1 | must we eat Jesus literally? | John 6:53 | kama17 | 22732 | ||
In John 6 Jesus said we must eat His flesh and drink His blood. I studied the Greek word for flesh used here and it seems to be literal (not figuretive). What could be the proper interpretation? | ||||||
2 | must we eat Jesus literally? | John 6:53 | Hank | 22735 | ||
Context, kama17, context! When Jesus held up the bread and cup and called them His body and His blood, His disciples obviously saw what they literally were and took His words in a decidedly figurative sense. In like manner so should we. --Hank | ||||||
3 | must we eat Jesus literally? | John 6:53 | Emmaus | 23795 | ||
Kama17, There is nothing to indicate Jesus meant anything other than what he said. There is no indication that what he said he meant figuratively. Otherwise why did so many leave him in John 6. And Paul certainly took Jesus literally in 1 Corinthians 10:16 and 11:27-30. What does "is" mean. The sacraments, whether you believe in one, two or seven are all real encounters with the real Christ. This was never in dispute for the first thousand years of Christianity. Do the research and you will see it for yourself. It may be a mysery as great as the Trinity, but it is truth nonetheless. |
