According to Jesus-- as an expert witness in all matters pertaining to
Christianity --when people correctly eat his flesh, and correctly drink his
blood; they obtain eternal life on the spot: no delay, and no waiting period
because the verb "has" in the verse below is present tense rather than
future.
● John 6:54 . . Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life
One of the advantages of eternal life is resilience: it never wears out, never
wears down, never gets old, and never dies, i.e. eternal life is immune to
death.
That being the case, then it's necessary for Christ's diners to eat his flesh
and drink his blood only one time and one time only-- never again because
eternal life doesn't need to be replenished.
Speaking with the woman at the well, Jesus said:
"People soon become thirsty again after drinking this water. But the water I
give them takes away thirst altogether. It becomes a perpetual spring within
them, giving them eternal life." (John 4:13-14)
