John six: Partaking promises you everlasting life. not immortality. immortality is for the "heavenly called",--- everlasting life is for the adam like , no bellybutton crowd. all should partake, if any it should do it, it is the "earthly class". The "anointed" are supposed to sacrifice their right to everlasting, earthly life (they could claim because of partaking). to gain immortality.-- the direct link is from partaking to perfection in paradise restored. now,
if only there would have been a talking snake, it would matter.
