Would God really send a guy who says "Except ye eat my flesh."?

Answer 1

I think it's supposed to be symbolic, I doubt blood drinking, flesh eating zombies was pert of the plan.



Edit: pert, pert, I meant part !!! Bit Freudian, hmmmm pert?

Answer 2

That statement is so anti-judaism that it can't possibly have been an actual statement of a law-abiding, Passover-observant Jew. It HAS to be an insert into the gospels.

This statement negates the teachings of the Torah regarding human sacrifice, eating of unclean flesh and the statement that the Law that supports these is forever.

Anyone who thinks this statement is "figurative" and therefore should be somehow acceptable to all reasonable believers should work on finding anything that could possibly be akin to its "figurativeness" in the rest of Hebraic scripture.

Answer 3

Somewhere in the Bible God says that those who think they are wise are mere foolishness to him. To eat the flesh of Jesus is to walk with Him daily in your life. And to drink of His blood is to know that He died for the sins of all. And that He now lives for all. Communion at the Altar is only in memory of Him, and what he has done, with others who also commune with Him daily in their lives....John 6:63 It is the Spirit that quickeneth, the flesh profitith nothing: the words that I speak to you they are spirit and they are life...... If you notice in this verse, He says, " the flesh profitith nothing."....John4:24 God is a Spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and truth..... To worship Jesus/God is to worship in spirit, so to eat His body and drink His blood must be a spiritual commune with God. But we can still fellowship at the Altar, with one another by eating bread and drinking the cup in memory of our Lord. John 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship Him........Send a guy where?? He doesn't send, He draws......John 12:23 I, if I be lifted up from the earth will draw all unto me..... In the greek dictionary draw means "to drag". Check it out yourself.

Answer 4

God would and God did and His name is Jesus the Christ. And to Him every knee will bow and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. In the presence of God you only stand if you are allowed to stand and given the strength to stand.

Eating His flesh means suffering as Jesus suffered. Jesus said that He was hated and we will be hated also. Haven't you noticed how Christians are hated on this forum?

Jesus came the first time as a humble servant to go to the cross of Calvary for my sins and your sins. No one but Jesus could do this for me. He rode into Jerusalem on a donkey's colt with some shouting and some ridiculing. Jesus will come this next time riding a great white stallion with the army of God following Him with all authority in heaven and on the earth given to Him by God the Father. One word out of His mouth and all created beings whether human or angel will listen and obey.

Answer 5

Uh, no. Nothing like a human sacrifice for sin actually exists, or has ever existed, in the Jewish prophecies for the real messiah. Christianity's story of Jesus is taken directly from ancient pagan religions where the "saviour" figure served as a sacrifice to the gods for forgiveness for sin, went to the underworld for 3 days, rose again, renewed life for all, then his flesh is eaten and his blood drunk in order that his followers attain his characteristics and "holiness". Then he ascends and his followers worship him forever.

This story is more common than mud, in these old ancient pagan religions. Born from a god and a human virgin female, born in a cave or other humble dwelling, astounds the elders in the house of worship, etc. etc. etc.

It's the same old story, over and over and over again in these ancient pagan religions, and THIS is the foundation of Christianity. Not Judaism. It is a lie that the church teaches that Christians believe the same thing as Jews except for Jews somehow "missed" their messiah.

Yeah, right. The Jews "missed" the ancient pagan stories, tossed them right out the window, unlike Christianity which embraced them, and used them to REPLACE everything, including the prophecies about the Messiah that does come from Judaism.

Christianity and Judaism literally have nothing in common in their doctrines or foundational beliefs whatsoever. Jews know this, but Christians do not because they are lied to from the time they are children, by their churches and those who have been brought up in them.

The previous religions to Christianity with the same "saviour" stories, almost word for word, as the story of Jesus - there are many more, but here are just a couple of examples:

Why Jesus's personality wasn't up to par for meeting the criteria for "Messiah", besides the fact that he didn't fulfill the actual prophecies given on Mt. Sinai (16 or so, not the hundreds that the church invented). There is no such concept as a "second coming" in Judaism, never has been.

Answer 6

He'll send whoever will go...but you know that he was talking figuratively about the bread at the passover :-)

Answer 7

Rather than take a phrase from the Bible and twist it out of context, try reading the entire passage in which it was written.

Your question is more of an attack on Christians and Christianity, than an open discussion. ;-)

Answer 8

isn't that funny -- all the flesh-eating and blood-drinking that xians do? all their cannibalism is really weird and creepy! what a strange cult!!!

Answer 9

if everything is God, then everything i eat is God's 'flesh', come to think of it.

Answer 10

The Jewish god wouldn't, but pagan gods of the time period would.
