@FeastOnHisFlesh@JDavenant I don't know, but my understanding is the Greek is "This is my body" vs "This represents my body". It is the intransitive meaning it actually was whether we understand how or not.
@AnimeAugsburg Well the fruit isn't alive just the seeds in the fruit but that is pedantic. I appreciate your perspective. I see how you get where you are from the text, I'm still not sure your right.
@AnimeAugsburg To say that death was already in the world would mean creation was made already dying.
Bit of an aside, with this thought you wouldn't count the making of cloth skins the first shedding of blood which was necessary due to sin?
@EasternMilk@WordProvesTrue I'm sorry, no matter how I read it. I can't agree with it how it is written. The exclusivity of it along with the spirituality of prayer reads as Mary acting as a savior. Our hope is in Christ and this distracts us from that instead of refocusing us to Him.
@EasternMilk@WordProvesTrue Then it runs the risk of being overly emphasized. I can agree with the concept but not the wording. especially as a repeated prayer.
@renewingprotest If we go by the belief that life(force) is held in the blood it makes sense why you are not to consume ordinary blood but why you must partake in the blood of Chirst.
God also said not to make idols but a snake lifted up on a pole was also commanded by God.
@Il_Pastore_TCMC@Sans_Google Just because the device is surrendered doesn't give implicit permission for search as well. Just means he can't do anything more on it
@Ragelynfyre@ReviewsPossum There is also a disconnect there. Just because I want to date you doesn't mean I have immediate plans to fuck you.
I think you and I could be compatible partners and could live a happy life together. I find you interesting and want a dedicated environment to get to know you.
@RealPostFolder So you want this man to wake up from a dead sleep and go charging into a fire with no other preperation? 6 minutes from a dead sleep isn't bad
@realmitchlittle Wasnβt part of the point to show us just how far he would go to redeem us? That love has no greater than this but lay down your life for another.
Not saying universalism is correct but that there wasnβt anything cruel about how God chose to save us.
@sourpatchlyds@DrNeilStone Heating and cooling is huge not only are more temperature zones habitable but also for food processing. We can have summer crops year round without having to pickle and can.
