I would rather spend my time with 100 cats than with 100 humans.

What does this verse mean? .
John 6:63 63 The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life. (NIV)

Hi James,
John 6:66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
What were the words from that particular time and moment that were said, that caused them to walk away? Hint the verse 65, was a summary of the whole chapter six discourse, the word "therefore" is the cue to the summary , it points back to the parable eat flesh, drink blood, it has to do with God having mercy on whom He wills to have mercy and hardening the ones that walked away.
Joh 6:65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
It was from that verse that the disciples no longer walked with Christ.

If you didn't retain it the first time I explained it, then you're not serious about considering my response anyways.
I know what that means even if you don't! It means that the words that Jesus spoke were spirit not what you Roman Catholics think that they mean! Go back a few verses and you will find that his teachings are anything but what you believe!
John 6:32-40 32 Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world." 34 "Sir," they said, "from now on give us this bread." 35 Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty. 36 But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe. 37 All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. 38 For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. 39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. 40 For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day." (NIV)

and make no Christian attempt whatsoever to recconcile them. This represents a serious problem that you guys have, namely packaging your faith in a shrink-to-fit size, when that was never God's intenton of how it was supposed to be. As time goes by, you look sillier and sillier with your ridiculous habit of pitting a text against it's very self! I hope you keep it up, so we can keep laughing at you. When I read your explanations, I hear circus music and picture you in clown suits.

And you have no problem with ignoring verse 63?

I totally reconcile that verse with the text. I totally embrace that verse. And I've explained it 100 times, and again, you're not going to listen
