The historical record shows that for some congregations the real presence means the real presence of his flesh and blood in the bread and the cup in the corporeal sense. After all, his being the son of man and his suffering is significant to who he is. For other congregations it may mean the...

I don't understand what you mean by "stressing verse 27 in isolation from verses 28 and 29. I deliberately posted verses 28 and 29 because examining ourselves is in the context of verse 26 and 27. 26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he...

The poster is just pointing out the semantics at play. He's not mocking anyone.

Respectfully, you're mistaken. I didn't twist anything; I simply posted the above scripture in the context it was written. 29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. 30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among...

I believe Paul is saying we eat and drink unworthily when we do so in a manner that does not display a common union in reverence for his self-sacrifice, who suffered crucifixion and death for our sake. 20 When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper. 21...

For me the sacred thing is perceived in the suffering that Jesus endured unto death when sacrificing himself so that sins could be forgiven, and there is a sweet sorrow in knowing the beauty of God's Spirit through the lamb of God. When you say medicine of immortality, I think by his stripes we...

When parsing the semantics, there can be a real body in the sense that Jesus had a real body, and we eat and drink his person who came in the flesh as a spiritual food. There can also be the body of Christ that is the church with Jesus as the head, wherein we being many pieces are one bread...

I think "soul" as a vessel of spirit would necessarily imply personhood as an individual identity, or Animas. The semantics will most likely become more complicated when discussing what actually constitutes personhood, particularly in the moral/immoral aspects where the...

I think the sentiment you're trying to articulate is "The intent and action of terminating an unwanted pregnancy".

I've read the discourse. The understanding/misunderstanding of terms seems relevant to the issue. The poster @BNR32FAN said: "Ok I thought the discussion was about the Eucharist being the actual body and blood of Christ, not the Spiritual presence of Him. The liturgy of Mark provides evidence of...

Let's be careful here in what we say. In parsing semantics there's a such thing as establishing a precept or precedence. In this case, The Word partook of flesh and blood so that we could partake of him as a quickening Spirit. We spiritually eat him when we believe in him as the Christ, the True...

For what it's worth, I wouldn't say that. We're talking about spiritual discernment. Scripture says He searches the hearts to know the intentions of our thoughts. That's also how the Holy Spirit is able to guide us unto life and convict us of sin, just like Jesus was able to correct the...

I don't see how there could be any mystery for God.

Yes. Semantics in thought=psycholinguistics. It's used in spiritual discernment. Semantics= the meanings/sentiments/spirit that are conveyed in the words people think and speak. 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing...

I've already stated this in Post #48: "However, his statement is in response to hearing the thoughts/sentiments/feelings of the Pharisee which is subjective semantic analysis (Spiritual discernment), and this is how Jesus knew what to say to correct the way the pharisee thought of the woman...
