Bible Note: The world today wants to think of Jesus as a man. They want to remember Him as a man. They expect more than likely to see Him in heaven as a man. Scriptures see Him as the Son of Man and the Son of God. They give Him honor by capitalizing His Name. Scriptures tell us that God is a Spirit. He is one Lord, one Spirit. Therefore, truly,truly, in order that you can understand scriptures, know Jesus as a Man,know Him as living Bread, know Him as the Rock, know Him as the Light of the world. So, yes, 1Cor 10:17 is speaking figuratively; so capitalize it. Give Him honor in remembering who He is and what He did for us on the cross. The two verses here have three Breads. I capitalize them. John 6:31-42 has seven Breads. I capitalize them and know His humanity as the Son of Joseph. John 6:48-58 has seven Breads. I capitalize them and know that He is the One who is from God. John 7:52, "Then the Jews began to argue with one another, saying, "How can this man give us His flesh to eat?" (Note the confusing capitalization) No we can't eat this man's flesh, but we can spiritualize it, honor it, and remember this Man. John 7:63, "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life. But there are some of you who do not believe." |
