You are conflating deceptively the passage in John 6 with the scene where Jesus instituted the remembrance using bread and wine. If what you’re trying to sell was truth you wouldn’t have to resort to deception. The catholiciism religion uses conflation in several things, deceiving people on purpose, like conflating the True Body of Christ CHURCH with the Catholic Org church.

Deceptively conflating? When Jesus says, “Unless you eat of my flesh and drink of my blood, you shall not have life within you” and then months (weeks?) later says, “This [bread] is my body, given for you” you think that’s deceptively conflating? Do you instead prefer Daniel1212’s conflation with “My meat,” using the Greek word that probably meant, “craving” and now means “stink,” “rot,” or “fetish”?

When in the West, a single word was added to the Apostle’s Creed, (translated, “[He proceeds from the Father] and the son”) it tore the Christian world in two, even though the Greeks conceded that what the Latins meant was not a heresy. And Protestants worry that Catholics have invented all sorts of heresies, and spread them successfully from India to Morocco, Norway to Ethiopia in spite of the local churches that weren’t Catholic and had already broken away from the Catholic churches over much, much, much finer theological details. (Sucn as: Since the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father through the Son, is it false to say that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Son in addition to from the Father.)
