Nice try but that doesn’t work when comparing scripture to scripture.

John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

That verse is included in the conversation where He is talking about HIS flesh. Trying to make a switch and infer that He somehow switched to “our flesh” is nonsense and cannot be justified in context. Those are the tactics of the RCC and why those who finally realize the RCC has been lying to them leave that organization.

>> In other words, you have ripped a few verses out of context,<<

NO, I have intentionally left the IN context as opposed to your attempt to take them out of context.

In the midst of telling his hearers that his flesh is true food, his blood is true drink, that eating his flesh and drinking his blood will bring eternal life, that “I will raise him up” (he who eats my flesh), eat my flesh, eat my flesh, eat my flesh...He then says that “the flesh profiteth nothing”—and he must be referring to HIS flesh?

So Jesus is saying, in the same breath, that eating his flesh results in eternal life, AND that his flesh “profiteth nothing.” Eternal life is “no profit”???

When you find yourself putting an idiotic, self-contradictory statement in the mouth of Jesus, it’s time to question yourself as an exegete.
