I guess context does not matter to you at all.
When you truly abide in Jesus by receiving the Eucharist you will understand John 6.
Read the parable in Matthew 11:16-19 rompoporg.
Looks like you failed the test according to Gods Word.
You can't "win" you mournfully sob, (as if you are a child playing a game) - but let's suppose that you aren't, but you still want to win as if you were. Take a look at Matthew 11: 10-12. You will see here that John the Baptist and Jesus were opposites in many ways, yet neither of them could please the Jewish leaders. John was stern, he was remote and ascetic, and a man with a message of judgment; Jesus on the other hand was gracious, friendly, mingled with people at meals, and came with a message of salvation. Yet the Pharisees and the chief priests rejected both men! Hm-m-m-m, they wanted neither the playing of the wedding flute nor the funeral dirge. The mind that is set on the flesh is hostile toward God."
Communion is a rememberence meal to never forget what Jesus did for us. I do partake in communion and I do understand John 6. Jesus was speaking in the supernatural and you understand it in the natural just like the Apostles understood it. To eat flesh and blood literaly would go against Gods own Word. This is why you need your mind renewed so that you will understand Gods Word.
Right up until the point that the rcc is proven to be false. Then you will turn your back on Him. Your profession has no credibility whatsoever.
If the RCC was proven false---where else would I have to turn? Christianity will have been proven false.
The bible. Christianity will be proven to be true and rc'ism to be false.
I apologize for being a smart aleck. I should have stopped and reconsidered what I had written.
Ahh, yas, the "False Challenge Tactic" :
How could you forget if it is written in Scripture?

Bishop against Bishop… as prophesied:
Pelosi not barred from Communion in DC, archdiocese says
The nation's most prominent Catholic see has announced it will not follow San Francisco's archbishop in denying the Eucharist over abortion.
Pelosi eats and drinks condemnation to herself.
smh
all catholics do.
Alright, but how is this any different from the Protestant who takes the exact same approach to the Bible?
The Church is the Pillar of truth. If the Pillar the upholds Truth---falls-----the Truth falls with it.
Sir, the need for an authoritative Church and teacher of the Scriptures, the need for a "interpreter" is not becasue GOD is limited, it is becasue WE are limited.
This is true but not terribly informative or even relevant. I am not asserting that truth depends on whether people believe it.
We do not make our "traditions" equal to the Scripture. By this I mean--customs like abstinence from meat on Friday in Lent---is not anywhere near on a par with Scripture.
Have it your way. you might want to go ahead and make the decision on whether you want the mark of the beast on your right hand or on your forehead. Then again, you have less than a 50% chance of making it that far in the tribulation period .
NO, you need to have someone to throw under the bus on judgement day---> He did it!!
The bible was meant to carry the message of salvation to the people. Something that the rcc clearly has never wanted. Self proclaimed authority is absolutely worthless.
The truth is always relevant when you debating someone the has taken the bait of lies hook, line, and sinker.
What about the dozen or so traditions concerning Mary? I will agree that you do not make them equal with the Scriptures. You put them miles above the Scriptures.
That is because none of your traditions can be found in the Scriptures or they directly contradict the Scriptures.
The traditions of the rcc originated in the pit of hell and have absolutely nothing to do with the One, True, and Living GOD that made all of creation by the power of His spoken word.
