Can I suggest that rather than attacking me, you should have started up your own thread to present your own ideas? What you have done is rather ungracious and lacking in Christian character.

Well, there is the problem. I wasn't doing an exegesis of John 6. I was covering 1 Corinthians 11.

I have to admit, that is very handy.

I would have thought it was self-explanatory. However, I will do my best. Like most things that I say, it starts because someone challenges what I believe. When that happens I don't get all defensive and call them names. I go back to square one and look at it again for the simple reason if I am...

Being free from sin and that sin are two different things.

OH! I knew that where Paul said he counted everything but loss what he meant was dung.

Whatever pure grape juice is. Having done an extensive study of Jewish life and culture, I can assure you that the Jews were alcoholic wine drinkers.

Is that so? What is pelican hockey?

That interpretation probably covers almost everyone in the church. Anyone who refuses to flow with the Spirit is a legalist as Frank Sinatra sang "I did it my way." Churches all over the world are legalists because they have this mindset which says "we have been doing this for the last 100 years...

That verse has nothing at all to do with who is right and who is wrong. It is about correcting someone in the fellowship who has strayed from the accepted standard and in all probability committing sin. The Holy Spirit has the last word on truth because it says that the Holy Spirit will lead...

Why don't you ask him? If he said it then he will know the answer.

I was born again at the age of eleven. All I knew was this... John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that everyone believing into Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Nothing more and nothing less and here I am 67 years later still born again...

NO.

I can't help feeling that your experience at St Martin's is due in no small part that the diocese has come out firmly against same-sex marriage and has separated itself from mainline Anglicanism and formed a breakaway group with others around the world.

I never said they didn't. I don't base my exegesis on what a specific church does. I was doing an exegesis of 1 Corinthians 11. Not Malachi 1 v 11. The Didache is an interpretation so it is no different to what I did.

Sorry but I can't find those words in the passage in 1 Corinthians 11.

Easter is a pagan festival adopted by the church, altered and made it's own.

A 10-year study of the New Testament Church that is ongoing. If I come across something I do not know I dive in to find out more.

I don't as a practice use other people's work and pass it off as mine. And as I said at the beginning I am working with a literal translation of scripture. which does not say what you say it does.

I did not comment on v 30 as it was not essential in the explanation of the meal. As I said I was not going to comment on the passage verse by verse. However, when I read that verse I think of Ananias and Saphira dropping dead because they told a lie. That and verse 30 reminds us that following...
