Sounds to me like you better start paying attention to His words then, doesn't it? Why not start with the ones he just repeated four, five, six times? "For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed"

v63 is not the equivalent of Jesus shouting "opposite!" like a fourth grader. It makes Jesus a liar. "This is my Body" is not at all the same as "this is kinda sorta like my Body"

"For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed"

And this is supposed to void

Only you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood. (Genesis 9:4)

?

Of course, Jesus's words come later in time, so they supercede Genesis, right?

But as for the Gentiles who have believed, we have sent a letter with our judgment that they should abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols and from blood and from what is strangled and from unchastity." (Acts 21:25)

Of course James was just a Judaizer, what did he know?

"This is my Body" is not at all the same as "this is kinda sorta like my Body"

So Jesus again said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. (John 10:7)

Which is not at all the same as "I am kinda sorta like the door of the sheep".

I try and pay attention to all of them. Not just John 6.

I've already started. He can repeated a hundred times and I'm still gonna take them for what He really meant. Context my son.

I wouldn't call Him a liar if I were you. He meant what he said.
