Russell, you are saying Jes...Literal or Symbolic?<br /><br />Russell, you are saying Jesus is a liar...<br /><br />1. If Jesus Bread of Life symbolically, Jesus said it to a multitude of people (John 6:24) several times (John 6:35,48,51,53,54,55,56); why will Jesus say several times?<br />2. If Jesus Bread of Life symbolically, the disciples said "This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?" (John 6:60); is the teaching of Jesus all lies?<br />3. If Jesus Bread of Life symbolically, Jesus even ask his disciples "Does this offend you?" (John 6:61); why did Jesus bother asking them if not real?<br />4. If Jesus Bread of Life symbolically, Jesus ask his disciples "You do not want to leave too, do you?" (John 6:67); why did Jesus wonder why they are staying?<br />5. If Jesus Bread of Life symbolically, Jesus reply to the disciples “Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!” (John 6:70); who betrayed in Passover?<br />6. If Jesus Bread of Life symbolically, Jesus said to the disciples "Take and eat; this is my body","Drink from it, all of you. This is my Blood..." (Matthew 26:26-28).<br />... many many more.<br /><br />You said: <br />"I believe that a person's doctrine affects his relationship with God, therefore, Scriptural Teaching is of the utmost importance"; but do you live it? (John 6:62-66) You are the living proof of the disciples that turned there backs on Jesus. I hope one day you will see that in your heart.<br /><br />You said:<br />"I just want to share some things with Catholics (and others) that God has shared with me"; do you really believed that God the Father Almighty will share to you the teachings and the words of his only beloved Son, Jesus Christ, who died on the cross to save YOU, a symbolism? (John 6:44-46) You are surely a hypocrite.<br /><br /><br />(John 6:62-66) 62 Then what if you see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before! 63 The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life. 64 Yet there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him. 65 He went on to say, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled them.” 66 From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him.<br /><br />(John 6:44-46) 44 “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day. 45 It is written in the Prophets: ‘They will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from him comes to me. 46 No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; only he has seen the Father.
