Jesus said that we are to eat His Flesh and drink His Blood. But, you apparently thought He was incorrect or wrong or something. How could He have put it more plainly?

Jesus said the SPIRIT gives life and taht the words He taught were SPIRIT and life.

Jesus well knew the prohibition against eating blood. There's no way He would have, or COULD HAVE, taught to violate the very Law He handed down at Mt. Sinai and told people to eat blood.

[daniel1212]

http://biblehub.com/john/6-53.htm [Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. (John 6:53)] Jesus said that we are to eat His Flesh and drink His Blood. But, you apparently thought He was incorrect or wrong or something. How could He have put it more plainly?

Thus, if taken plainly literally as Caths pretend they take it, then you must hold that no one who holds to the metaphorical position has spiritual life in them, since partaking of the Lord's supper is the means to obtaining essential spiritual life.
