The Real Presence-the Eucharist

[Root of Jesse]

I was a Catholic then a Protestant
The communion means more to me symbolically than when I was a Catholic
Christ is a real man, not bread and wine, it's spiritual not physical, we have the Holy Spirit within, as promised all the time. Same God

If you were younger when you received Eucharist, I can understand that.

No disrespect, your beliefs are important to me, just don't agree
Oddly I know Catholic Christians who are better than Protestant Christians

And I know vice-versa. Good Catholic Christians, good Protestant Christians. Being one or the other doesn't get you to heaven.

I beg to differ with you. Your first quote is entirely outside of any context of the Last Supper and was said years before the Last Supper was initiated. I do not have the capability at present of quoting all of John 6, but Jesus said this to His disciples when many left Him as a result of those words, "It is the Spirit Who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life." (vs. 63)
