Thanks. I am still waiting for the opportunity to debate any meaningful point on transubstantiation.

Well you're in luck--I'm buckled in and ready to go! :)

Unless you got a point you'd like squared away first, how about we deal with that strange little Greek term trwgw "eat" or "gnaw" in John 6? In my Concordance here, that word occurs otherwise in the NT only 2 other places besides John 6.

John 13:18-"the one who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me"
Matt 24:38:"For as in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking"

Both of these uses refer to literal eating and drinking of food, and one would therefore expect that same sense here unless there was strong evidence to the contrary.

I looked at your profile and see that you are a Catholic. So am I.

I think we are in agreement on theology. The first post you sent me was something that Whatnot had asked me. I just had their question highlighted in bold and then asked them to reread the quotes in post 44 to find the answer. I got excited thinking I was going to have a juicy debate, but they have disappeared on me!
