When diners correctly imbibe Jesus' blood, and correctly consume his flesh,
they obtain eternal life.
• John 6:54 . .Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life
Apparently all the other forms of life aren't life at all; quite the opposite,
they're death, i.e. people infected with death are quite literally dead men
walking.
• John 6:53 . . I tell you the truth: unless you eat the flesh of the Son of
Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
According to 1John 1:1-2, eternal life is the kind of life that sustains God's
existence; ergo: eternal life always was, it always is, and it always will be
because eternal life is impervious to extinction, i.e. it cannot get old, it
cannot wear out, it cannot wear off, it cannot die, and it never needs to be
replenished because eternal life is self-sustaining..
Those being the characteristics of eternal life, then when people obtain it by
correctly imbibing Jesus' blood, and correctly consuming his flesh, they
never need to obtain it again-- that one time is good for all time.
• John 10:27-28 . . My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they
follow me: and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish
Obviously then, the Eucharist doesn't give people eternal life because if it
did, then the people wouldn't have to keep coming back for more of it.

Honestly, I can't imagine how the above can be taken any other way than
cannibalism.
• John 6:52 . . The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying: How
can this man give us his flesh to eat?
That's a good question, and considering the gravity of this matter; deserves
an explanation.

hey Blik ~ it's not all about God and the devil pulling us in different directions. we are very culpable for our own sin as the Bible clearly explains
13When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He tempt anyone. 14But each one is tempted when by his own evil desires he is lured away and enticed. 15Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. James 1
well whoops

When I read it, it very much sounds like the people thought Jesus was talking about actual flesh and blood. They then left Him. and Jesus did not go and say anything like "Hey guys, I meant it as symbolism only. Don't leave!" Why would Jesus allow someone to reject Him and therefore go to hell based on an honest misunderstanding? That almost strikes me as Calvinistic.
Let me ask you this: If you somehow found out that the Catholic Eucharist was indeed the actual body and blood of Jesus, would you eat it?

If we are "made righteous" and we are "in Christ".........and as John teaches.....>"As Jesus is, so are the born again in this world"........
So, is there any sin in Christ?
So why the confusion about it?
Well, its because most believers are taught badly, and are not familiar with Paul's doctrine. Most believers belong to a religious club that isn't really connected to the NT, but it pretends to be.
So....
Here is the disconnect.....its not understanding this.......
God gives birth to our SPIRIT.......not to our body or our mind......only the Spirit is born again.
We get a new body.... later, as this one is "dead because of sin" and we are to renew our minds so that our minds learn to do something.
And until that is accomplished, a believer has no real idea what has happened to them, and that is why they can't accept so many things that are TRUE., and in this ignorance regarding the spiritual realm where they exist in the Kingdom of God, they have no idea what is going on.
Here is the renewed mind.....= "your born again spirit is the REAL YOU"......not your body, and not your mind.
So, when we talk about sinless and made righteous and having become the righteousness of God, in Christ, then we are talking about the eternal transformation that has happened to our SPIRIT, that has become born again.
This is the real us........and this is part God has redeemed with the blood of Jesus. So, when a believer wrongly thinks of themselves as the body and the mind and as a "saved sinner", then they do not understand who they have become as "a new Creation" In Christ"
