Could you perhaps give us the reason why it’s so important to believe that it becomes the literal flesh and blood of Jesus?
“Could you perhaps give us the reason why it’s so important to believe that it becomes the literal flesh and blood of Jesus?”
Please do not put words in my mouth (or fingers). I did not say it’s important to believe that it becomes...what I said is what Jesus said...’This is...’. The operative word is ‘is’. It is neither transsubstantation nor transliteration. It is...’is’...because Jesus said ‘this is...’
It is important that we take what the Word says and accept it without trying to twist it with theological doctrines to suit whatever point our particular man-made religiousity deeps the point we want to make.
