IN John 6,
= Jesus The Christ talks about eating his flesh and drinking his blood.
And this verse regarding most believers is just seemingly impossible to figure out, because this verse is spiritually discerned, only.
So, i'll show you how to SEE this verse, and its really very simple according to the spiritual principle of "rightly dividing".

First, ... as Jesus is talking about this, He prefaces it by saying....."the flesh profits nothing".
So, right here, Jesus is showing you that what He's talking about and will explain can't be understood logically......as He explains it this way......"my words are spirit and truth".
And what is he talking about?
He's telling you that "the natural mind receives not the things of God, as they are spiritually discerned."".

Reader......Christ is the Bread of heaven who came down......and that is the truth.
Christ is the living bread that you eat, SPIRITUALLY.......and that situation is spiritual understanding you have to discern.
So, when Jesus says, "eat my flesh and drink my blood", He is talking spiritually to you, and if you try to understand it with your natural mind, then you get this....""""the flesh profits you nothing...""" = you will not understand what's He's telling you.
And why? Because the word of God, is "spiritually discerned"... So when Jesus speaks spiritually to you about "eating flesh and drinking blood", then that is "spirit and truth" being shared and not "flesh"......Not some type of intellectual information that you understand as if you are reading a dictionary.

Now,..... men who created cults tried to understand Christ's words in the mind of the flesh or as the natural mind, and so they tried to comprehend the spiritual words literally and from this wrong understanding you find cults talking about bread and wine, as the literal body of Jesus.
So, as they can't deal with the spiritual, not being of the Spirit.......they had to reinvent the spiritual as literal, and when they did that they created a situation that isn't true.
Reader, its fine to take communion, and do it "in REMEMBRANCE" as the verse says, but when you listen to the deceived turn the spiritual into the literal and then teach this as church doctrine, you have been mislead.

Now, let get to it.
How does Jesus explain the spiritual meaning of "eat and drink His flesh and blood".
Now one more time...... this isn't taking about taking the Communion..... as that is done LITERALLY, and Jesus is talking Spiritually and told you that if you try to think of all this with your mind, then "the flesh profiteth you NOTHING".

Now, Look at this verse that will help you understand why Christ's words are SPIRIT.....,and then i can show you the simple Spiritual application of "eat and drink my flesh and my blood".
Deuteronomy 12:23 tells you that you may not drink BLOOD.
You are to NEVER "drink blood".
Now, do you think Jesus does not know this verse when He tells you to "drink His blood"?
So, realize that when Jesus tells you to eat His flesh and drink His blood, he's talking to you Spiritually, ....."my words are spirit and truth".....not literally regarding putting something into your mouth.
You are to do it, but you are to do it = Spiritually.

How?

Just like this... Jesus says...>"if you dont drink and eat by body and blood, then you have no LIFE in you".
Notice this carefully......"no LIFE....where ???? = IN YOU.".

So, who is LIFE? Jesus is Life. He tells you this in John 14:6..." I am THE LIFE""
And He says in John 10:10 that He, who is LIFE, has come to give you LIFE"...
See those verses. ?
Jesus who is LIFE< has come down from Heaven, as the BREAD OF LIFE, to do what????? "To Give YOU LIFE">.......and He Himself is Life....So, He is explaining to you SPIRITUALLY..... that to have LIFE, is to have HIM inside you. = "Christ IN you, the hope of Glory".

So, how do you get bread and wine, in you literally?
You eat and drink them, and they go inside you.

Now, How do you tet Jesus in you, as "Christ in you, the hope of Glory" by "eating His flesh and drinking His blood, SPIRITUALLY ?????????
He explains it. Jesus says..... "i live BY the Father".... This means, The Father and i are ONE". This is John Chapter 1... The Word IS GOD, and Jesus is the Word.
Jesus said, "I and my Father are ONE"... That is How Jesus Lives BY the Father...... They are ONE.
So, Jesus tells you that as He lives by the Father...as 'ONE with The Father"..... and He then says that its the same for you as this...."he that eateth me shall LIVE BY ME".
See that?
That is to say, when you have JESUS IN YOU, then, by HIM being in you,= you are become the same as Christ is with His Father..ONE with God, in Christ".
Reader..... do you see that end result of eating Jesus's flesh and drinking Jesus's blood, Spiritually?

Now how do you get Christ IN YOU, that is to "eat and drink" Him..... so that the Life of Jesus becomes your eternal life that places you :"in Christ", as "ONE with God, in Christ"?
Its by FAITH.
Its by BELIEVING.
See, this happens IN You, and that is the eating and drinking......you do this as : "the will of God is that you BELIEVE on Jesus, whom God Sent".

Reader......That is how you EAT and DRINK the body and blood of Christ.
You take HIM INTO YOUR HEART by Faith, which is to take Christ inside the deepest part of you...... that is the EATING and DRINKING......and once you do this, then Christ comes to LIVE IN YOU, inside you, as the eternal result.
So, there is your : "Christ IN YOU" found by eating His body, and drinking His Blood, by FAITH in Chrsit.

Saint, this is a Spiritual MEAL that you consumed by FAITH.
Faith is the eating. Believing is the drinking.
End result? "He that eateth me shall LIVE BY ME"......Jesus now becomes spiritually joined to you as "Christ in you">...., and now you have Jesus's LIFE as your ETERNAL LIFE< as born again.
That is how you eat and drink, the Lord.
You do it by FAITH. When you believe in Jesus, you are "eating His flesh and drinking His blood" SPIRITUALLY......and you are born again.

When you by faith BELIEVE in Christ, and are born again, you have eaten Jesus's flesh, and you have drank Jesus's blood, and Jesus has come to dwell in you, jointed to your spirit, = that causes you to become a "new creation in Christ".
Jesus has now become your ETERNAL LIFE, as you have become "ONE with God, in Christ, born again Spiritually.

Just remember......Taking Communion is important, as its symbolism honors and gives love and respect to the literal sacrifice of Jesus for our sin.

However, its by FAITH that you literally "eat and drink the body and blood" of Jesus. This is how you become a literal partaker of the Bread of Life, who is Jesus the Living Bread come down from Heaven to give Himself as the eternal sacrifice to the World.

If Christ is awaken in you then any thing outside is shadow,

2Cor13:5Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

Romans 2:28For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: 29But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

No. The breaking of bread in rememberance of what He has done is just that.. remembering. We break bread to demonstrate His body broken for us.

P.S. - You spelled you're incorrectly. "it sounds like your saying"... imagine separating the words and that will help. "It sounds like you are saying".. this is how you know it should be you're.

Bread and wine were staples in Jesus' time. They were readily available and usually on the table or in the pantry close at hand.

God uses the common, every day practice of eating and drinking to remind us of the Bread from Heaven and the Lamb of God: the greatest gifts given to mankind.

Resurrection is like this: He used the example of the seed in the field. The seed dies, grows, and creates bread for us to eat. It is literally by death and resurrection that our whole existence is sustained.

So, communion should be as common as eating and drinking and not a religious observance. That is why we give thanks whenever we eat.

We forget that minute by minute we have a choice to listen to the God within or listen to the demons who operate the fleshly world. We must choose to listen to the world to decide our behaviors or to listen to the Lord with absolute faith in Him. What the world teaches and what our Lord teaches are very different. If no one can see the difference in us we need to question who we listen to.

the Lord's Supper was not a normal staple, the bread was unleavened because it was Passover. This was very symbolic as leaven = sin.

The entire Thread teaches exactly the opposite.
The entire Thread is explaining that "eating and drinking the body and blood of Jesus", is to receive Him by Faith.

Jesus is the "Bread who came down from Heaven", who shed His blood and died on the Cross.
That is a LITERAL SACRIFICE that you Spiritually "eat and drink", when you BELIEVE in JESUS and are born again.
That how you do it.
When you BELIEVE< then God gives you the new birth and Christ comes to live in you, as your Eternal Life.

Never listen to anyone who tells you that you can lose your salvation. = Never belong to a "church" that has this as their doctrine, and their pulpit preaches this lie to you.

Never listen to anyone who tells you this....>"'""you are going to sin, so expect it......as that is just how it will be"""".

So.........Why is it important to never listen to a deceived carnal denier of the Power of God's Redemption?
Why is is so important to KNOW who you have become as a "New Creation",= "the righteousness of God in Christ"?
Its because when you BELIEVE the Truth, you have Knowledge of it, and the Knowledge of the truth, sets you free.

Reader........Its not the Truth that sets you free....Its having the correct KNOWLEDGE of it, that is the Key to Truth setting you free.

Here is a truth for you...
What you believe, is what you will become.
If you BELIEVE that you are a " saved sinner", who is going to sin sometimes, then that is your FAITH.
Jesus said, you will have what you BELIEVE. So, if a minister of the devil has you believing that you are SUPPOSED TO SIN AND CONFESS,.....IF THEY CAN Get you to BELIEVE it, the that is now become your FAITH, and your Faith will come to pass for as long as you believe it.

"""well, all my life i was taught i was supposed to sin and confess,....... to expect this, so, all my life i DID"...

See that?
Thats the power of BELIEVING wrong.
When you believe it, it will happen, .... Jesus is not kidding.

Words are spiritual power, and faith is really going to happen, when you believe it.

So, reader, get your FAITH RIGHT, and learn to only see yourself as "made righteous", as God has recreated you to be...as a "new creation" "in Christ".....>"One with God". = BELIEVE THIS TRUTH.......Let this KNOWLEDGE become your FAITH as you are supposed to believe it..
When you do that, you step out of failed discipleship and you begin to live where Correct FAITH takes you...which is here....."Christ always gives me the VICTORY">.

I never cut and paste, as that would be dishonest.

See Everything i Thread or Post, is what i teach my students or a group. I wrote it all. Yet, its all taken from the Heart of Pauline Theology.
Its just me rightly dividing the Epistle's of Paul, in most cases.

I only use Paul's *epistles* Theology.....99% of the time....., and 2 Prayer "Promise books", and a Messianic Prayer handbook.

2nd Corinthians 12......

Here is what God offerers you.....

'""""""""And God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers"""""

Notice that GOD has placed them, so, that is different then someone just deciding to come to a forum and start teaching.
Im actually the Teacher in that verse, since 1991.
Have i been teaching longer then you have been a Christian?

Also....... why does God calls us?? ======= = "For the perfecting of the Saints". Ephesians 4:12

Im not sure you are a saint, and im not sure you are interested in being perfected, but just in case...
I can help.

yes, it is by grace through faith, but the context of the Lord's Supper doesn't save you. Eat my flesh drink my blood is not something that is done even spiritually.
