Honestly, does this always have to be dealt with in every Catholic thread?

Jesus never held up a door and said, “This is my body.”

Jesus never held up a lamb and said, “This is my body.”

Ridiculous argument.

Jesus said, I am the door and I am the Lamb of God, I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. All of which He is. But he never claimed that a door was His body or that a lamb was His body.

But He was literally bread right?

Also, nobody ever left Jesus for saying those metaphors, but they did leave Him in droves when He spoke prophetically about how they would have to eat His flesh and drink His blood.

They were at least bright enough to clearly understand when Jesus was talking metaphorically and when He was not.

Sure he did...Just like in this verse...

Joh_6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

I am the door, I am the lamb, I am the bread...
