I was born a Gentile, it is in the Bible, and I can still (or, I can) read it. I memorized from it. And it was okay to do so.
Jesus' word is the center of Christianity.

You are wrong about me.
Jesus says we have to eat his flesh or we do not have life.
Catholics believe they turn wafers into Jesus' flesh.
I do not say that.
I said we have to obey Jesus and that is how we eat his flesh. That is not what Protestants say. You are falsely accusing me.
John 8:51 Very truly I tell you, whoever obeys my word will never see death."
I sensed infused something in what you were saying. Now you are saying to obey is to eat his flesh. Now where does that come from? You are talking about eating his flesh or you don't have life.
Why don't you just behave yourself?

That is what Jesus says.

She's trying to get you into one of her arguments.

Why don't you just like me? There are all kinds of people here.
We ought to obey Jesus.
Or remembering a verse that helps explain what she is trying to say.
That Scripture was written to the House of Israel and pertained to them. Not to the Gentiles.

That is right.
Matthew through John were pertaining to the House of Israel. Christ mentions that He came for them in those books.
Matthew 15:24--"But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
She could Google it?
It's so critical to know how to "Rightly Divide" the word of God. Otherwise, confusion runs amok.
No, if you need to Google something you always can.
If you understand the word of God you can share it with others.
We are living in the "Dispensation of Grace." Paul speaks of this. We can only receive eternal life by following what Paul received from the "Ascended Lord Jesus Christ."
And, that's what I'm doing.
John 6:
55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. 57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. 58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. 59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
