Jesus: "Unless ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye shall have no life in you."
Prot: Come on Jesus, all we need is you.
Jesus: "I assure you, that unless a man is born from water and from spirit he cannot enter the kingdom of God."
Prot: You don't need that, it doesn't save us!
Jesus: "For God commanded, saying, Honor thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death."
Prot: There no need to honor your sinning Mother.
Jesus: Well then have it your way, "“Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven"
