27 | How is comunion only symbolic? | 1 Cor 10:16 | Ric | 5896 | ||
Jesus expected His disciples to take His words at the Last Supper in their figurative sense. The bread and wine did not change, but were symbols of His body and blood. The following arguments support this view. There is no indication in the Gospel accounts of the Last Supper that the Lord’s disciples thought that the bread and wine changed or that they worshiped them as divine. No reasonable person present at the Last Supper would have taken Jesus’ words to mean that He was now both at the table and on the table (and later under the table as crumbs were scattered). The Lord frequently used figurative language in His teachings even using the same verb translated “is” in His words “This is My body” (see John 6:48; 8:12; 10:9,11; 11:25 14:6; 15:1). Immediately after the Lord said of the wine, "This is my blood" (Matthew v 26:28), He said, “I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom” (Matthew 26:29). If the wine had changed into blood by His first statement, Jesus would not have referred to it in the second statement as “this fruit of the vine.” At the conclusion of the Last Supper, Jesus told His disciples, “These things I have spoken to you in figurative language” (John 16:25). There is nothing in the Book of Acts indicating that the first Christians believed the bread and wine changed. Neither do the Epistles of the New Testament speak of any change. One interpretation requires the eating of human flesh and drinking of human blood. This is strictly forbidden by Scripture (Leviticus 17:10-14; Acts 15:29). Scripture never ascribes more than one location at any given time to Christ’s bodily presence. According to the Bible, He is now enthroned in heaven. Christians are awaiting His Second Coming. He is not, therefore, bodily present in thousands of churches around the world. There is no precedent in Scripture for a miracle in which God expects the faithful to believe that something supernatural has happened despite all outward evidence indicating that nothing has happened. God has never dealt with people in this manner. |

28 | How is comunion only symbolic? | 1 Cor 10:16 | Ric | 5188 | ||
The cup of blessing used in the Lord's Supper brings us spiritually into participation in the blood of Christ and into fellowship with him. The same is true of the bread, whereby we become one body with him. The "cup of blessing" was a technical term for the third cup drunk at the Jewish Passover the time when the Lord's Supper was instituted. That "participation [G3126] in the blood of Christ" is meant to be a memorial symbol of fellowship with Christ rather than a literal drinking of his blood is clear from the fact that Christ had not yet died when he instituted this supper, and this participation is in remembering him, not in drinking him. | ||||||
29 | Did Jesus back up His claim in Jno 8:58? | John 8:58 | Ric | 5103 | ||
"Before Abraham was born, I am" could only mean a claim to deity. "Was born" implies the event of entering into a new state or condition of existence. "I am" (G1609, G1639) implies continuous existence, including existence when Abraham appeared. Jesus was, therefore, asserting that at the time of Abraham's birth, he existed. "I AM" was recognized by the Jews as a title of deity. | ||||||
30 | Difference between fear and afraid? | Bible general Archive 1 | Ric | 3852 | ||
My NIV Bible Dictionary states: FEAR (Heb. yirah, Gr. phobos). This word has two principal meanings: (1) that apprehension of evil that normally leads one either to flee or to fight and (2) that awe and reverence felt in the presence of a higher authority (be it parent, husband, or especially God). The word "reverend," which occurs only in the KJV of Psalm 111:9 (NIV has "awesome"), means literally "to be feared" and is used only for God. And my Expository Dictionary states: Fear as an emotion. OT uses of "fear" often indicate the all-too-familiar feeling of terror. Adam and Eve fled from God in the Garden of Eden, Adam later explaining, "I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked" (Ge 3:10). A basic cause of this emotion is awareness of vulnerability because of sin or because of the perceived power of another to do harm. The Hebrew people experienced such terror at Sinai (Dt 5:5), and Saul was gripped by fear when he saw the size of the massive Philistine army (1 Sa 28:5). The antidote for the emotion of fear is the conviction that God is for us and with us. God told Israel he would be with his covenant people. So Moses exhorted Israel, "Do not be faint-hearted or afraid; do not be terrified or give way to panic before them. For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory" (Dt 20:3-4). |

32 | What's the Greek word for homosexual? | 1 Cor 6:9 | Ric | 2713 | ||
1CO 6:9 ë ouk oidate hoti adikoi theou basileian ou klëronomësousin? më planasthe: oute pornoi oute eidölolatrai oute moichoi oute malakoi oute arsenokoit Here is the Greek N.T. verse 1 Cor. 6:9. As you see the last word is "arsenokoit". So yes, Paul did use that word in his letter to Corinth. Here's the Nave's refferance: HOMOSEXUAL [H3879, G780, G3434]. Sexual activity between members of the same sex is universally condemned in Scripture. Male homosexuality forbidden by law and punished by death (Lev 18:22; 20:13). Male and female homosexuality condemned (Ro 1:26). With other sexually immoral persons excluded from the kingdom of God (1Co 6:9-11). Sorry, that is all I can find in my books so far for you, I hope it helps some. In God's Grace, Ric |

Jeremiah 8:1 " At that time, declares the LORD, the bones of the kings and officials of Judah, the bones of the priests and prophets, and the bones of the people of Jerusalem will be removed from their graves. 2 They will be exposed to the sun and the moon and all the stars of the heavens, which they have loved and served and which they have followed and consulted and worshiped. They will not be gathered up or buried, but will be like refuse lying on the ground. 3 Wherever I banish them, all the survivors of this evil nation will prefer death to life, declares the LORD Almighty.

Abomination defined are activities that are offensive in a moral, religious, or even a natural sense of repulsion.
