    What Is The Purpose Of Taking Communion ?

    . You see? This is what happens when people listen to ecclesiastic celebrities instead of listening to Christ. Well; serves them right; and I have to say that I can hardly wait to watch the Lord's reaction when the species theorists quote Rome's heroes in defense of their strange beliefs and...

    Half-baked Eucharist

    . Apparently Vatican II ruled that Catholics can now consume the wine element. But what about all those pre Vatican II Catholics? What's to become of them? Well; if what Jesus testified at John 6:53-54 can be assumed true and reliable; then all those pre Vatican II Catholics were dead men...

    Half-baked Eucharist

    The Catholic system in which I grew up; the congregation was never permitted to consume the wine element. So all those years I apparently observed the Lord's supper incorrectly; and if incorrectly, then I was robbed because according to the Lord's testimony as an expert witness in matters...

    What Is The Purpose Of Taking Communion ?

    You've somehow assumed that "sharing" and "partaking" indicate consuming. But the koiné Greek word doesn't mean that at all. The word translated for both sharing and partaking is koinonia (koy nohn-ee'-ah) which means partnership; elsewhere translated fellowship; for example: †. 1John 1:2-7 ...

    What Is The Purpose Of Taking Communion ?

    Sure, sure, whatever you say; only I wish you'd read some of post #14 first before passing judgment on my comments. BTW: my name isn't Buen Camino. The two words are a greeting sort of like Bon Voyage traditionally called out to pilgrims trekking the El Camino de Santiago in Spain; which begins...

    What Is The Purpose Of Taking Communion ?

    . That ought to be a red flag to a thinking person right there because according to Ex 7:17-21 and Rev 16:3-6, the Bible's God gives people blood to drink for retribution. It would be inconsistent of Him to give people blood to drink as a blessing; unless of course their name was Edward...

    Parenthesis

    Sarah's Grave In 1981, Dr. Seev Jevin, Director of the Israel Antiquities Authority, forced himself through a narrow opening in the underground grave chamber of the Machpela cave, where Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were believed to be buried. He did this under strict observation by the Islamic...

    Gen 23:10b-20

    †. Gen 23:10b-11 . . saying: No, my lord, hear me: I give you the field and I give you the cave that is in it; I give it to you in the presence of my people. Bury your dead. Ephron's generosity was no doubt sincere, but merely one more formality towards closing a deal on the property. Not...

    What Is The Purpose Of Taking Communion ?

    . If it were really a no-brainer and/or clearly pointing to the physical presence of Christ as you say; then there would be no disagreement as to the true meaning of the Lord's words. But he stated at John 6:63 that his words about consuming flesh and blood are spirit words rather than human...

    What Is The Purpose Of Taking Communion ?

    . Well; since God is eternal, then it only stands to reason that His life would be eternal too. But I have not been talking so much about the longevity of eternal life as I have about the nature of eternal life; viz: its properties. You probably understand the properties of human nature okay...

    Gen 23:1-10a

    †. Gen 23:1-2a . . Sarah's lifetime-- the span of Sarah's life --came to one hundred and twenty-seven years. Sarah died in Kiriath-arba-- now Hebron --in the land of Canaan; This is the only woman in the entire Tanakh for whom an age is given at the time of her death. Isaac was 37 at this...

    What Is The Purpose Of Taking Communion ?

    . The two are often confused. Immortality refers to the nature of an indestructible body; while eternal life refers to the nature of an indestructible soul. Far from being immortal, the natural-born human soul is quite susceptible to termination. †. Mtt 10:28 . . Fear not them which kill...

    What Is The Purpose Of Taking Communion ?

    . Let's say for the purpose of argument that transubstantiation is true. How often would somebody have to consume the Lord's flesh and blood? The answer is just once; and here's why. According to John 6:53-54 the kind of life that would be obtained by consuming the Lord's flesh and blood is...

    Gen 22:12-24

    †. Gen 22:12a . . And he said: Do not raise your hand against the lad, or do anything to him.

    . When the passengers and cargo of the ark came ashore; God instituted a covenant with them all that to my knowledge has never been either annulled, repealed, amended; nor rendered obsolete by another covenant.

    What Is The Purpose Of Taking Communion ?

    . That point is useful for refuting the so-called doctrine of transubstantiation. The Lord's hand-picked men were all Jews whose religion was Moses' covenanted law; which they were still under on the night of the Lord's last supper because a testament is in force only upon the death of the...
