Did Jesus actually give his flesh and blood to nourish our souls? What do you think about these Bible verses?

Question

, “I am the bread of life.” Many of His followers, then as well as now, could not and would not accept this teaching that we must literally eat His flesh and blood. “The scripture says, ‘Man cannot live on bread alone, but needs every word that God speaks.’” (Mt 4:4) And the Word was made flesh… (John 1:14) “My flesh is real food; my blood is real drink.” (John 6:55) Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. But whenever anyone is joined to the Lord, the veil is taken away. (2 Cor 3:14-16) “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him.” (John 6:56) For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body of the Lord eats and drinks judgment on himself. (1 Cor 11:29)

Answer 1

Peace!
The doctrine of the Real Presence asserts that in the Holy Eucharist, Jesus is literally and wholly present - body and blood, soul and divinity - under the appearances of bread and wine. Evangelicals and Fundamentalists frequently attack this doctrine as "unbiblical" but the verses you yourself have quoted prove them wrong.

Answer 2

Communion

Romans
Luke
John
James
1&2 Thes
Jude
Rev 18-22

Answer 3

By His "flesh" Jesus means His word. To eat His flesh actually means to live off of His words and to be nourished and strengthened by them. His blood was offered for the forgiveness of sins. So to drink His blood means to be washed by His blood
and be forgiven.

You did a good job of pointing out the verses which make all of that clear.

Answer 4

Its symbolic!!!

How could He give His flesh and blood in a realistic manner?

Communion we are to do... take this bread and drink this wine, do it in remembrance of Me... Jesus' words. We take the bread and remember He came in the flesh to give us the Word of God... we take the wine and remember the blood He shed for us upon the cross.

One must learn what is symbolic and why it was used in the Bible.

Answer 5

Yes he did, the Bible verses means exactly what He said

God Bless You

Answer 6

i wasn't there and the chain of custody sort of speak is dubious
to say the least but some of the things depicting Jesus make me respect the man and some don't .Ever seen a real miracle?
peace out

Answer 7

The bread and wine are a symbolic reminder of the cross.

Answer 8

God grants legal reality to material things.

Answer 9

Let's have Jesus Himself respond to this woefully common misunderstanding of His words: "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life" (John 6:63).

Revise ALL of your interpretations.

Answer 10

Seems more of a statement than a question. I'd-answer "YES" to-both but-nothing in 'YOUR' answer explains 'HOW!' You-seem to-say 'WHY' but-not 'HOW!' Was-that your-querry? If-so, please post-it! If-you were just making a statement, you 'Maybe' should-ask your 'Holy-Spirit' to help-you 'COME-ALONGSIDE' of-people, rather-than sort-of point-out what you'd-like to argue-about!

'SOME' people think-that the "LIFE" (Lifeforce-or-Spirit) is-in the "BLOOD" therefore it-is actually his "SPIRIT" (Lifeforce) that-he invited-people to "DRINK!" Does-that help? Please rephrase your question if-you really-were 'Asking' one, rather-than 'Preaching!'
