He won't stop as long as you keep responding to him. He just wants someone to debate with; he's not interested in anyone else's belief.
Sorry, we are not talking about a disputed passage that could be read either way that does not deal with important doctrine or a meaning on a particular unclear word in Hebrew or Greek.

We are talking about one Bible line that has many corrupt doctrines, heretics helping to shape its text, confusion as a result of having no settled Greek text, and contradictory Modern English translations.

Only those who do not care about truth or those who like chopping up the Bible in their own minds (like a drug addict) is not going to see the light of what I am talking about here.

Anyone with an internet connection and an AI with asking it for links can verify the truth for themselves.
Those who are lazy and dumb and will fall for such baseless words that you provided here and will of course high five your comments mindlessly.

Jesus knew they would misunderstand, and he wanted them to leave.

Jesus was a rabbi. They were seeking new works from him for them to do for salvation.

So Jesus zapped them with a work he knew would totally turn them off and get them to stop following him.

​
The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—​
they are full of the Spirit and life. 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. He went on to say, “This is why I told you that no one can come ​
to me unless the Father has enabled them.”​
From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him. John 6:63-66​
​
Jesus weeded his garden that day.
While there are those who accepted a false Jesus, or believed a different gospel, or those who may fake a belief in Jesus for some other secret and bad or selfish carnal purpose, there are those who believe correctly in the beginning and then later fall away.

Luke 8:13 (KJV)

"They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away."

For those who are “translators”, translating the Greek into English, yes, of course. It doesn’t take a genius to know that. But the question in the thread is, “ is it NECESSARY for “believers”? That means ordinary readers of the Bible—not TRANSLATORS of the Bible’s. “Believers” and “TRANSLATORS” are not necessarily all the same people. While all “translators “ may be “believers”, not all “believers” are “translators.” Don’t confuse what the thread is asking.

The Holy Spirit wrote in Eph. 3:4, and Paul said that he received hIS knowledge about the gospel of Christ by “REVELATION” and WHEN YOU READ, YOU MAY UNDERSTAND MY KNOWLEDGE….Who is the “YOU” that Paul is talking about? It’s you, me, and WHOEVER may read. Yes, and even TRANSLATORs! Neither Paul, nor the Holy Spirit, nor God, nor Jesus Christ ever say ANYTHING about needing a knowledges of the Greek language in order to “understand” what they were saying. To make that a “requirement” in order to understand their message is not true and is an insult to the Trinity.
Also, what do you do with Jupiter in Acts 14:12 in the KJV?
The underlying Greek word is Dia (the accusative of Zeus).
While it is not an error because it is interpretatio Romana, we do have to realize that your average person reading the KJV with an English only approach is not going to know this is actually a reference to Zeus.

Note: Please understand I believe the KJV is without error and it should be the only English Bible we preach in churches today.
But by going by the English alone will lead you to conclude the wrong thing because it is a 400 year old book and the Textus Receptus, and KJV translators lived in a world heavily steeped in Latin scholarship.
