“Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”
Yes, John 6. Bread of Life. Transubstantiation. This is The Holy Eucharist of The Universal Catholic Church. The Catholic Church has The True Presence of The Body and Blood of our Lord Christ Jesus.
So beautiful and well explained. Thank you for sharing God's word 🙏
Except he’s wrong. The early Christians who knew the apostles believed in the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. It’s been that way for 2000 years. It’s not a “metaphor.”
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me” (John 6:53-57). The Gospel goes on to say that “many of his disciples who were listening said, ‘This saying is hard; who can accept it?’ . . . As a result of this, many of his disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer accompanied him. Jesus then said to the Twelve, ‘Do you also want to leave?’ Simon Peter answered him, ‘Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life’” (John 6:60, 66-68). If Jesus did not mean his words about eating his flesh and drinking his blood to be taken literally, but only symbolically, he surely would have corrected and enlightened those early protesters so that they did not continue in their literalism. But he didn’t. And he repeated and reinforced it at the Last Supper.

Jn 6:55 "my flesh is true food indeed". What does indeed mean? It means what it says it means. You need to take Jesus at His Word.
I love this website. They break down the Bible so easily and fun that even the teacher in me can understand!! Thank you !! ❤❤❤❤✝️✝️🎚🎚
Jesus sustains me with His life
HALLELUJAH
Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions on the grace of Jesus Christ which has come to us, and see how contrary their opinions are to the mind of God ... They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, flesh which suffered for our sins and which that Father, in his goodness, raised up again. They who deny the gift of God are perishing in their disputes. - Letter to the Smyrnaeans 6:2-7:1 St.Ignatius of Antioch
Jesus said man cannot live by bread alone but by spirit of God that dwell in them, to make them alive
😊
Let the dead bury the dead.
John 6:35
Kind of funny that all the disciples left him after he said that, and yet Jesus didn’t say “hey, it’s only a metaphor!” The apostles were confused as well, but stayed. No one there thought he was speaking figuratively. Not one. Join the church Jesus created through Saint Peter, or rely on your own understanding.
You're leading people to Hell. Repent and trust in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross for your salvation. YOUR WORKS WILL NOT SAVE YOU.
@@alexcameron2880 oh. I guess I’ll throw away 2000 years of church history because some prot on youtube said so. Reject the church Christ made at your peril. Better yet, read the early Christians. The men who knew Peter, Paul, and John. The apostles didn’t teach them it was a metaphor. Because it isn’t.
What exactly does it mean when new churches say "his work is finished?"
@@MarquisFacade88how much tradition did the pharisees have to throw away to follow Jesus?
Agreed, amém.
What do the Ancient Churches teach?
They taught that Jesus is present in the Eucharist. Luckily, this guy figured out that the men who knew the apostles, and all Christians for 1500 years, were wrong.
@@MarquisFacade88 So what should we say to persuade people that the Eucharist is not just a memorial?
To say it is only a memorial seems kind of odd, since everything that happens in a church service ought to be done in memory of Jesus Christ, true?
Besides, later at John 6:53 we read that Jesus told folks that if they didn't eat His flesh and drink His blood they had no life in them. At 1 Corinthians 10:16, 17 St. Paul refers to participation in the body and blood of Christ. They are real things, not figurative. Can you imagine people inventing the Eucharistic teaching after documents began accumulating and pulling verses out of John to "prove" the idea? Who would have believed such a teaching if it didn't already exist?
The Eucharist existed before any New Testament documents were written. To use Scripture to disprove something that was taught and practiced by Christians before Scripture was written is absurd and driven by a 500-year old bias against Rome.
I'm Eastern Orthodox, by the way.
@@richardmohr9428 what should we say? I honestly don’t know. I used to meet with protestant pastors in their offices, pointing all that out. You can include Exodus chapter 12, and instructions for the disposition of the Paschal lamb. I even spoke about Melito of Sardis, Ignatius of Antioch, and other men who knew the apostles, and while I never lost an argument, I never won a convert, to my knowledge. What I do know is that while I was a Protestant, not one single Catholic ever told me I was in error, so challenging them will eventually lead a few to do the requisite research and figure it out.
@@MarquisFacade88 People believe what people they trust have told them - or they are skeptical for a variety of reasons. We have to be faithful and let people know what is true. Later on they might remember what we said and think about it more.
Is it wrong to have mass with my husband in Morning
Who knows what he meant. Maybe people were hungry and they wanted some lunch.
its kinda shocking that you have to explain to people that he talks a lot in metaphors and very poetic / spiritual language and that when he talks about the eating of bread in remembrance of him, we're not REALLY eating Jesus
If it was metaphoric or symbolic he wouldn't have let his followers go
@@smart_joey_4179....what? Go where?
@@djphlange Jesus is speaking literal in John 6 about his body being true food and drink. Many of his followers left after the teaching. John 6:60, 67. If Jesus was speaking figuratively why would he let them leave
@@smart_joey_4179 no he is not lol wtf are you smoking?
Jesus is not saying he is literally bread, the dude speaks in metaphors and similes ...
and dummy, you could make that argument as to why did God not give us free will to choose to follow him or not. The great teacher can lead horses to water but he cant force them to drink it
there is nothing in the bible that would state that Jesus is to FORCE people against their will to follow him, hes pretty big on letting people follow him on their own
@@smart_joey_4179 and if hes being literal... whenever he says whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood i will raise him up on the last day.... then it would only be like him and a few people
completely throwing out all other people because we couldnt "literally eat him"
its embarrassing to have to explain to you that hes speaking poetically
