Answer 3

Those who lean unto there own understanding of scripture are leading others astray and blinded by their "pride!" But this has to occur for the Kingdom of God is coming to this earth and establish His way as the only way.

Pride is man's downfall. The End of the circle of man's self rule will be the beginning of Christ's Kingdom but that "pride" must be broken first!

Answer 4

The simple answer is that Christ's risen and gloriously transformed flesh and blood is not dead human remains, but true food and true drink, of supernatural design.

Living. Not dead.

So much for cannibalism.

Answer 5

Mmmmm, flesh. I suppose its really a contradiction if they look down up Cannibalism yet participate it in a weekly ritual.

Answer 6

'Eating the body of Christ' and not His flesh, not His carnal flesh, is symbolic of His death at the cross and His blood that cleanses us from all sin.
We who believe in God and know that Jesus is the Saviour of the world, the Messiah, and that He gave His life on the cross for us, partake in the bread and wine that symbolise His flesh that was bruised, hurt, wounded on the cross and His blood that was shed.
Cannibalism is eating physically another human being and God did not create humans to eat fellow humans.

Answer 7

Not everything in the Bible is "literal"
This means to take in knowledge of Jesus and of his Father in heaven, Jehovah God..
It must also be kept in mind that when the scriptures were written, there were other pagan religions and other practices, that people of those times were aware of.
And some of them DID practice the eating of parts of an enemy to gain their strength. even to the drinking of their blood. resulting in god's ver specific direction to..."abstain from blood"
(ACTS 15:20) “but to write them to abstain from things polluted by idols and from fornication and from what is strangled and from blood.”

(ACTS 15:29) “to keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication. If YOU carefully keep yourselves from these things, YOU will prosper. Good health to YOU!””

Answer 8

They love their contradictions

Answer 9
