    Are Protestants dead?

    Jesus’ actual words were not BS. They were understood by his disciples attending the Last Supper, who had followed Him for 3 1/2 years by then. They knew that God (Spirit) only valued the part of humanity that reflected His image (spirit). When Jesus was speaking of the Communion as...
