    BREAKING OF BREAD

    They may go hand in hand but I wasn't doing an exegesis of John 6. When I was in Bible College one of the lecturers did an exegesis of the gospel of John. Not once did he mention 1 Corinthians 11.

    BREAKING OF BREAD

    I am not going to get into a slanging match Mary. I believe what I believe because I have worked very hard at unravelling scripture for many years You could say that I have spent a lifetime of learning because I was born again when I was 11 years old in a little wooden Baptist Church in a...

    BREAKING OF BREAD

    I learnt it from myself. Go find it. When I started the study, the Internet had not been invented. My website is the myriad of notes that I have collected from all over the place, including sermons, teaching, Bible College, university, and my own personal library which numbers over 1,000 books...

    BREAKING OF BREAD

    It is there in the original Greek. I don't use the internet for sourcing original Greek. I use the original Greek.

    BREAKING OF BREAD

    That is debatable. In Acts, it makes it very clear that they were still Jews as they gathered in the temple regularly. The difference is that they were jews who were members of "The Way" who followed Jesus. Human blood and flesh were not included in unclean foods as that was a general...

    BREAKING OF BREAD

    My posts were an exegesis of 1 Corinthians 11, not a general discussion of bread and wine.

    BREAKING OF BREAD

    ! Corinthians 11 is Paul setting out expected behaviour when the church came together for a meal. As I said, the bread/sip idea was unknown to them.

    Easter

    Although a holiday of high religious significance in the Christian faith, many traditions associated with Easter date back to pre-Christian, pagan times Despite its significance as a Christian holy day, many of the traditions and symbols that play a key role in Easter observances actually have...

    Easter

    Thank you for your comprehensive exegesis of the passage concerned.

    BREAKING OF BREAD

    And the New Testament saints had jobs to go to or businesses to run. What they didn't have was I pads, computers, cars, books, theatre shows, five-day working weeks, family that lived the other side of the continent, basketball, cricket and so on. In other words all the distractions that we...

    truth only ? No. Not possible here.

    The standard that is set in scripture and was taught by the apostles. John 16:13 But when that One comes, the Spirit of Truth, He will guide you into all Truth, for He will not speak from Himself, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will announce the coming things to you. Joh 16:12...

    BREAKING OF BREAD

    You interpret it in the light of the rest of the verses in 1 Corinthians 11. I was taught that the best commentary on the Bible was the bible so one can find confirmation of truth by searching the Bible. In many cases when looking up a particular word, I find that this word and its meaning in...

    BREAKING OF BREAD

    Simple. In the original Greek, the linguists record the fact that what is translated as eat does in fact in its basic form mean meat.

    Pray for Boris

    I think it is very interesting the sort of men God is raising up to lead nations. If we wanted an example to follow one would not naturally choose Boris Johnson and Donald Trump, both of whom have sordid backgrounds full of wild wild women and divorces and girlfriends. And yet they are God's...

    BREAKING OF BREAD

    If we are to accept what it says in the book fo Acts, they met together daily not weekly.

    BREAKING OF BREAD

    If we are to believe you, Christians were simply continuing the annual observance of Passover, and in the meantime simply having *communal meals* without the Lord's Supper. THIS IS PATENTLY FALSE and both the New Testament and the witness of Christians about 100 years later will prove that...
