Eze 3:2 So I opened my mouth, and He fed me this scroll. Eze 3:3 He said to me, "Son of man, feed your stomach and fill your body with this scroll which I am giving you." Then I ate it, and it was sweet as honey in my mouth.
You carefully avoid the scripture with the cited metaphor.
shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach Adonai Eze 3:1 Then He said to me, "Son of man, eat what you find; eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel."
Clearly the scroll is the Word of G-d to be ingested and then preached.
***You carefully avoid the scripture with the cited metaphor.***
I avoid nothing.
The passage in Ezekiel is for his to ingest the prophesies that he will bring to Israel.
The Eucharist is for all men who will accept Jesus Christ.
You see? Exclusive versus inclusive. Priesthood/Prophet versus all men.
***Clearly the scroll is the Word of G-d to be ingested and then preached. ***
This is what happens when someone spurns the Church of Jesus in favour of a silly hybrid that makes no sense whatsoever since it was rather pointedly proscribed in the NT. Why do you hang onto the remnants of the Old that are superseded by Jesus Christ?
A Christian cannot pick and choose. Either he follows the commands of Christ including instructions as to the Church or he does not. Christians cannot be of the cafeteria variety.
Well we don't believe that just because we take the Eucharist we can go and preach. Jesus's Body doesn't have that kind of "magic." It doesn't make us smarter and it doesn't impart any Gnostic qualities to us as Eze 3 seems to suggest.
