Yes, I will bow to Jesus when I meet him face to face. He is worthy of all of my praise.

I will not, however, bow to anything created on this earth. Please answer my question about where are the tabernacles located in my photos?

Jesus wasn’t meaning to be literal, as he stated in John 16:25. Which I’ve said several times.
Though I have been speaking figuratively, a time is coming when I will no longer use this kind of language but will tell you plainly about my Father.

We will have to agree to disagree. I respect your beliefs and I know that they bring you peace. They are not my beliefs. My beliefs bring me peace. I know my denomination is not the “one true” church and I would never state that. It would be nice if you could also state the same. I don’t believe that you can or will, but that’s ok. Jesus is Lord and I live my life for His glory, and it’s not about a denomination.

May God richly bless you and your family.

And Catholics believe He is in the Tabernacle.

There is no Tabernacle, and they are not worshiping. It may appear that way,but if you ask them they will tell you in all sincerity that they are not. Just as I have said I am not. Are you going to tell me that you know my heart?

Jesus wasn’t meaning to be literal, as he stated in John 16:25. Which I’ve said several times. Though I have been speaking figuratively, a time is coming when I will no longer use this kind of language but will tell you plainly about my Father.

Then why did he say He say His body was REAL food and His Blood REAL drink?

When Jesus Spoke to Saul/Paul He asked Why do youn Persecute ME?

May God richly bless you and your family. And you and yours as well.

**I will not, however, bow to anything created on this earth.**

And who do you think created everything on this earth?

Haven’t you heard the joke yet about the scientist wanting to challenge God and creat a human? When the scientist dipped his hand down into the dirt, God said, “Create your own dirt!”

End of challenge!

Even the hosts of wheat come from God — through human hands, but that does not mean they are corrupted.

Jesus used a lot of material objects to describe Himself—He said, “I am the Light.” “I am the Door.” “I am the Shepherd.”

But He never said, “That light is Me.” “That door is Me.” “That shepherd is Me.”

However, He did say, “That Bread is Me. That Wine is Me.”

You either believe Christ or you think he is a liar.

Your choice.

You have stated this incorrectly several times. Read John 16 in context again. 16:25 refers to 16:21 where Jesus is speaking figuratively about “...as a woman in labor...feels pain...”.

Christ is clearly talking about what He cannot tell the Apostles about the pain he will endure, he doesn’t think they can accept it...and the fact they he is leaving them, “a little while and you will not see me, and a little while you will see me”
