This is considered cherry picking FWIW.
No, it is rightly dividing the word the spiritual things are only understood by spiritual men the natural man cannot know them they are spiritually discerned.
Jesus often spoke in a spiritual way and one time he said to sone to
Matthew 16: 6. Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. 7. And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread. 8. Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?… 11. How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? 12. Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.”
Jesus spoke of spiritual truth here and they thought he was talking about natural bread.
The Douay Rheims Bible.
Koine Greek uses the terms grinding and chewing His Flesh... BTW
Eat is eating in Greek. When we eat we chew on something. But as usual, Jesus is not talking about actually eating his flesh standing in front of them. Or drinking his literal blood right there, the Jews were forbidden to drink blood. Which is interesting. Do you believe that the cup (which most Catholics do not drink here in Canada) is literally now the blood of Christ? Literally. Do you believe the literal blood in the cup is to be for all to drink? If sone by do most not drink it? And in the old abd New Testamebt blood is forbidden to drink.
But Jesus is the bread from heaven, not as the manna in the wilderness (the little white cakes in Moses time) but he spoke of spiritually eating the word he spoke and he was also to physically die on the cross once for sin and the gospel would be preached and those who believe that gospel are saved (1 Cor 25:1-4 KJV) so to add to that saving gospel anything else would make another gospel and then read Galatians 1 for that warming. Notice in the gospel that no Lords supper remembrance or water baptism or wearing scapulars etc was added for salvation to the gospel.
We can eat spiritual meat and drink spiritual drink as I showed in scripture. We don’t just eat physically.
What do you suppose spiritual meat is?
What do you suppose “thy word was found and I did eat” means?
How do we feed ourselves on the milk of the word or taste and see that the Lord is good?
Where is the seed (the word of God/Christ) sown?
Jesus said this about eating and drinking
John 6: 34. Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. 35. And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that
cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. 40. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every
one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. 44. No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. 45. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. 47. Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.”
And Jesus is not talking about the Passover supper here. And to “see” the Son of God abd know who Jesus is, is only by revelation of the Father. Many saw him physically but only believers saw him spiritually . Many heard him physically but only believers heard him spiritually and had His word abiding in them.
John 6:
51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven.
52 If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever; and the bread that
I will give, is my flesh, for the life of the world. 53 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying: How can this man give us his flesh to eat? 54 Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say unto you:
Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you. 55 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day.
61 Many therefore of his disciples, hearing it, said: This saying is hard, and who can hear it?
62 But Jesus, knowing in himself, that his disciples murmured at this, said to them: Doth this scandalize you?
63 If then you shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
64 It is the spirit that quickeneth:
the flesh profiteth nothing. The words that I have spoken to you,
are spirit and life.
65 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning, who they were that did not believe, and who he was, that would betray him.
[63] "If then you shall see": Christ by mentioning his ascension, by this instance of his power and divinity, would confirm the truth of what he had before asserted; and at the same time correct their gross apprehension of eating his flesh, and drinking his blood, in a vulgar and carnal manner, by letting them know he should take his whole body living with him to heaven; and consequently not suffer it to be as they supposed, divided, mangled, and consumed upon earth.
[64] "The flesh profiteth nothing": Dead flesh separated from the spirit, in the gross manner they supposed they were to eat his flesh, would profit nothing. Neither doth man's flesh, that is to say, man's natural and carnal apprehension, (which refuses to be subject to the spirit, and words of Christ,) profit any thing. But it would be the height of blasphemy, to say the living flesh of Christ (which we receive in the blessed sacrament, with his spirit, that is, with his soul and divinity) profiteth nothing. For if Christ's flesh had profited us nothing, he would never have taken flesh for us, nor died in the flesh for us.
His physical incarnation once as God manifest in the flesh happened in time and he died and rise again. Now we don’t know him after the flesh as Paul wrote (by the Spirit) and neither shall they say lo here is Christ or there is Christ( as sone now say in the supper and the bread and cup) .Christ shall (future tense) appear a second time at the second coming.
But as far as eating “spiritual meat” this is the issue and what do you think “spiritual meat” and “spiritual drink” is that all them saints of all time have eaten?
And Jesus said blessed are those who do hunger abd thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.
The kingdom of God is not meat and drink but as we read,
Romans 14: 17. “For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.”
