What is the point of your post? You have not drawn any conclusions so it is like this verse is it. FYI, on the day of Pentecost when 3,000 men were saved, your prayer was irrelevant and the significant action that was required was baptism by immersion. With a lot of beliefs and faiths in those...

P.S. If you are trying to provoke me don't bother. I am too old and too sure of what I believe to be provoked. Having been taught by some of the finest teachers on the planet, having a theological degree from Bible College, having taught in Bible College, having the gift of teaching and have a...

I like what you said apart from your last sentence. If the last supper, celebrated once a year, is the Lord's supper, celebrated every week or as is the case with Roman Catholics, every day, who don't we celebrate it once a year? Not logical.

Some good comments except his body was not broken. It is not in the original.

I never said it did.

What I am saying is what I said in my last post.

Debatable depending whether you are Calvinist or an Armenian. I studied this aspect of things at Bible College and it produced rigorous debate when we lined up and waited for meals. No one said the other person's belief was completely false. I guess it showed we welcomed a challenge to our...

Gulp! That has got to be the weirdest interpretation of scripture I have ever read. May I suggest you get some books on the customs and habits of the Jews and find out what went on during the EATING at feasts.

If you want to be so pedantic, I do hope you meet on the biblical sabbath - Saturday.

The verse you quoted was directed to the priests under the Old Covenant. It does not apply to believers under the New Covenant. Unless you know how to exegete scripture you would not be aware of this.

Lucky you if that is the right term. The wine would have been wasted on me as a couple of glasses and I am gone.

That is where the conundrum lies. He is not willing that any will perish but because of his foreknowledge, he does not offer salvation to all as he knows who will accept it and who will reject it.

You will find that the Passover meal was celebrated once a year and Jesus who was a perfect Jew, would have celebrated it every year with his family.

An interesting comment. As I understand it the Seder was the meal that began the celebration of the Passover week with the last Supper being the culmination of it. The Seder is a feast that includes reading, drinking wine, telling stories, eating special foods, singing, and other Passover...

I have started reading a book where the main characters are a Jewish family and a Palestinian family. In it, the Jewish grandfather says "I love you dearly David, almost as much as my own daughter. Enough even to break bread with Amos Ben-Aron."

Thank you for your gracious :eek: response.

Whatever it represents, it has no relevance to the subject matter of this thread.

Such a pity.

In the Old Testament, the farmers gave one-tenth of their produce to the Lord as a means of thanksgiving and so the priests could eat. What they gave was always produce, not money. This is one of the things the church has got wrong in demanding a tenth of your income to be given to the church...

The first point. Jesus did not need to specify how often. As Jews, they would have understood the reference in terms of the annual Passover feast as in "Whenever you do this [Passover feast] do it in remembrance of me (not your deliverance from Egypt or coming Messiah) for the simple reason the...
