Another biblical contradiction |
I was just wondering, do Xians consider both the old and new testaments to
be valid? If so there is a major contradiction. The old testament says not
to consume blood. Yet in the NT, Jesus tells his disciples to eat his flesh
and drink his blood. This tradition survives today as the Eucharist. The
Xians believe that the bread and wine becomes the body and blood of Jesus.
Therefore, in their minds, they are disobeying the OT.

Yet Christ made wine out of water.

You can only understand Christianity if
God the Father allows you to understand Christianity.
And you can fly if you have pixie dust.
Don't feel bad most
self-proclaimed Christians don't understand the Gospel.
Okay, I don't feel bad.

Ah, yes, the MMBS. Magical Mystery ***** Story.
You can only understand
Christianity if God the Father allows you to understand Christianity.
IOW, you must first remove your brain's power of reason. A few sessions
with the Spanish Inquisition used to work just fine.

it defunct. But that would mean they don't have to follow God's Ten
Commandments, and they no longer believe in Original Sin, which makes Jesus
unnecessary.

That would explain the long shelf life <g>.
