Your refusal to accept Christ’s words in John 6 makes no sense.

I most readily do accept Christ's words. But I apply a rational, consistent hermeneutic that would be understandable to anyone.

You simply insult because you can't make your theology understandable. A leftist tactic.

In your theology, there is no measurable line of grace upon which a man may be saved. You keep the Eucharist, and you keep the Eucharist, and you keep the Eucharist, inasmuch as it is available.

A consistent hermeneutic and clear teaching is that Christ died for our sins ONCE, and the supper is a celebration so that we remember and show His death. That was the confession of the early church, and that is the testimony of Scripture.

Christ did speak in parables. Then he interpreted them. Some things are not meant to be taken literally. Paul saying "Pray without ceasing," is not to be taken literally, nor is Christ's admonishment to cut "off an offending member or take out an eye" if it causes you to sin.

You are doing Christianity wrong if there is no consistency.
