And I suppose you have scriptures that support your theory?

Well, do you eat the Lord's flesh and drink his blood at Communion? I do not, literally.

"Literally" is not appropriate as you have used it regarding the body and the blood. "Literately" would be more in order because that is the meaning of a "literal" interpretation of scripture.

A literate, bible student would know that in the the "body/blood" passages, Jesus himself said "my words are spirit and they are life." Therefore, "literally" I do participate in the body and blood spiritually.

But, I detect from your writings that you have a "low" view of God. God is not capable of creating, nor is he capable knowing or directing the future.

My question would be, "Just what can this God you describe do? Don't you find yourself more often making up excuses for him than anything else?

And finally, what good is a God who is less than omnipotent and less than omniscient?
