Your response is all mumbo jumbo to me.

Then why didn't the New Testament Church observe communion as we know it?

You disagree Xavier because you have not studied the scriptures or the history of Judaism. In other words, what you claim is from ignorance.

Sorry but this is a figment of your imagination. The Jews were FORBIDDEN to eat human flesh and drink human blood. That being the case, Jesus would not tell them to eat his flesh or drink his blood.

The Living God considers those in Christ to be holy. That's "holy communion". I was responding to this claim

Yes sir. I have read the passage hundreds of times and written a paper on the subject after consulting with many learned theologians on the subject who are far more qualified than you or I are. You are just trotting out the standard teaching on the subject which people in the church seem to...

Then why didn't the New Testament Church observe communion as we know it? Jesus' body was not broken. I commune with God through prayer, not his body. We are not his flesh and bones. He is a risen Savior and we are new creatures in Christ born again through his shed blood.

Are you an expert at drawing the long bow?

Whose Welch?

Yes it did as there was no such thing as non-alchoholic wine in those days. Even the children drank it watered down with water.

I don't need bread and wine to be able to do this.

I must admit I admire your vivid imagination sparky Greg as what you said and what Jesus said bear no resemblance to each other.

The question is why don't church singles groups encourage people to get married? Siiiiiiiiiiimple! If they were married there would be no singles group.

I somehow get the idea we don't need to come up with false prophecies because the learner has them all. Plus I think there is much more benefit to discussing prophecies that are not false.
