Ecclesiology 201 Guidelines
Discussion on matters of general mainstream Christian churches. What are the differences between Catholics and protestants? How has the charismatic movement affected the church? Are Southern baptists different from fundamentalist baptists? It is also for discussions about the nature of the church.
This forum is primarily for Christians to discuss matters of Christian doctrine, and is not the area for debate between atheists (or those opposing orthodox Christianity) and theists. Inquiring atheists (or sincere seekers/doubters/unorthodox) seeking only Christian participation and having demonstrated a manner that does not seek to undermine the orthodox Christian faith of others are also welcome, but must seek Moderator permission first. When defining 'Christian' for purposes of this section, we mean persons holding to the core essentials of the historic Christian faith such as the Trinity, the Creatorship of God, the virgin birth, the bodily resurrection of Christ, the atonement, the future bodily return of Christ, the future bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, and the final judgment. Persons not holding to these core doctrines are welcome to participate in the Comparative Religions section without restriction, in Theology 201 as regards to the nature of God and salvation with limited restrictions, and in Christology for issues surrounding the person of Christ and the Trinity. Atheists are welcome to discuss and debate these issues in the Apologetics 301 forum without such restrictions. Additionally, there may be some topics that within the Moderator's discretion fall so outside the bounds of mainstream orthodox doctrine that may be more appropriately placed within Comparative Religions 101.

Originally posted by TimelessTheist View Post1) That's seriously the worst comparison I've ever heard. Plus, not to mention that Jesus reiterates that the Eucharist is "his flesh indeed", after his disciples were confused and questioned him about it. Tell me, why wouldn't he elaborate the metaphor to his disciples if they didn't understand it, but instead simply reiterate the supposed metaphor? He did so with the metaphor of the Pharisees and the leavened bread.
2) Yes, however, being a reminder of the Lord's Passover does not exclude transubstantiation in any way, shape, or form.
3) Yes. They are called heretical cults.
1. So if Jeremiah and Paul said "indeed" that would mean they weren't speaking metaphorically as well? Blood must be from a sacrifice but Christ hadn't yet died when He gave this message (John 6:48-58).
2. Why not?
3. Agree.Last edited by foudroyant; 05-28-2014, 12:00 AM.

Originally posted by 37818 View PostIt says it is fellowship of the blood of Christ and fellowship of the body of Christ, being that "For we [being] many are one bread, [and] one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread."

To me the claims of the "Real Presence in the Eucharist" is fake body and fake blood of Christ.
Do you think St Paul said that the cup of blessing that we bless is a sharing in the fake blood of Christ?
Or is the Eucharist a sharing in the real body and blood of Christ?
Or, is it neither real nor fake? Something else perhaps. A sharing in the symbols of the body and blood, perhaps? Do we share 'only in symbols' of his body and blood, but this is not a real sharing or participation in his person and sacrifice? Mere words? Form and not substance?אָכֵ֕ן אַתָּ֖ה אֵ֣ל מִסְתַּתֵּ֑ר אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃

The bread and cup are metaphor [symbols]. The fellowship with the body and blood of Christ is real. How else can I state it as I believe to be true?

Originally posted by 37818 View PostIt is a real sharing of the body and blood of Christ in the metaphor of the observance. As I point out via what is taught in v.17. Believers are partakers of the body and blood of Christ by faith prior to the observance. And the metaphor in which we share in the body and blood of Christ is the remembrance of it.

Originally posted by robrecht View PostIf you believe that the fellowship with the body and blood of Christ is real, then I think you believe in the real presence, mediated by faith in the symbol of the consecrated bread and wine. Yes?
The fellowship of the blood of Christ and the body of Christ is real and the presence is spiritual, not physical. The blood that by which the payment of death was made, was made on the cross (John 19:28; Hebrews 10:10) and finished there. The fellowship of the body and blood of Christ is purely a remembrance. All genuine believers make up that one body. And so the believers who fellowship through the Lord's table do so as a remembrance of that one event.. . . the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; . . . -- Romans 1:16 KJV

Originally posted by 37818 View PostNo. Not what I said. The spiritual presence of Christ in the believers who collectively bless the cup is real. Even as Christ is in them (Romans 8:9; 1 John 5:12; 1 Corinthians 10:17). The observance is a remembrance. The remembrance is of a finished work on the cross (John 19:28; Hebrews 10:10).אָכֵ֕ן אַתָּ֖ה אֵ֣ל מִסְתַּתֵּ֑ר אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃
