His Flesh is true food and His Blood is true drink. Unless we eat His Flesh and drink His Blood, we will not have life within us.
This is something that Jesus repeated, that he EMPHASIZED.
Metaphorical? Why then would so many of his followers fall away, decrying the saying as too hard for them?
Then when He turned to the Apostles and asked “Will you also leave?”, Peter answered “Lord, to whom shall we go? Your words are eternal life.”
A communion that is merely symbolic is just that: a symbol. Without the Real Presence of the Body and Blood of Christ, without being baptized in water and spirit, how can we come to our Father in Heaven?
All true.
So you believe that Jesus sinned by eating blood and encouraged others to do the same?
Oh how sad that your religion refuses to teach you this...
Col_1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Rom_8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
This is not speaking about Christ in you when ever you eat a cracker...This is Christ in you 24/7...He dwells within believers; Christians...
Rom_8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
Rom_8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
And if Jesus doesn't live within you 24/7???
Rom_8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Do you understand the ramifications of this??? If you don't have this indwelling of God, you are none of his...That ought to shake a lot of people up...
Col_3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
The word of Christ is the written words of the scriptures...Pick up the book...Put down the catechism and learn of God...
