The disciples didn't drink literal blood and neither do we. They didn't eat literal flesh and would have been horrified at the thought. Christ may be present in the elements without the elements being anything other than what they are. Jesus' words should be seen in the context of many...

At the Methodist Church they use real bread. But I don't see why the kind of bread matters. Or the kind of wine and such. It's symbolism after all.

Aren't you a Christian? Why don't you partake then?

Chalk? No, it's a cracker or bread. The original bread was unleavened. Pretty much a hard cracker.

The passover feast is the Seder, the Jewish Passover feast. Some Messianic Christians also take it. If you understand a bit about the Seder you would understand how Jesus fulfilled what it looked forward to. Yes, I've only taken the Seder once myself. But Communion fulfills the essence of the...

Good summary.

Nonsense. Let's look at what Arminians and the Bible actually teach: John 3:16-17 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that...

This verse is about God's judgement on people for evil, not about God originally creating evil.

For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. Nothing about water in there.

Again, show me where it says it's the Roman Catholic church in view. It doesn't.

Right! A sign doesn't save, it points to salvation. Just as the bread isn't Christ in the Eucharist, but points to Christ as a symbol.

Why don't you do what Jesus says and take communion?

You don't take communion? Phillip gives permission for the baptism. He doesn't command it.

It's A deep subject. The thing to remember is that God isn't the one causing our suffering. It's evil and people agreeing with evil.

Show me from scripture that the rapture is going to happen at all. Not the final judgement, that's clear. The rapture is a fairly new doctrine and iffy at best biblically.
