Off OP topic, if you feel the need to personally attack me, please don’t do via a long winded rambling post. You need to learn to conduct yourself in a mature and decent way my friend.
LOl Stop taking it away.
Peter agreed other disciples that were hoping it could profit walked away in unbelief (no faith)
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.
Romans informs us it must be signified as sinful (corrupting ages toward death and destruction ) in order to do what the letter of the law could not do in order to reveal the "law of faith" .The unseen work of the Son and the father. No father, no Son . No Son, no father . Know the father know the Son. One work of one faith.
It is true that the flesh of man is corrupt. That's why verse
63 tells us, the flesh profiteth nothing because flesh is useless. This refers to mortal flesh. Jesus is the bread of life, His flesh is divine, not corrupted. Which would not be the case had He been born through a woman who's anatomy was subject to her sin nature.
The first sinner saved was Mary, and by the same method God's free irrevocable gift of grace brought into the world. Highly favored, is grace filled. Which is the same thing as referring in scripture later to those who are the Elect of God.

The Saint Apostle Paul spoke of this as well.
"...the glory of heavenly bodies is one of a kind, and the glory of earthly bodies is another...." It is why Jesus said if we do not consume His flesh we have no life in us. Because our life, our flesh, cannot save us. In other wording, there is nothing we can do to save ourselves in this life, in this body, because we are doomed as imperfect vessels from the beginning. Subject to disappointing God, sinning. And as a consequence we cannot take that nature and turn it around of our own accord and save ourselves from that state of being. We have to turn to the perfect Savior born for the task of Saving the world.
1 Corinthians 15:50
