don't be silly. We were talking about this certain passage. Doesn't verse 63 have some relation to the rest of John 6? If you want to argue that it is unrelated to the Bread of Life discourse above, I'll go along with that.

Of course the passages are related.

Are you, therefore, arguing that JESUS is really bread ?

Or, rather ... is JESUS bread in a figurative sense ... as One who provides nourishment in some way ?

Actually, that's backwards. The argument is that bread is really Jesus. That what appears to us as bread is really His Body. And that when we eat this bread, it is spiritual nourishment.
