That's not me...I won't be there...So we get to call all the shots? How about fear (respect) of God?
He called all the shots already! ‘There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus!’
A number of biblical reasons...Jesus is called a door...But he isn't really is He??? Jesus is called the Lion of the tribe of Judah...But He's not really a lion, is He...And Jesus is not really a lamb...
There is no formula in the scriptures for anyone to turn Jesus body into a cracker...If Jesus was serious about physically eating His flesh, He'd have told someone how to turn the flesh into a cracker...But he didn't...
The transformation into a Christian takes place in your soul, not your flesh...There is no connection between your stomach and your soul...You can eat as many of those crackers as you can get your hands on and it still won't do anything for your Christianity, which is Spiritual...
Looking at just John chapter six one can see that Jesus says salvation comes from believing on Him...
Jesus says that if you eat the Bread, which is Jesus, you'll never be hungry again...Now you know that's not true, physically...
The people that turned from Jesus wanted something for their stomach...Just as you guys get when you eat the cracker....
Jesus says the whole discourse, the words that He spoke, is Spiritual...
Joh 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life
The words that Jesus spoke are spirit...Is that something you can grasp???
Just like the priest you talked about who doesn't know if he is headed for heaven or hell, there is a lack of spiritual discernment because there is a lack of the Spirit...
These verses will be mostly meaningless without the leading of the Spirit...You will only see these words thru the eyes of a pagan person...
