I think we might get a better understanding of each other if you read my post 407. If I am speaking of LITERAL things, and you are speaking of SPIRITUAL things, we will never come to an understanding of God’s Word. For instance, will Peter and the 11 LITERALLY be seated on 12 thrones judging the LITERAL twelve tribes of Israel during the LITERAL Millenial Reign of Christ’s LITERAL Kingdom on earth? And so on..
Oh, I understand you very well, I reject your understanding of Scripture and what is literal and what is spiritual.
Your misunderstanding comes from the division of Jesus into the Jewish Messiah and the Christian Savior.
It is not what Scripture teaches, though with wresting verses to suit one’s understanding, it can certainly fool people into thinking it is.
Paul believed in one body, one Lord of all.
The blessing-cup, which we bless, is it not a sharing in the blood of Christ; and the loaf of bread which we break, is it not a sharing in the body of Christ? And as there is one loaf, so we, although there are many of us, are one single body, for we all share in the one loaf. (1 Corinthians 10:16-17)
and then further
1 Cor 12 Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. 13 For we were all baptized by[c] one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. 14 Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.
