Bible Note: Are you a visiting rationalist? How can it be impossible for anyone to eat the flesh of the Lord and drink His blood. God does what he pleases. Consider, 1Co 11:27 Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord. If the bread and wine are only symbolic how can eating it unworthily PROFANE the body and blood of the Lord? Justin the Martyr and indeed other martyrs of the period clearly taught this (as does scripture). Are the Christian martyrs, the seed of the Church, false teachers? Regards Dalcent |
