"After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me." Some folks believe that it's just grape juice.
Uh, yeah, sure.
Good. That's just the response I hope other Christian's will have when it happens.
Interpretation has to bear at least a passing relationship between what it written in the original and what you "interpret" it to mean. You can't just make up stuff out of whole cloth and say "that's what that means" as you have done.
The point was they were published in a "peer reviewed" publication, and it was a tissue of lies. Your idea that it can't be published unless it's true is simply nonsense. (As is cold fusion).
Is this a racial thing? I can't honor a great man held in esteem by my forebears without being accused of some kind of impropriety? If we're gonna play games like that, how is that you revere your "Christian's Guide To The Bible" so much that you make it your avatar? How do we know that it isn't filled with rank heresy? Shouldn't you be using a Bible instead? Preferably the KJV?'
You apparently didn't read the Scripture I posted. Our Lord said that the elements of the Eucharist are His Body and His Blood. I believe Him. Many do not, as they think it a bit gross. A "hard saying", don'tcha know?
Apparently in your economy it means "making up what you want Scripture to say".
Probably because the question was as obnoxious as it was stupid, which is to say, very. But anyway, it's a tacit admission that you can't support your specious arguments by any means other than insults and abuse, which means, sirrah, that you know you're up a tree and lack the honesty to admit it.
Hi Brother. I appreciate your quote from Brother Buford as it resonates as true with me, not that I am anything nor my opinion has any merit above others. I have been reading the discussions between you and Guide to the Bible. Clearly we as a body of believers which I take it to mean "those who are family according to the sacrifice of Christ Jesus our Lord ..who were no people but now heirs of the promise. " I guess you could say that Jesus is the head and we are His body since that is who Paul was persecuting when Jesus asked him on the road to Damascus, " Saul , why persecutest thou me ? " With that said , I often wonder if I do not cause my other family members to sin by what I write or me to sin by the "spirit " in which I respond. Even if I might per chance be somewhat correct in my understanding but it leads me to feeling superior, ironically I think it is pushing me down the wrong path towards humility. I believe the "enemy" loves to have us involved in useless debates , relying on knowledge and suppositions which leads to debate and strife , more or less calling our brother a fool in so many words. Since there is one Lord , one faith and one baptism and many many thousands of denominations , clearly we are all wrong about something and probably many things. I keep hoping for more love and less knowledge. Without question, we are all ignorant in understanding and power when compared to God but yet He had pity on us ..Had He judged us like we judge each other, what could He say about me but that I am woefully inadequate in comparison to His holiness and His great love. I am not sure that many of these "prophecies" , particularly from online , are not just distractions from preparing ourselves in love for His return ...I believe that if I have humility and Godly love ( which comes from Him) I will not be deceived. I believe that if I understand all things but have not love , then my knowledge is useless and I have already been deceived with or without the arrival of " The Anti-Christ " whether he be an actual person or a spirit which encompasses "man" and makes man think he is God and exalt himself .
