.
†. John 6:53 . . Jesus said to them: I tell you the truth, unless you eat the
flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
The kind of life about which the Bible's Jesus spoke in the 6th chapter of
John isn't vegetable life, nor beast life, nor angel life, nor insect life, nor
demon life, nor sea life, nor bird life, nor reptile life, nor human life. No,
none of those. The kind of life about which he spoke in the 6th chapter of
John was eternal life.
†. John 6:54 . .Whoso eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, has eternal life.
Note the grammatical tense of the Lord's "has" verb. It's present tense
rather than future, indicating that people who correctly dine upon the Lord's
flesh, and correctly imbibe his blood, are granted eternal life the instant they
do so-- no delay and no waiting period.
The ramifications of the Lord's statement are astounding because eternal life
is a kind of life that's impervious to death. So then, once the eaters of his
flesh, and the drinkers of his blood have eternal life, they can never lose it;
which means: they only have to dine upon his flesh and imbibe his blood just
one time and one time only-- which is very different from the daily
requirements of Yhvh's people who subsisted on manna. They couldn't get
by on just one dose of manna but had to gather it every day to feed
themselves or risk dying of starvation because human life isn't impervious to
death like eternal life is.
†. John 10:27-28 . . My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they
follow me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish
You know what the Lord's statement says to me? It says to me that people
passing themselves off as his followers, while not possessing eternal life,
have not only yet to correctly ingest his flesh and blood; but they aren't
even his sheep. In point of fact, according to God's testimony as an expert
witness in all matters pertaining to His own son; people passing themselves
off as the Lord's followers, while not possessing eternal life, are in indeed
quite christless.
†. 1John 5:11-12 . . And this is what God has testified: He has given us
eternal life, and this life is in His son. So whoever has God's son has the life;
whoever does not have the life, does not have His son.
A christless Christian is in very grave danger of eternal suffering.
†. Rom 8:9 . . If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not
belong to Christ.
