Jesus question: Correct me if I'm wrong, okay?

Question

But when Jesus said "Except ye eat my flesh." it was his subtle way of calling them maggots, but they didn't get it -- consequently church folks have a whole big holy ritual surrounding that ad lib facetious remark.

This has been my conclusion as I studied the whole scenario as it was recorded by Jesus' official biographers, but if I'm mistaken could you please explain?

The biggest difficulty is this: why would God spend hundreds of years preparing his chosen people for the coming of the messiah, only to have him conclude his ministry by talking about people eating his flesh?

I challenge you to show me anywhere in the Biblical prophecies, that the topic of eating the messiah's flesh would come up.

I thank you in advance for your replies (and no, I'm not Jewish).

Answer 1

Let us suppose that you want to get to the truth about Jesus, etc etc.
Well, you are looking at the wrong text - for that. The Christian Bible (any version) is hardly original and authentic, etc etc.
You have only to look at the text itself, and the organisations, etc etc that had made use of that text --- what did they achieve?

Anyway you should read 'The Talmud Jmmanuel' text and look up that same passage (if it is there?) in said text.
It may not be in it? at all ....
However if it was? the last supper you were referring to? Then here is the TJ version...

The Last Supper
34. On the first day of the Unleavened Bread, Jmmanuel spoke to his disciples, "Go forth
into the city to a good friend of mine named Aaron and tell him, 'Jmmanuel says to
you: I want to have a last meal with my disciples at your house, for behold, the Feast
of the Passover is near."'
35. And the disciples did as Jmmanuel had ordered them; and they prepared the meal, together
with Aaron and his wife, in their house.
36. When they sat down and were eating, he said, "Behold, the time is near when I must take
my heavy burden upon myself.
37. "To be sure, I am going along my destined path as it is written by the prophets; however,
I will only be near death and bear much pain, so you must not fear and not worry about
me.
38. "Truly, I say to you, from now on I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vineyard nor
eat the grain of the bread until the day I drink and eat again with you after my ordeal.
39. "So shall it be when I have risen from near death and so have then lain in the tomb for
three days and three nights.”
40. As they were eating, Jmmanuel took the bread, broke it and gave it to the disciples,
saying, "Take it and eat; the body requires nourishment even in times of distress and
grief."
41. And he took the cup, gave it to them and said, "Drink from this cup, all of you; the
throat becomes thirsty even on a rainy and cold day:
42. "Truly, I say to you, a wise person does not hunger and thirst because of things that
must happen.
43. "But a fool hungers and thirsts on account of stupidity and dissent against things that
must happen.
44. "And truly, I say to you, just as you do not understand my words now and are angry with
me because of them, so will you be angry with me tonight, because your minds still have
not been enlightened with cognizance.
45. "But after I rise from near death and appear to have risen from the dead out of the tomb,
I shall walk in front of you to Galilee, so you may recognize the truthfulness of my
words.
46. "I have taught you knowledge and truth, but yet you doubt and distrust me.
47. "Oh you who are fainthearted and of little trust, how startled and confused you will be
when I meet you again after my near death."
48. But Peter answered him, saying, "Even if they all were angry with you, I would never be
angry."
49. Jmmanuel however replied, "Truly, I say to you, you are one of the worst, because
tonight before the rooster crows you will deny me three times."
50. But Peter contradicted him, saying, "This will never come to pass, and even if I were
forced to die with you, I would never deny you."
51. And thus spoke all of his disciples, and so they failed to trust Jmmanuel's words.

Answer 2

a minimum of your examining the bible, study Mark lower back verse 26 which isn't lawful to consume yet for the clergymen , subsequently the plural demanding , it replaced into not uncommon in those days, for fathers an sons to the two be clergymen, Abiathar replaced into the grandson of Ahimelech study 1Samual and you will see Ahitub replaced into the daddy of Abiathar 3 generations have been serving God as clergymen Jesus did not go incorrect,he purely regarded the priest that, have been given away and warned David of what Saul had finished,Levis have been the only clergymen seeing how that is how that is often been, considering that Moses , & Aaron have been Levis ; in basic terms Levis have been to be clergymen, it replaced right into a relatives factor, an a covenant with God ,

Answer 3

ever heard of symbolism? figurative speech? i have a feeling you know exactly what it meant, but wanted to pose a question that would stir up Christians. it didn't work. not with this Christian, any way.

Answer 4

Starting with old testament prophacy. It never prophacised Jesus, but in fact his brother James .. "the Just One"... " led like a lamb to the slaughter"
There is no manuscrpt record of jesus ever claiming to be god or suggesting that any should eat his body. That doesn`t appear until after the amalgamation of the church of venus 312 AD apx
It`s just more rubish added to the book in the name of god for the benefit of man..!!

Answer 5

This has reference to the Lords supper. Something that Jesus set up before his death Matt. 26:26-29, Mark 14:22-25, & Luke 22:15-20.

Please read 1 Cor. 11:23-34.

Answer 6

It may have been a way to say, "let my flesh be yours". Perhaps he was saying that because he knew he was going to die and he wanted his disciples to carry on as he would.

I'm not very well versed in the bible, but thats my thought.

Answer 7

Jesus did not ad lib facetious remarks.

He was deadly serious with everything He said.

But He did not mean to eat his body as we would eat a steak; but to accept Him, body and blood, into our lives.
You have to understand that body and bread are synonymous, and blood and life are also synonymous.

Jesus is the BREAD of LIFE.

Answer 8

Wow, your conclusion is terrible.

The Jews were familiar with "eating and drinking" being used figuratively in the Old Testament to describe the appropriation of divine blessings to one's innermost being. It was God's way of providing spiritual nourishment for the soul. (See Jeremiah 15:16; Isaiah 55:1-3; and Ezekiel 2:8, 3:1)

Answer 9

The eating of flesh and drinking of the blood was symbolic that he would be a part of us.

Answer 10

No. Jesus knew He would give up HIS life as a sacrifice to us. Eatting the sacrifice is completing the sacrifice.
