John 6:63 63It is the spirit that quickeneth: the flesh profiteth nothing. The words that I have spoken to you, are spirit and life.
How can you believe that the “flesh” of Jesus - God and man who died on the cross for our sins profits nothing? Get behind me, Satan.
Protestants keep quoting this verse to question the “flesh” of Jesus that “It is the Spirit that gives life, the flesh is of no avail;”
A contrast between the Spirit’s ability to enlighten our minds and human reason’s inability to comprehend revealed truths apart from faith. It is this earthbound perspective that is profitless in the face of divine mysteries. Note that Jesus is not speaking of his own “flesh” which does in fact give life to the world. Try to accept and understand John 6:53-54.
You forget the next phrase “But there are some of you that do not believe.” That sounds like protestants belief.
If one truly places their trust in God and does His will, then they will become enlightened to God’s Truth.
One’s pride, presumption, obstinacy, impenitence, deliberate resistance to the truth stand in the way.
