he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

Do you read any other scriptures??? Sheesh...You guys pick out a few verses and build a church on 'em...

Heb 10:11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:

Is this a familiar scene to you???

Heb 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God;
Heb 10:13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
Heb 10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified.

Now that may not apply to you, but it applies to me...

Heb 10:15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
Heb 10:16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
Heb 10:17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

Heb 10:18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

That's pretty straight forward...

Heb 9:24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
Heb 9:25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;
Heb 9:26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

You consider Jesus' teaching here just "a few

verses"?

But you refuse to offer us your unique insight,

wisdom and the "clear meaning of scripture"

in regards to John 6:53-57.

No, you're quoting the Epistle to the Hebrews, not the Epistle to the Catholics, and the "priest" who "standeth daily" ministering those "sacrifices which can never take away sins" was a Jewish priest in the Jewish temple. Since the temple was destroyed in AD 70, that's a "familiar scene" to nobody living on earth today.

The only sacrifice a Catholic priest offers is the re-presentation of the one sacrifice of Calvary, which is the only sacrifice which was ever efficacious to take away sins. That's why that same Epistle to the Hebrews says, in its last chapter, "we have an altar from which those who serve the [Jewish] tabernacle have no right to eat".

You would be well served to actually start to understand the Bible, instead of just using it as a handy source for Catholic-bashing one-liners.
