The most awewome statements ever made...

The Holy Bible

Of all the books ever written--in the history of the world--it is most probable that the only statement of a truth mentioned nine (9) consecutive times is found in the Holy Bible, St. John's Gospel, the sixth chapter, verses 48-58:
v. 48: "I am the bread of life."
v. 49: "Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died; this is the bread that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die."
v. 51: "I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread I will give is my flesh for the life of the world."
v. 53: "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you."
v. 54: "Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day."
v. 55: "My flesh is real food and my blood is real drink."
v. 56: "Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him."
v. 57: "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."
v. 58: "This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever."
v.61: "Does this shock you?"
No words our Lord spoke were ever more relevant than, "Does this shock you?"
The four Evangelists quote Christ's Divine authority on this matter and they not only affirm what He said, they actually equate His body and blood in the Holy Eucharist with His body and blood offered on the cross! They, therefore, are both literally true or they are both symbolic!
History proves Christ did offer his real flesh and blood on the cross--therefore His real flesh and blood are available to us in Holy Communion.

It is incredulous to me that Protestants who avow 'solo Scriptura' deny what is clearly written. Then I remember that when Christ proclaimed these Truths, 'many turned away.'
How blessed we are as Catholics--who believe and receive the Bread of Life!
