Adsum, you are sincere in your belief that Jesus intended for you to eat His flesh and, against the OT and NT both, drink His blood.

I would like to know how you understand that the following verses should be taken. Can you do the things mentioned and live to tell about it?

Mar 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
Mar 16:18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Mark 16 has it given as examples, not commands as in John 6.

In John 6 these are not only commands but Jesus repeats them thrice - even after disciples leave him as “this is a teaching we cannot follow”

The two are not the same

If one does not want to listen to a response to your post, then one should not react in an unchristian manner.

You are quick to request answers, but do not reply to questions about your beliefs.

The power of the gospel is displayed through the miracles of those that preach it truthfully. (Mark 16: 17-18)

Why do you question the belief in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist with preaching the Gospel?
