    Communion - Symbolic or Real?

    I left them out because they are off topic. If you want to make a case by analogy then just say so and that's okay, you can pony up with your verses (as you did) and see how your view is received.

    Communion - Symbolic or Real?

    There's nothing rigid about taking what is said in the last supper dialogues at face value. There's nothing in those dialogues to imply that "this is my body" is symbolism unless one comes to those words with the pre-existing belief that they must be symbolic because the bread still looks like...

    You did not answer the questions that I asked. Josiah, what is the real presence in your belief? Is it a permanent state belonging to all bread & wine? Is it a state belonging only to consecrated bread & wine?

    Name calling (such as pot & kettle) is of no value and you ought to desist from it Josiah. Returning to the thread's topic and avoiding the diversion offered in your posts, Josiah, what is the real presence in your belief? Is it a permanent state belonging to all bread & wine? Is it a state...

    8 Ways to Deal With Difficult People

    Civility is a pleasant cloak over inner hostilities for many. Civil discourse is much to be preferred to uncivil tumult yet civility must be tempered by truth. Tact helps.

    Are you referring to John chapter six? Do you think that chapter is about communion? If you do then why did Jesus emphasise the words about eating his flesh and drinking his blood after the disciples (not the 12) made it clear that they disliked what he was saying? In the end they said "This...
