I’m sorry, you are STILL seriously misinterpreting what I say.

The problem that I had with your post is that you are accusing me of Communion being a re-sacrifice of Jesus, which is not the case.

And if you remove that, far as I can tell, the rest of your arguments from an earlier post need to be either significantly altered or don’t matter.

So can we take this one step at a time if you really want to talk this through? Because these long counter-posts feel like my beliefs are getting replaced by straw men.

The only other reply I’ll make here is that I spent five of the last eight long, LONG years learning hermeneutics, Biblical exegesis, and languages, and quite frankly I find it kind of insulting that you’d call me uneducated just because I come to a different conclusion than you after all that study.

There is no real flesh or real blood in the Christian Communion Remembrance. We are not feeding on flesh and blood so we can get GOD into us via the alimentary tract. We are taking the bread and wine (or grape juice if you prefer) in reverent remembrance of the flesh and blood sacrificed for us and our Salvation at Calvary, Once for All, Forever.

The simple symbols are used so that anyone, anywhere, can do this REMEMBRANCE showing the death Jesus went through for us until He comes for us.

Where two or more are gathered in His name, there is He in the midst of them.

That is a real promise fulfilled by Spiritual means, not physical presence.

I have been in prayer where His Presence was sensed SPIRITUALLY by each one present. Spiritual things are not discerned by the carnal man, they must be spiritually discerned.

The carnal man eats and drinks but his spirit starves.
