To non Catholic Christians let's talk John 6:34-69

Yakuda said:
I guess 4 times isn't enough for you. Yes worship in SPIRIT that Jesus tells us 4 TIMES to eat his flesh not bread and not his word.

Since, after repeated attempts, you refuse to enter into this conversation with me, I'll enter into it FOR you.

Given that you call yourself a Catholic, I take it that you also subscribe to amillennialism. Maybe you personally don't agree with that particular Catholic belief, but until you clarify for me what you actually DO believe, then I'll just safely assume that you subscribe to amillennialism.

Assuming the above, that means that you DON'T take the underlying message of Revelation chapter 20 literally, but rather you allegorize the living daylights out of it until you arrive at a conclusion that is sooooo far beyond anything that is actually being said in those passages.

So, my response to you is this: "I guess 6 times isn't enough for you. John tells us 6 TIMES that the time period being spoken of is one thousand years, not some generically long period of time.

You're avoiding the topic. You wrote this:

"This particular discussion has already been had. You're still stuck with the issue that, under your understanding of Jesus' words, Jesus is claiming that all partakers of holy communion receive eternal life. (my emphasis) That's simply not true."

John 6: 54 however says

"Whoever feeds upon my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life and I will take him up on the last day."

Now look Ive been very patient with you but if you cant bring yourself to accept what Jesus is plainly saying you need to do some soul searching friend.

Would it help you to hear from Paul? 1 Corinthians 11:27-29

27 Therefore anyone who eats the bread and drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner is guilty of an offense against the body and blood of the Lord. 28 Everyone should examine himself about eating the bread and drinking from the cup. 29 For person who eats and drinks without discerning the body of the Lord is eating and drinking judgment on himself.

Yeah you probably don't want to hear from Paul either.
