John 6:53 Jesus therefore said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye have not life in yourselves.
You are plucking that ONE verse out of the entire chapter of John 6, and thinking it means you need to eat bread and drink wine to symbolize your belief.
That is NOT what the chapter, or that verse, means.
In fact, it means exactly the OPPOSITE of what you think it means.
Read the entire chapter. It is helpful to look at versions of the Bible other than the KJV, as well. The Expanded Bible gives more detail and makes references to other verses in the Bible, which I find helpful.
In context, Jesus was saying that the "bread" that the people must eat is their BELIEF, and NOT actual physical bread that you ingest. He even said that their ancestors had eaten physical bread, yet they died. But to live, you must "eat" the "bread" of Jesus, meaning understand and believe. And I would add that to "believe" means to live your life in accordance, by following The Law. Otherwise, you don't really believe (though that aspect is not included in this passage).
Just taking a slice of Wonder bread and eating it, thinking that it has any real meaning is childish behavior. It is nothing but performing a ritual. It is not actual understanding. And without understanding, you cannot believe. All you are doing is parroting what the others are doing. That is not real. That is fake.
And what did Martin Luther challenge the intellectuals of his day to do regarding the doctrines of the Catholic Church? He challenged them to DEBATE him, and they refused.
Among his 95 points to debate were these:
5 The pope neither desires nor is able to remit any penalties except those imposed by his own authority or that of the canons.
6 The pope cannot remit any guilt, except by declaring and showing that it has been remitted by God; or, to be sure, by remitting guilt in cases reserved to his judgment. If his right to grant remission in these cases were disregarded, the guilt would certainly remain unforgiven.
7 God remits guilt to no one unless at the same time he humbles him in all things and makes him submissive to the vicar, the priest.

all liars have their place in the lake of fire
Regarding Lake of Fire and other references to burning in the Bible, it does not say that it will be the liars. It says it will be the tares, which are also people who lie, but it goes way beyond that.
And just because someone says something YOU personally don't like does not mean THEY are a liar. Maybe YOU are. Or, maybe one or both MISUNDERSTAND what the Bible says.
Try reading Matthew 13:34-47 in both the KJV and the Expanded Bible versions.
The EXB gives a little more detail and alternate verbage to understand better. The Wheat and the Tares are the people who are one thing or another. And that is what is referred to regarding the Lake of Fire or the furnace, etc.
It is not merely someone who lies, or who YOU think is lying because you don't agree with their opinion. After all, as Martin Luther stated, Catholics do NOT have any authority to dictate what the Bible itself SAYS, and that includes your pope, who wears the goofy hat with the Star of Remphan, which is a Pagan symbol, and demonstrates the idolatry of a FALSE GOD.
Book of Acts, Chapter 7 --
43 Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.
The 2nd Commandment:
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
How do you reconcile the FACT that your pope wears the hat of a false god, yet God commands His people to NOT have other gods?
How do you reconcile the FACT that your pope claims to have the authority to wipe away sin, when the Bible says only God can do that?
If you follow what a mere man, who goes by the title of "pope" says, INSTEAD OF what God says, then aren't YOU worshiping a false god?
This is what Martin Luther was saying 500 years ago.
If you wonder why the majority of people in the world today are NOT Catholics, these are some of the reasons why.
The Catholics practice a false religion, according to the scripture of the Bible.
As a result, Catholics follow RITUALS, and not the Bible itself. This is why so many people think of Catholicism as a cult.
In your post, you plucked a single verse out of the Bible to JUSTIFY YOUR RITUAL, and NOT to understand the meaning of the scripture.

Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
How do you reconcile the FACT that your pope wears the hat of a false god, yet God commands His people to NOT have other gods?
How do you reconcile the FACT that your pope claims to have the authority to wipe away sin, when the Bible says only God can do that?
If you follow what a mere man, who goes by the title of "pope" says, INSTEAD OF what God says, then aren't YOU worshiping a false god?
This is what Martin Luther was saying 500 years ago.
If you wonder why the majority of people in the world today are NOT Catholics, these are some of the reasons why.
The Catholics practice a false religion, according to the scripture of the Bible.
Martin Luther was right.
John 6:53 Jesus therefore said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye have not life in yourselves.
You are plucking that ONE verse out of the entire chapter of John 6, and thinking it means you need to eat bread and drink wine to symbolize your belief.
That is NOT what the chapter, or that verse means.
Read the entire chapter. It is helpful to look at versions of the Bible other than the KJV, as well. The Expanded Bible gives more detail and makes references to other verses in the Bible, which I find helpful.
In context, Jesus was saying that the "bread" that the people must eat is their BELIEF, and NOT actual physical bread that you ingest. He even said that their ancestors had eaten physical bread, yet they died. But to live, you must "eat" the "bread" of Jesus, meaning understand and believe.
Just taking a slice of Wonder bread and eating it, thinking that it has any real meaning is childish behavior.
And what did Martin Luther challenge the intellectuals of his day to do regarding the doctrines of the Catholic Church? He challenged them to DEBATE him, and they refused.
One of his points to debate were these:
5 The pope neither desires nor is able to remit any penalties except those imposed by his own authority or that of the canons.
6 The pope cannot remit any guilt, except by declaring and showing that it has been remitted by God; or, to be sure, by remitting guilt in cases reserved to his judgment. If his right to grant remission in these cases were disregarded, the guilt would certainly remain unforgiven.
7 God remits guilt to no one unless at the same time he humbles him in all things and makes him submissive to the vicar, the priest.

all liars have their place in the lake of fire
Regarding Lake of Fire and other references to burning in the Bible, it does not say that it will be the liars. It says it will be the tares, which are also people who lie, but it goes way beyond that.
And just because someone says something YOU personally don't like does not mean THEY are a liar. Maybe YOU are. Or, maybe one or both MISUNDERSTAND what the Bible says.
Try reading Matthew 13:34-47 in both the KJV and the Expanded Bible versions.
The EXB gives a little more detail and alternate verbage to understand better. The Wheat and the Tares are the people who are one thing or another. And that is what is referred to regarding the Lake of Fire or the furnace, etc.
It is not merely someone who lies, or who YOU think is lying because you don't agree with their opinion. After all, as Martin Luther stated, Catholics do NOT have any authority to dictate what the Bible itself SAYS, and that includes your pope, who wears the goofy hat with the Star of Remphan, which is a Pagan symbol, and demonstrates the idolatry of a FALSE GOD.
Book of Acts, Chapter 7 --
43 Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.
The 2nd Commandment:
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
