Philippians 3:10 KJV
[10] That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
Tecarta Bible
What in your opinion does this scripture say?
It certainly does not say that you will be laid on the Lord's Table and literally sacrificed. Here's what you said: Then you are on the lords table.
But no Christian is on the Lord's Table. That would be nonsensical.

Has anyone been broken?

Matthew 21:44 KJV
[44] And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

Are we the body of Christ?
The Church is the spiritual and metaphorical Body of Christ. That has nothing to do with the bread and the cup on the Lord's Table. On the other hand, the oneness of the Body is displayed by everyone partaking of the elements of the Lord's Supper.

We are one bread. How can we( the body have nothing to do with it.

Valid point...John is the only Gospel that explains the requirement for the bread and wine ritual, but the actual occurrence is missing. Wonder why?

Because he gives the reality of the Eucharist in the bread of life discourse.

It is not a fluke that he precedes this with the multiplication of the loaves and the fish.

Peace!

Hi if or rest,

We are one bread. How can we (the body) have nothing to do with it.
We are PARTAKERS of one bread, therefore spiritually and metaphorically we are one bread. Unless you believe you came out of the oven like the Gingerbread Man.

Also, the Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation is FALSE since it is accompanied by the false teaching that Christ is RE-SACRIFICED at every Mass by an unauthorized human priest on a literal altar.

Would you say, that Paul was offering his body without spot without blemish unto the Lord daily?

If I am in the body of Christ do you partake of me?


Is Christ in you? Are you OF an quickening (life giving) Spirit? 1 Corinthians 9:13-14 Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar? [14] Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.

They which preach the gospel should live of the gospel. He said to pick up your cross and follow Him. Since He said to follow Him and to die ...do they not stand beside Him as a sign lifted ...an altar that growth up unto God in Christ. “They which wait at the altar ....to receive of the altar....are partakers WITH the altar and WHO is on it. Paul always spoke of the welfare of others and counted himself as to not yet received...Paul waited so others could go to Christ before him ...that is the gospel, is it not. resurrection life of a life-giving(quickening) Spirit toward another. Willing to give Life that we may have Life. In this the two commands are fulfilled. Ezekiel 11:20
[20] That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.

To partake with the Altar and to know the POWER of His resurrection: Mark 12:33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
^if eat of me by the mercies of God I am of a life-giving(quickening Spirit) is offensive...then what did Abraham do? We are not talking about sinful flesh but “they are flesh of MY flesh and bone of MY bone.”

“Because of the suffering, death and resurrection of the Son of God we have been made partakers of Christ. This Greek word “partakers” is “Metoches” meaning a “participant”, a “sharer” or a “partner”...”...1 Corinthians 3:9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.
