That atheists tell us that all the time.I am curious to know how the bible contradicts my understanding; where the "different meanings", you allude to, are that I might re-consider my understanding?
So, what is your evidence that Jesus was using the "ancient Eastern" term? Maybe, He was using the Ancient "Western" definition.Rememberance
Modern Western: To recall in ones mind, to reflect on.
Ancient Eastern: To mystically revisit the event in question, steping outside of temporal time and space, along with the secular definition above. (Modern evangelicals have stripped the first part of the definition, as they have other words)
And, exactly what event would we be "mystically revisiting?"Rememberance

Speaking of honey, a quick question since the church catholic is suppose to be the deposit of faith and handler of Traditions why is it that the milk and honey Tradition from the first few centuries has gone by the way side? Just curious?What about honey???

Okay, so this ancient eastern terminology, what language was it?That was the culture He was manifested in the Flesh to. Why would He speak to His disciples using terms that would not appear for nearly 2000 years and 10,000 miles away ?

But, what language was it? Or, can you tell me what the word that Jesus used here was?Certainly not Early Modern English, and definitely not post-modernism English.
