NASB | John 6:53 So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 6:53 And Jesus said to them, "I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood [unless you believe in Me as Savior and believe in the saving power of My blood which will be shed for you], you do not have life in yourselves. |
Subject: must we eat Jesus literally? |
Bible Note: Kama17, There is nothing to indicate Jesus meant anything other than what he said. There is no indication that what he said he meant figuratively. Otherwise why did so many leave him in John 6. And Paul certainly took Jesus literally in 1 Corinthians 10:16 and 11:27-30. What does "is" mean. The sacraments, whether you believe in one, two or seven are all real encounters with the real Christ. This was never in dispute for the first thousand years of Christianity. Do the research and you will see it for yourself. It may be a mysery as great as the Trinity, but it is truth nonetheless. |
