• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

He says to eat the bread and drink the wine (symbolic) and remember his death until he comes again, not bring him down from heaven to your altar to be slain again.

No, He said "This is My body" and "This is My blood". He also said we must eat His flesh and drink His blood (John 6:54-58).

You're the only one saying anything about bringing Jesus down to be slain again. I'm certainly not, that would be ludicrous.

No, He said “this is my body” and “this is my blood” (not symbolic).

Absolutely symbolic because he was sitting there alive, handing them literal bread and wine as he said it.

You can think whatever you like, I believe its an abomination. Go and talk about drinking blood down in the Lutheran area. This is about creation.

No, His exact words were”this is my body,” and “this is my blood.” Are you saying that God can create the Universe, the Earth and every living thing on the Earth in 7 days, but He cannot make bread and wine His body and blood?

Try reading the OP. This thread is about those who say that people need to believe the Genesis account of creation but don’t need to believe the the exact meaning of the words of Jesus at the Last Supper. It fits on this thread. You want to pick and choose what parts of the Bible you believe.

Oh, and it isn’t up to you to tell me where I can be on CF.

Then quit asking, I gave you my view on it a few times.
I believe it is symbolic. My answer won't change.
