And then you list how flesh can sin, and how the flesh and the spirit war against one another, but by the spirit the flesh can be (eventually if not sooner it is hoped) subdued?
Yet the sense that the flesh "avails" nothing was in regards to how metmom was referencing John 6:63.
The flesh avails nothing...
The flesh itself (our own) gains no nutritional value from Eucharist other than what is the actual substance of the bread (and wine), therefore He was ruling out that he was speaking of His corporeal flesh (actual and "real" human flesh -- His own Divine sort) be what He was speaking towards when He talked about eating His flesh and drinking His blood.
His words were spirit. The flesh avails nothing.

Interesting opinion. I disagree with it but it is still interesting
