3	9/18	John 6:52-70 (key: 65)	John 6:66–69 (ESV) — 66 After this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him. 67 So Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you want to go away as well?” 68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, 69 and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.”	Jesus taught that a person must eat his flesh and drink his blood to be a part of him. Jesus was elevating himself to God, because he was saying that the only way to live forever was through his flesh and blood. The statement would have been difficult to understand without the hind sight we possess. But, the disciples understood that he was talking of a spiritual kingdom and a spiritual refreshment.	We do develop idols when what God says we don't like. We then fashion the Jesus we believe in, independent of what the bible says. The bible calls that worshipping idols made out of your own hands. We don't get the choice to redefine God to our taste. Sure, we can do it, but it is false, misleading, and ultimately deadly. The bible is the definitive source for God and Jesus. Not a bit of it can be tossed.	Father, help me to stay grounded in the word. Help me to stay true to the truths or your word. Help me to stand up for truth. Protect me from the Babylonian world view that affects our culture today. May I stay true to you.
