Subject: Verses where water alone means baptism? |
Bible Note: Emmaus, I see. So just as Jesus was sacramentally present in material flesh, He is present in consecrated things -- bread, wine, water -- and is active within them and through them. I see better why Catholics read the Bread of Life Discourse in John 6 literally; however, because Jesus also says "Do this in remembrance of Me..." at the last supper, is it also biblically possible that He meant us to understand the bread as symbolic of His flesh?
