blackbird Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 4 hours ago, Yakuda said: People have erroneously interpreted that for over 500 years so what? And Jesus says unless you eat (in the Greek the word used is "gnaw") my flesh you will not have life in you. Ignatius of Antioch a disciple of the apostle John says the Eucharist is the flesh of Jesus. Now I can believe Jesus and a disciple of John the apostle or I can believe to random people on the Internet. No offense but you dont speak with any more authority that Jesus or Ignatius. Cannibalism is a condemned by the Bible because it is human flesh and blood. Therefore that cannot be the correct interpretation on that basis alone. "Cannibalism is mentioned in the Bible. Although there is no direct statement such as, “Thou shalt not eat human flesh,” the obvious indication from Scripture is that cannibalism is a terrible evil. After the global flood, God gave Noah permission to eat meat. "Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything” (Genesis 9:3). However, God specifies that the “food for you” does not include fellow human beings. People are treated much differently from animals: “Whoever sheds human blood, by humans shall their blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made mankind” (Genesis 9:6). Cannibalism is mentioned several times in Scripture (Leviticus 26:29; Deuteronomy 28:53-57; Jeremiah 19:9; Lamentations 2:20; 4:10; Ezekiel 5:10), but in each case, the practice is regarded as a horrible curse and inhuman act of desperation. Moses and other prophets predicted that, if the Israelites forsook God, they would fall into such awful degradation as to cannibalize their own children. These harrowing prophecies were fulfilled during the siege of Samaria during the reign of King Jehoram (2 Kings 6:28-29). Cannibalism was the physical horror which accompanied the spiritual horror of apostasy. Cannibalism has been ritualized in some pagan cultures as part of a religious ceremony or cultural superstition. Thus, not only is the act itself wrong, but also the reason behind the act is wrong. For example, some people groups would eat the flesh of dead family members, believing that doing so would allow the spirits of those who had died to live on. Such cannibalistic rites have no biblical justification. The Bible teaches that the spirit does not remain in the body, nor does it wander around at liberty. A spirit either goes to be with the Lord immediately upon death (2 Corinthians 5:8) or goes to hades to be kept until the judgment (Luke 16:19-26; Revelation 20:11-15).

Yes I did and Johns disciple Ignatius I believe the Scriptures are infallible. I don't believe my interpretation is infallible. True. Also true and why I don't feel compelled to accept your interpretation Is your interpretation infallible? What I've shared isnt my interpretation. Is Ignatius' interpretation infallible? Well I wouldn't call it infallible but it's much closer to the truth as he was a disciple of an Apostle. His word holds far more weight than your interpretation of mine. I merely repeat what he wrote. Do you believe the Holy Scriptures are infallible? There are no mistakes in Scripture so yes Is the Pope's interpretation infallible? If he speaks ex cathedra yes. Do you happen to know how many times the pope has spoken infallibly in 2000+ years? Is the Catholic Church's teaching in the catechism infallible? Yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Useful for teaching NOT the final authority. That's what you believe NOT what it says. Jesus gave authority to Peter and the apostles their word is worthy of belief yours isn't You can examine it all you like but you will need to convince me why i should believe you over the teachings of a church created by Jesus himself.

I am not saying you should believe me over the teachings of anything. I gave you several verses to show whatever is taught or claimed about spiritual matters must be in accordance with the Bible. You mentioned John 16 which speaks about the Holy Spirit. I was just starting to look into it and remembered the warning in Revelation ch20. The last few verses of the Bible say: "18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. " Rev. 22:18 This clearly says nobody can add to what God has said in this book or take away from the words in the book. So that means the Bible was completed. Nobody can say they are speaking for God infallibly once the Bible was completed. There were no more written Biblical revelations after the Apostolic age. Some churches have people who claim they have a revelation from God such as in the charismatic movement (Penticostals for example). But they are wrong. When one tries to say they are speaking a message from God that is unbiblical and trying to add or take away from what God has already said in the Bible.

I am a simple believer in Jesus Christ and his word, the Holy Bible. It is between you and God to sort out what you believe. I have tried, but you seem pretty close-minded. I give you verses but you just dismiss them. I don't see much more I can do at this moment in time. Maybe later I might have something to say, but I must bow out. We are just going around in circles I think. Will let it go for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
