John 6 If it is a “symbol” why is it in all Three gosples,and did Our Lord explain if the peopele did not understand… when He was talking in “SYMBOL” Lets read it as a "symbol"Matthew 26:26, Mark 14:22, Luke 22:19, ‘This is a symbol of my body’.
- John 6:35 ‘I am a symbol of the bread of life’.
If the manna in the desert is SYMBOLIC of the Holy Eucharist, does an O.T. symbol ever point o another symbol in the N.T.?
If you think so, then what is the purpose of typology? - John 6:51 ‘I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he will live for ever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is only a symbol of my flesh’.
- John 6:57, ‘and I live because of the Father, so he who eats a symbol of me will live because of me’.
Does a symbol of something have the powers of that something? - 1Corinthians 11:29, ‘For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the BODY, could not possibly eat and drink judgment upon himself, for how could a mere symbol harm anyone’?IT MAKES NO SENSE
