Hello amadeus, Why would you think the reality is not present in the image? Here is Paul on the subject: For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body, eats and drinks judgment on himself Peace be with you!

To bring it back to the topic of your thread, does this mean we cannot walk together? We, both of us agree that Jesus is our Lord and Saviour ... Is that enough?

Indeed, we are saved through faith, and that is a gift frlm God! But can we have faith and Jesus, and question the Truth of what He said? 'this is my body, take and eat' ' this cup is the new covenant in my blood, take and drink' 'he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood will never die' Can...

The Church is that remnant of Israel that were united to Christ. She is the cultivated olive tree onto which the gentiles were grafted... Does that mean the Lord has forgotten Israel according to the flesh? No! They were blinded, cut off,for our sake.... And in due time they will be grafted...

Or do they in fact convey the Grace, that they symbolize and represent? Can we walk together and yet not come together to celebrate this gift? Can we tear and bite at one another and yet come forward to offer our sacrifice of thanksgiving and praise Better to leave our sacrifice at the altar...

I belive the Church IS the Bride, that the Bride Is the Church! That the Lord came and wed His people, Israel, as He promised He would do... Oh and what glorious mercy, that we gentiles were invited and welcomed into that union! Peace be with you!

Well Paul's exhortation on the Eucharist comes to mind... The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? Because the loaf of bread is one, we, though many, are one body, for we all...

I don't think I have a favourite psalm... But here is one im meditating on today: 130 A song of ascents. Out of the depths I call to you, LORD; Lord, hear my cry! May your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy. If you, LORD, mark our sins, Lord, who can stand? But with you is forgiveness...

Lord, thank you for this day! I am always stunned by the beauty of your masterpiece of creation... I adore You! Good night

Hello Hope, Perhaps, but I think there may be many more in the 'gang' then you suspect.. Rev 7:9 After this I had a vision of a great multitude, which no one could count, from every nation, race, people, and tongue. They stood before the throne and before the Lamb, wearing white robes and...

Read that letter from John again! He gives good and loving counsel for us when we see our brethren stumble... Pray for them! As I hope they pray for us! Peace be with you!

No i don't think so. But if the Lord spoke to you through him, well Alleluia! Keep him in your prayers...

And Abraham believed God.... As opposed to ' did God really say...?' Peace be with you!

Your question was answered. Why do you kick at the goad? Peace be with you!

Hello Zachary, Hosea 4:6 comes to mind.. My people perish for want of knowledge! Since you have rejected knowledge, I will reject you from my priesthood; Since you have ignored the law of your God, I will also ignore your sons. Son of David, have mercy on us! Peace be with you!

Hello marks, Or do we show our gentleness and forbearance by forgiving and loving those whose posts irritate us... Peace be with you!

Hi Davy, Indeed John's message is all about love. Can we say we abide on Christ, and yet not love those around us? We are called to share all that we have, just as Jesus shared all that He has for our sakes... Even to the laying down of our lives for those who would destroy us... Do we...

Do it for God's glory! :)

So you won't mind then if I point out that the children of the Reformation (for the most part) have embraced 'the people's justice' ? Peace be with you!

the peoples justice... if it is the peoples justice it is not the Lords justice (or mercy!) you say this is a side point, but it is the thrust of Episkopos argument.. in any event, i will withdraw and leave you 2 to it...
