Since this topic keeps popping up on the Genesis thread -- I vote that it gets its own focus and space.
1. Everyone might agree that just because one text uses a symbol - does not mean all texts are symbolic.
2. There are allegories - like the one in Judges where "the trees go out to elect a king" - and nobody is all that challenged when reading that text. Judges 9:8
3. 1 Cor 11 "do this in remembrance of Me" makes it a memorial does it not?
1 Cor 11
23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 25 In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.
Jer 31:31-33 "THIS is the New Covenant"
Hebrews 8:6-12 "THIS is the New Covenant"
John 10: 7 So Jesus said to them again, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep
John 15: 5 "I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.
