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.

Since I do not believe that you have personally quized every person that existed during the first 1500 years of the church, I do not believe that your statement has any credibility.I can eat 50 eggs said:
Jesus was the first one to question it when He said the flesh counted for nothing.

If His flesh counted for nothing, then the death of that very flesh also counted for nothing. I don't think you want to go there.Terri said:

Are you saying you don't know the difference between blood and flesh? Or did you just want to know why I believe we are saved by the blood? If it's the latter, I use scripture alone:Metanoia02 said:
Romans 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
1 John 1:7 and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
Revelation 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

So what do you make of the bit where Jesus breaks the bread, gives it to His disciples, and says 'This is my body which will be given up for you' ?TwinCrier said:

I still don't get what you're trying to prove though.TwinCrier said:
Are you saying that communion wine is real blood, but that communion bread is merely in remembrance of Jesus giving himself up for us?

I know the difference between the two, but why do you differentiate the two when concerning the sacrifice of Christ? Didn't Christ have to die in the flesh to atone for our sins? Or could He have merely just spilled His blood without really dying?TwinCrier said:
I agree with you on this, but I do not consider His flesh and blood to be separate. In your symbolic understanding of the Lord's Supper do you not celebrate His broken Body (the bread) and His shed blood (the wine) to be of equal significance?
