Your entire religion is built on that one verse..

You are right! It is built upon that one verse because that verse is what Christ commands us to do.

You religion is built on the rejection of what Christ commands you to do in that verse.

Catholics=John 6:53-58 Everyone else=John 6:60-66

It’s context, I think, that the Catholic Church misses. Jesus was foretelling His Crucifixion in verse 53. Prior to that verse He was explaining to the priests that He was the Bread of Life, not that the bread itself was life. To say that Jesus was explaining transubstantiation here is to say that partaking in the Eucharist is what brings eternal life, instead of a saving faith in Christ.

Post verse 58 Jesus explains what he meant. I’m sorry, but my reaction to your comment is going to have to be:
Catholics=John 6:53-58
Everyone Else=John 6:22-65

So where the command and the instructions for you guys to turn a wafer and wine into Jesus flesh and blood??? Surely if Jesus told you to eat his flesh and drink his blood every minute of every day for eternity, he must have left you instructions on how to accomplish this...Where's it at???

Catholics=John 6:53-58 Everyone else=John 6:60-66.

Catholics=John 6:53-58...Everyone else, Genesis 1-Revelation 22...
