You know Hobe there is a big difference between a metaphor and actual physical needs ...Not everything is mere words....The Israelites collected this substance(Manna) and they ATE it for sustenance not that it was a TEACHING... But you are entitled to your opinion....But we have digressed once again from the subject at hand and as usual you and others have placed your Jesus where it/him doesnt belong...Both of you know very little of what I know Manna was mushrooms..The Greeks referred to them as Ambrosia the food of the gods...The Israelites ate them to survive
Manna, bread from heaven, the food of angels, is a metaphor for teaching from God.
When it was written that the word became flesh, the author was establishing that the preexisting metaphor for the word of God, manna or teaching from heaven, became flesh, a new metaphor brought into the world for the life of the world by Jesus.
To eat bread from heaven, the word that became flesh, the body of Christ being the body of the teaching that he received from God, one must devour it with their ear and digest it through the understanding.
