And many disciples left Him for claiming they had to eat His flesh and drink His Blood. And yet He didn’t call to them and explain how they misinterpreted Him.

Christ also declared all foods clean when the Old Law is very clear that certain foods are not clean.

The point is that He is God. His commands supercede the Old.

He explained why also.

John 6:64 Yet there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him. 65 He went on to say, "This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled them."

He knew they would betray Him because they hadn't actually been enabled by the Father to believe.

>>Christ also declared all foods clean when the Old Law is very clear that certain foods are not clean.<<

Please show one instance from scripture that blood was considered a food.

>>The point is that He is God. His commands supercede the Old.<<

The point that He was God would have required Him to abide by all the laws in order to fulfil the law.
