how could the rejection of that which represents christ, not be seen as a rejection of that which christ represents?
i can't find any biblical reference that would indicate that jesus wanted some of his teachings followed by only his apostles and some followed by the rest of his "flock" i can't accept the "well, you weren't there so jesus was not talking to you" arguement
i think thay will be asked to do little more then "simply watch the emblems pass by" here are a few things thay will also be asked to reject maby the more knowledgeable posters can add to the list the divinity of christ--------------- rejected jesus died for flesh and blood------- rejected jesus died on the cross-------------- rejected jesus is the way to the father------- rejected the act of communion with christ----- rejected the sacrifice of christ-------------- rejected ( in making it a ransom it is made into an extortion payment)
