You make the same mistake the Jews did. You think this is about physical eating. Maybe your church could convince someone in the middle ages that the bread and wine actually became human flesh and blood in his belly, but no one believes that now. We know it's spiritual and yes, this includes...

40 For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. See the Parallel verses? It could not be...

Your interpretation doesn't fit what the text actually says. First he indicates that all who are taught by his Father would come to him. These were the ones who had the Torah, they should have recognized him as Messiah from the prophecies. But, they didn't get it, because they were looking for a...

I was thinking more about his guitar playing, than lyrics.

Someone said that Jimi Hendrix may not be in heaven ,but his music is. Everything good in this world comes from God.

I do not see evidence that God's will and God's desire are separate things.

Given irresistibly? Can said person refuse to repent?

No it isn't, that's the point.

It explains the reality that people rebel. That God doesn't force repentance.

Of course. As I already said, they were focused on the physical world and couldn't see he was talking spiritually, here. They wanted a saviour from Rome, not from sin. They wanted an earthly king. They thought he meant literally eating flesh, but he meant belief in him. Your church tries to do...

So you jump to another book? Try to keep up..

Um..no there's zero evidence. Sure they thought he was someone special, but not the messiah! After the people saw the sign Jesus performed, they began to say, “Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world.” 15 Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and make him king by force...

Really? "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing." Guess Jesus didn't get your memo.

what part of that passage not being about communion do you not understand? yes, it's about eternal life through believing.

We have no reason to belive the garden wasn't physical. It does say the earth was without form and void in the beginning, which may have been due to Satan's presence. The garden could have been something like the New Earth will be, in fact, it surely sounds like it was. Before the fall "we" were...

Are your kidding? "Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, “Does this offend you? 62 Then what if you see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before! 63 The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the...

Where does it say they all believed he was sent by God? “Very truly I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw the signs I performed but because you ate the loaves and had your fill." Duh! They were just looking for more free food! They believed he was sent by God? Not! 42 They...

That whole passage is about believing on Christ for salvation. There's no command to take communion in there. Try to read the Bible with context. It's really not that hard.

Exactly. It's spiritual, not physical. It's not physical blood and meat. They just wanted actual free food.

I've already taken communion many times. It's not about salvation. And no verse claims that it is.
