    Goes to show how far removed from the voting public the USA presidents have become. Is it similar for the Congressmen and Senators?

    Yes, Adolph Hitler's party was elected in some senses and the results were tragic yet I wonder what those events say about God and humanity.

    Some economists here (in Australia) say that USA salary and wages have been essentially stagnant for at least a couple of decades (except for a few in-high-demand occupations) while in Australia our 'real wages' (mean wages after inflation is taken into account) has increased quite a lot. I...

    I know this may sound pious and a little trite but do not place your hope (or trust) in party nominees and presidents. Place your hope in God both for this world and the next.

    Yeshua, the Unleavened Bread...

    Leaven is used as a metaphor for the Kingdom of Heaven. He told them still another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into a large amount of flour until it worked all through the dough." (Matthew 13:33)

    I wonder if electing a candidate (for the republicans) who isn't fabulously rich is even possible now? It seems that the default headline for republican nominees is "Republicans elect Rich Dude as presidential nominee" and that can't be good for a party that wants to appeal to enough people to...

    Communion - Symbolic or Real?

    Why is it worldly (temporal you said) to accept what Jesus said at face value? Why is it worldly to believe "Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye have not life in yourselves"? What do you mean by spiritual in relation to "Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man...

    Communion - Symbolic or Real?

    It looks like you're arguing for the sake of it since the passage defines the meaning this way "But be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees. Then they understood that he was not telling them to guard against the yeast used in bread, but against the teaching of the...

    Communion - Symbolic or Real?

    It appears that you've overworked the words of the Lord because you want to make something out of both the yeast and the bread yet the holy scriptures speak only of the yeast as significant and define the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees as the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

    Communion - Symbolic or Real?

    I can't help but think that your choice of analogy is a mistake. Jesus did say ""Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees" yet he did not say "the leaven is for making a loaf of bread". The passage reads thus: Be careful, Jesus said to them. "Be on your guard against...

    Slain in the spirit

    The alternatives you offer suffer from the same faults as the original "you can't receive what you don't believe" because atheists who receive grace do not choose to receive it (though they may reject the faith once it is presented to them). And I do not think that the rain and sunshine that God...

    Communion - Symbolic or Real?

    What does 'spiritual' mean? Is it a synonym for 'metaphorical'? Is that what you mean when you say "and we know he speaks of spiritual things and not carnal" after I quoted Jesus saying "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye have not...

    Slain in the spirit

    The thread travelled from 'slain in the spirit' to 'saved by grace' by the road created with the claim "you can't receive what you don't believe". What happened is that one person wrote "you can't receive what you don't believe" implying that if you don't believe in being slain in the spirit...

    Communion - Symbolic or Real?

    Why can't we eat the Lord. Jesus said "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye have not life in yourselves." (John 6:53)

    Communion - Symbolic or Real?

    Yes, it was unleavened bread according to Matthew, Mark, and Luke but John doesn't mention that it is unleavened. So why is that relevant? Jesus said "take eat, this is my body" why do you say that the words of the Lord are symbolic? Is the bread not his body?

    Christians taking communion in other churches

    There is no command to receive communion in the holy scriptures as far as I am aware, do you think that there is and if so where is it? You said "Communion is between you and the Lord not between you and the church and it is the right of every believing christian in fact it is a duty." I just...
