"Scripture Catholic" is an oxymoron i think, no offense, "eucharist" is not in There anyway, that is obviously just a popular idol? and i have no doubt that plenty of Prots have already repeated the vv i just did that would clarify "symbolic" for you, if you had ears to hear that? Also, understand why the publicans and prostitutes are beating you into the kingdom is prolly the best response to your "unspiritual people" i bet!John 3:6 – Jesus often used the comparison of “spirit versus flesh” to teach about the necessity of possessing supernatural faith versus a natural understanding. In Mark 14:38 Jesus also uses the “spirit/flesh” comparison. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. We must go beyond the natural to understand the supernatural. In 1 Cor. 2:14,3:3; Rom 8:5; and Gal. 5:17, Paul also uses the “spirit/flesh” comparison to teach that unspiritual people are not receiving the gift of faith. They are still “in the flesh.”
John 6:63 – Protestants often argue that Jesus’ use of the phrase “the spirit gives life” shows that Jesus was only speaking symbolically. However, Protestants must explain why there is not one place in Scripture where “spirit” means “symbolic.” As we have seen, the use of “spirit” relates to supernatural faith. What words are spirit and life?
