Your attitude is not appreciated, nor does it show the love of Christ. As I pointed out... "It is not I who am pretending that Christ is the bread and wine, but you are." Thus, the warning is for you.

So...the time of Christ and immediately following was not "TOTALLY UNIQUE?" (Rhetorical - don't bother answering)

That would mean...according to your comments: That time is not just a creation, "created" (by God). That God has a "shadow of turning." That God is not "I am", but rather "I was", "I is", and "I will be." That the created world is not "passing away." That Jesus lied about Himself being "before...

This is like the tabloid horoscopes which have just enough accuracy and just enough generality to be believed by anyone. Which is not to say that the word of God is of the same value, but rather that if the word of God is not discerned spiritually, it is of considerably less value, which value...

This can be broken down on a timeline pretty much anyway one wants to. Time is an illusion. But with God, in whom there is no shadow of turning...there is only one event, and only before and after.

You must not be paying attention. I answered your question already. As for the warning...that is also my warning to you, because it is not I who am pretending that Christ is the bread and wine, but you are. That is what is meant by an unworthy manner. To not receive Christ's word in spirit, is...

Mary, you are ranting things of he church and of men, even Catholic nonsense and not the spirit, and do not understand what you are reading. You are taking the scriptures literally when Christ said His words are spirit, and Paul explained that they must be discerned spiritually. And the...

We are not talking about what to do for salvation, i.e., believe, repent, etc.. We are talking about baptism, and just recently whether or not Jesus was and is actually manifest in the bread and the wine and should be made into idols of worship for religious practices, or that He was only...

You are not "hearing what the Spirit says" at all, you are making a religious practice out of the things Jesus said that you should understand were spoken in parable...that He is not a literal Lamb, a literal loaf of bread, etc.. But it is apparently worse than that. Just where do you intend to...

Whether Jesus' heart is being represented here or not person to person, I don't know. But I do know that the mercy of God embodied in Christ has a limit, which is evident in the verse quoted in the original verse. It may be that some use it as a threat, but that is not what Jesus was doing. He...

I should indeed walk away...because after I have answered you, you disrespectfully act as though I did not. I think what you meant to ask...is: What does that look like? Or: Would you please explain how it is that you "hear what the Spirit says" rather than trying to speculate what the language...

"He who has an ear let him here what the Spirit says" ...rather than make a ritual of what the language that was "confounded" by God says. "Be wiser than the serpent."

The pot is boiling but the frog is only offended.

Quotable.

Reminds me of a story of a guy who climbed up a mountain to ask a holy man what the meaning of life was. To which the holy man answered: "Go down the mountain and get a job shoveling yak manure." Confused the man asked, "What then?" The holy man answered, "When you have had enough of shoveling...

You shall see.

I have another one for you... "Mary had a little lamb whose fleece was white as snow." Was the lamb an actual lamb, or the Lamb of God? ...You are taking children's story literally, but missing the point.

It does not help that you search the scriptures to find a passage that seems to contradict the one I quoted. It does not contradict, nor can you or your so called preachers reconcile them. So, no, you are not weighing my word against other men's words that are not in accord with the scriptures...

Perhaps it is the NIV translation that has you confused. But even at that, it does not say what your are claiming...at all. You are adding things that aren't there.

That is the teachings of men. But by the gospel of His own words, if He comes into us, He does not do so bodily, but in spirit...which is Christ "as He is", not flesh and blood, but spirit. If we follow Him, this is our fate also. But the man of flesh will see that as less, even though God being...
