God is not a magician.He lost followers because they couldn't get it. They thought literally and it made no sense, because Jesus didn't mean it literally. He meant for people to live by His words the way you live by eating and drinking.
It was always "follow me" not eat me.
The followers literally said "this is a hard saying, who can hear it?" IE "I don't get it, does anyone know what He's talking about?"
God commands against drinking of blood. God will never command you to sin against His own commandments. That's inconsistent with His own word and His own laws, That's not God brother.
the Eucharist is a symbol of His death for our sins, we eat to the memory that Jesus' body was broken and His blood spilled for our sins.
Baptism is a symbol of His burial and resurrection that defeats death and takes away the punishment for our sin.
It's not sacraments that save it's the man Himself Jesus Christ that saves.
The church has turned it into a magic show.
John 6:55-56
For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him.
1 Cor 10:16
The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ?
