John 6:66 . . From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

Well; we can hardly find fault with their decision to go away; I mean after all, the man was not only talking about cannibalism; but it is a breech of the Jews' covenant with God to eat blood.

Lev 7:27 . . If anyone eats blood, that person must be cut off from his people.

Lev 17:10 . . Any Israelite, or any alien living among them, who eats any blood-- I will set My face against that person who eats blood and will cut him off from his people.

Someone might object that those passages forbid eating the blood of birds and beasts, but don't specifically outlaw eating human blood. Personally I don't see how the latter would be any less disgusting than the former, but I'm willing to leave the human blood question to each man's own conscience because, to my knowledge, the Bible doesn't address vampirism.

John 6:67-68 . .Then Jesus said to the twelve, "Do you also want to go away?" But Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life."

I think most of us are willing to concede that Jesus has the words of eternal life; but unfortunately John 6:63 says his words are in code, viz: they're spirit words; which of course requires we have access to a spirit language translator in order to understand them.

Well; I can find a pretty good variety of language translators on the internet; but I have yet to find one that translates a spirit language. In my judicious opinion, when people attempt to understand Jesus' words without a spirit language translator, they are like a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat that isn't there.
