Oh, no! Their trotting out their "symoblic" peashooter again.
So, let's see, the bread and cup are symbols of the body & blood, and overall of the sacrifice on the altar.
Let's see if we can decipher the 666Nero of John relating to Paul's "man of sin sitting in the temple."
It means _________ that all Christians need to know.
a. Caesar likes pizza and Christians should fellowship over a good Italian buffet.
b. Caesar has long-distance agents who push around Jews about their temple worship, and therefore, Christians should get really mad at both Romans and Jews. The lesson: pride should really hack you off!
c. Caesar longed to sit in the Jerusalem Temple but didn't like boat travel cause it made him seasick, and he didn't like overland cause it was just too much camping outside, so if he coulda done it, he woulda done it, and that means that he would've personally bonked the Jews if he could've, but it did give rise to travel agents.
d. Caesar didn't sit in the Temple, so he isn't the man of sin about whom Paul wrote.
They’re — symbolic.....
Sigh....
