerusalem. Still Catholics think that the apostles sent letters to the churches to not eat blood then went around encouraging them to eat blood. The duplicity is amazing. Or should we say double tongued?
You can rant all you want to, but your personal biases may be blocking your true understanding of God’s words and actions.
No one forces anyone to accept Catholicism, but one’s anger and hatred toward Catholicism may be harmful to your well being. To my knowledge, you have not stated whether you are a baptized Catholic or belong to another organized religion.
I share with you what I believe and I don’t accept your incredulity or interpretation of the Bible or your anger against the Catholic Church.
For some reason you do not accept God’s gift of His Body and Blood. Your loss.
Jesus did not say, “My flesh is of no avail.” He said, “The flesh is of no avail.” There is a big difference! He obviously would not have said my flesh avails nothing because he just spent a good portion of this same discourse telling us that his flesh would be “given for the life of the world” (John 6:51, cf. 50-58).
“The flesh” is a New Testament term often used to describe human nature apart from God’s grace (see Romans 8:1-14; I Cor. 2:14; 3:1; Mark 14:38).
That which is “spiritual,” or “spirit” used as an adjective as we see in John 6:63, does not necessarily refer to that which has no material substance. It often means that which is dominated or controlled by the Spirit. For example, when speaking of the resurrection of the body, St. Paul writes: “It is sown a physical body, it is raised a spiritual body” (I Cor. 15:44). Does this mean we will not have a physical body in the resurrection? Of course not! Jesus made that clear after his own resurrection in Luke 24:39:
See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself; handle me, and see; for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have.
The resurrected body is spiritual and indeed we can be called spiritual as Christians inasmuch as we are controlled by the Spirit of God. Spiritual in no way means void of the material. That would be a Gnostic understanding of things, not Christian.
You say you accept Jesus, but you reject some of His teachings.
