This is a blog of unique writings, mostly of which I have written. If I did not write it, I so state. My writings are original. I invented the term, or phrase, "'Private' Obama." and "Privadent." He does NOT know better than his Generals...

The fraud of Global Warming

When you say that "deniers need to be honest...," I know that global warming, per se, is bad science. You really believe I am dishonest because I know that global warming is not true? 

I study Mars. I am writing a book with the unique perspective of CAUSING globa warming on Mars. I won't give it away, but it's funny that on Mars you HAVE to actually CAUSE global warming in order to create human comfort zones; like on Earth.

But, what global warming "science" never takes into account are the complexities of Earth's self protections against any dangerous up or down temperature change. 

And sorry, Gore is way off. Bill Nye is way off. The Earth has so many stablizing protections against man-made "mistakes." As you can see, my discussion is nowhere near "dishonest." The label of "dishonest" does not provide safe discourse. Even Bill Nye is very nasty and he was a kid's favorite at one time. 

I am not a slug or dishonest or pathetic because I know that we are not in trouble with global warming. I study this stuff even to write about what is necessary to create liveability on Mars. My take on Mars is quite different from "The Martian" movie. I can get us there safely and I have created (relatively) an easy way to even re-supply. You would HAVE to re-supply. You can't “build” Mars w/o consistent re-supply. 

The planet Earth is so stable that even the many atomic explosions, both underground and atmospheric, could not and did NOT "damage" this planet. We are fine. Not even Hussein's use of gas against the Kurds and Iranians helped cause global warming. Not even Assad's constant use of gas against his own people and rebels created any warming or cooling. The great atmosphere of this planet is more than sufficient to absorb anything.

This planet is powerful in its core, magnetic fields, distance from the sun, tilt, wobble, orbit, duration; its seas, plus the Earth's dynamic relationship to the moon...I am not dishonest. There is simply no worrysome or dooming global warming.

Like "prophets" of doom such as John Hagee who try to tell us that Obama is our last president, global warming "prophets" are doing a great injustice to science and facts. You are not dishonest, as I am not. You are simply horribly mistaken.

Rather, we have really really bad uncivilized governments doing unspeakable things to their people...like Islam.  Global warming is not butchering people around the globe. Iran is. ISIS is. Assad is. And Obama is a dysfunctional Democratic Socialist who can't run this economy or government. He is an extremely poor CIC; and he is a serious racist. But even HE is not causing global warming with his worldwide ineptitude.

You can't mandate that global warming is true. And you can't mandate that we who don't believe there is global warming are dishonest.

Restructuring the Roman Catholic Church

A Small Treatise: // by Steve Hendel

"Restructuring the Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church..." 

What a daring thing to say. I only remember the Church
restructuring through Vatican II under Pope John XXIII in 1962; from its 4 constitutions, 9 decrees, 3 declarations, and other discussions of
Church...homosexuality and pedophilia were probably never brought up. There has never been a "Council" or "Vatican" to take on the issue of the sins and sin life-styles of priests, brothers, and nuns practicing homosexuality and pedophilia (by sins and sin life-styles, I refer to 1 Cor 6: 9-10. In this scripture, the context is Paul enumerating sin life-styles). The reason for this "oversight" is due to the fact that the Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church provides for a thriving, sinful nest of homosexuals and pedophile lifestyles. 

The very leadership of the Church practices, hides, and perpetuates these lifestyles. Again, what a daring thing to say. No one has ever called for this kind of restructuring before. Prior "Vaticans" and "Councils" have been for liturgy, Canon, heresies; but no "Vaticans" and "Councils" have been called for the matter of "sin" and "sin lifestyles" of its own clergy.

The restructuring I am calling for is not small; it is overwhelming. Restructuring in this case, in the case of the Church, is to separate the Church from its living and great sin. The restructuring is a repentance in itself (heh, a
sacrament!). There is no secret about the sin of the Church. The problem is in repenting for the sin; eradicating the sin. Name the sin.

The sins that the Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church must repent of and separate itself from are several: 1. Homosexuality; 2. Pedophilia; 3.
Denying both exist; 4. Hiding the sins and the sinful.

The solution to the Church's great sins? Restructuring. The restructuring I am talking about is foundation-shaking change. This foundation-shaking change is scriptural (again, I refer you to 1 Cor 6: 9-10). The following are vicious changes, yet are foundationally necessary. Also, I want you to think about this one statistic...there are over 800 religious orders in the Catholic Church. These over 800 religious orders are only part of the problem of the Catholic Church.

Most of the over 800 religious orders are... religious orders (not "civilian"). They do not go home to their wives and family at the end of the day. They go home to each other; men to men, women to women. Again, think about this number...there are over 800...religious orders in the Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church. You wonder why there is unchecked homosexuality and pedophilia?

The solution: (ominous sounding)!

1. All Brotherhoods and Societies (i.e.: Franciscan, Benedictine, Society of Jesus (Jesuits) must cease. They are similar to men's prisons in that they promote homosexuality. This includes the termination of the "institution" of all monasteries. Simply...no religious orders/brothers. The brothers/monks are to be sent HOME. The priests HAVE to be heterosexual, marry and become diocesan.

2. All convents and formation of novitiates must cease for the same reason. Their lifestyle is similar to that of women in prison and promotes homosexuality. Simply...no religious "sisters."

3. All homosexual; bisexual; transvestite...all non-HETEROsexual priests MUST be de-frocked immediately and sent home.

4. All pedophiles must be defrocked immediately and sent home and/or, if possible, turned over to authorities.

5. The Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church MUST end celibacy. The Church WAY over-reacted to Paul. Paul ONLY said, "I wish you could be celibate like me."

Jesus Himself chose men in various stations of life (none of which were homosexual or pedophile). The Catholic Church itself, paradoxically and ironically, teaches that Peter, a married man with children, was Jesus' choice (and therefore the Father's choice) among all the disciples for Pope. That we know of, there were only 2 married of the 12. Jesus had 10 single men to choose from for head of the Church. 

Please note: none of the 12 were practicing homosexuals; nor were any of the 12 practicing CELIBATE homosexuals; none of the 12 were pedophiles. That I can tell, THE major sin in the ranks of the disciples was doubt (Thomas).

6. Immediately (!!) recruit married men into the priesthood. I only include heterosexual men, and if married, married to one wife (scripture).

There are mainstream protestant churches which flaunt their distaste for Canon scripture, and have fully embraced lifestyle sexual sins. Mainstream protestant churches flaunt same-sex partners (men as wives, men as husbands; women as wives, women as husbands) in open, homosexual, pastoral/pastorate relationships. Their SYNODS allow same-sex marriage. The Roman Catholic Church has never truly flaunted homosexual relationships, or pedophile relationships. But the Catholic Church has actually "internally," supported both homosexual and pedophile relationships (lifestyles); this"handling" of serial, felonious, pedophile priests is from the "top down." 

This ultimate neglect of the "matter" by the top representatives of the Church is a serial catastrophe of sin, both against God, children, the Church, and the pedophile priests. I stated earlier that the over 800 religious orders of the Church was only a part of the problem.

The Catholic Church claims they do a background check on all individuals and investigate the character of hopeful seminarians. Yet, when an actual PRIEST is found to be a practicing homosexual or pedophile, the Holy Orders of the priest take precedence over his life-style sin or crime. Here, Apostolic Succession permits the sin life-style. If a hopeful candidate would not be admitted for these sound reasons, why would the Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church KEEP this felon? Protect him? Move him about to other parishes to greatly harm other children? Holy Orders is God-given (the Catholic Church claims, as with Paul to Timothy); yet, if Paul were here, of course Paul himself would turn him in.

Acts 5: 1-11 Ananias and Sophira dropped dead before Peter by the Holy Spirit HIMSELF because they simply LIED to the Holy Spirit about their finances. Ananias
and Sophira actually lied to the Holy Spirit and sinned against the Holy Spirit. Mind you...no one is without sin: guaranteed (1 John 8-10). But there is sin that should not be tolerated in the Catholic Church. Many other church synods have "modernized" scripture to the point that the homosexual lifestyle (1 Cor 6: 9-10) is corporate and acceptable behavior. To these other church synods, the homosexual lifestyle is no sin. Therefore, certain non-Roman Catholic Churches conduct themselves with same-sex married pastorates. They embrace this sin and call it holy marriage. I encourage Catholics to embrace
scripture and not let opinion override scripture. Presently, there is now no "traditional" Canon in many protestant sects. Good is now evil, and evil is now good. The complete and purposeful mistranslation of homosexual sin includes the "belief" that man is, by nature, bi-sexual, as (it is taught) are animals. There is no sin. Many gay organizations believe that Jesus was a homosexual and his partner was John, the disciple.

What occurred in the Catholic Church is the slow poisoning by the "Trojan horse" of celibacy. This slow poisoning by celibacy brought the ability to hide homosexuality, especially made easy in Societies and Brotherhoods and convents. Since the homosexuality of Catholic clergy is never outwardly flaunted, parishioners never know. No; parishioners only see their priests, brothers and nuns as people to be revered, respected and trusted. How many practicing homosexuals were elevated to sainthood...by other homosexuals...or at least beatified. 1 Cor 6: 9-10 states that homosexuals will not enter the Kingdom of God. Yet, the Catholic Church might have made them saints?

Mandatory (Canon) celibacy was simply a very bad decision...even to the promoting of spiritual sin into the temporal, legal world of the criminal: the pedophile and the lifestyle of pedophilia. It is true that as early as the Council of Nicaea in 325, the arguments for celibacy were waged. I admit I quote from the internet; that Paphnutius of Thebes, an unmarried man, testified that marriage, itself, was as honorable and chaste as celibacy, that, heh, "actual" cohabitation and intercourse with your wife was chaste. He therefore advised against framing such a law as it would be difficult to bear. Paphnutius knew that neither Jesus nor Paul commanded celibacy, but suggested celibacy because of persecution and deaths against Christians. Peter's wife was martyred. Again, neither Jesus nor Paul commanded celibacy. They urged it as a possibility, but there was no law. Jesus enacted only two laws: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and soul; the second was like the
first...love your neighbor as yourself.

Again, some protestant sects don't care about the traditional Canons; actual accepted Canon scripture. They care about the moderns, being seeker-sensitive and not sensitive anymore to the Holy Spirit, forsaking what is holy. The Catholic Church has not yet stepped over THAT line...of flaunting same-sex priest marriage. The Catholic Church's catastrophe is celibacy...having to do with heterosexuals...which many clergy and nuns are not. Celibacy has, therefore, nothing to do with them. Celibacy is an absolute Canon...yet, solely man-made. Neither Jesus nor Paul demanded celibacy. It is good that all men be as Jesus and Paul. Jesus and Paul yet BOTH stated that not all men can be celibate. They never once said that the priesthood is ONLY for celibates. Priests, therefore, do not have to be celibate. Priests CAN marry. Most men and women can't be celibate. It is time for the Catholic Church to dump the one-liner excuses which are used to terrorize the priesthood. Paul did say, "I wish you could be as I am." Paul also stated, "Marry so you don't burn." There was no celibacy requirement to
accept Jesus as Savior...nor to become a priest follower. WWJD? What would Jesus "did?" According to the Catholic Church, He chose a married Peter to be the first Pope. Jesus chose correctly. Later, the Church chose wrongly...and destroyed many a kid's life with perversion. It is highly possible that men who do not marry, and especially live together (as in a prison) are far more prone to homosexuality and pedophilia.

Holy Orders. Holy Orders are seen by the Catholic Church as sort of being on "auto-pilot." Even if a priest remains in Mortal Sin, when he celebrates the Mass, Transubstantiation takes place solely because of Holy Orders. It is the Office of the priesthood, not the condition of the celebrant's soul, which "conducts" Transubstantiation. I say "Nay, nay!" The Catholic Church's "translation" of Holy Orders is on the level of "once saved, always saved," and magic, so long as the priest has not been laicized. Paul says "Nay, nay, not true." Paul says not to pray for someone in the condition of certain kinds of sin, that they are given over to "anathematic" sin life-styles..."that they have tasted the fruit of the Spirit (Hebrews 6).

These include the lifestyle sins of homosexuality and pedophilia; pedophiles (their life-styles) are reprobate; Paul put Christians living in sin life-styles on their own before Christ, not to be united to the Body of Christ. When a reprobate "Christian" sins against the Holy Spirit, he sins against the very Body and Blood of Jesus, making the sacrifice of the Cross null and void for him. There is no more forgiveness. You are on your own before the Father to be rightfully accused by the Devil to the Father. You have no Savior.

It is my contention that the Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church...itself...is near to being reprobate before the Father. The Catholic Church is about to have no Savior. The Catholic Church cannot provide its own savior. The candlestick is about to be removed. 

The Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church MUST restructure to the heterosexual married priest.

The Universe as We Have NEVER Seen It

Can you see the universe as not being in a container? Nothing contains it. There is no "box." The universe has no "wall," no seam, no bottom, no top, no sides. There is no "end-to-end." There is no such thing as a beginning and an end.

Although the earth is hardly a speck, truly even the largest galaxie, or a system of galaxies, is hardly a speck in a universe that has no end. There is nothing so large it can "crowd." There is no crowding in the universe. Everything fits in because there is no such thing as "no room."

The earth being so small and the galaxies being so large...has no consequence in the universe that is endless.

The idea of a "parallel universe" is because we think there must be something else. The universe must end. So what else is there after the "border" of the universe? There is no "border," no sides, no end. That wipes out any idea of a parallel universe. It isn't that there's no room; it can't exist. The universe is endless. It is just endless. "Parallel" is just our weakness of not understanding "endless."

Still mindboggling, is the amazing "element" of "unique." All of the elements which we know of are unique. They are the same and unchanging in the endless universe. Everywhere in the universe, oxygen or helium is the same. The elements never change. Oxygen is not something else a billion light years from here on earth.

So, we have "unique." Each element is its own fingerprint, and even its own blueprint. It has its own structure and its own discipline of "being." Oxygen is not alive, it just is. How can something inert, without life, "be?" That is absolutely fascinating.

More fascinating are all of the elements, and those which are yet undiscovered. They are not life...not at all, yet they "are." The elements can't evolve to "life," yet, they "are." Everything you see is made up of the single, unique, elements. The stars that you see, any galaxies you see, are made up of these same, unchanging, unique, elements. They have absolutely no life, yet they exist: they "are." This is a "unique" wonder in itself.

Juan Williams Greater Fortune

I think what happened with Juan Williams is but a microcosm of what is going on in Obama's Administration, CNN, MSNBC, and all the rest of the uber-left-leaning, bigoted, intellectual "no-show" journalist wanna-be's who fire people over... "credibility." It is a fact that they also lost Glenn Beck (true), Geraldo (I can't figure why...he's ALWAYS left...but he would appear on Fox), Stossel, the liberal ladies who contribute on Fox, and probably a few others. The reason the left doesn't want Alan Colmes is because he simply isn't bright...but then neither is Rachel Maddow (dear God, No!) or Alec Baldwin (did you hear him on "Air America?" His mommy called in because he had a “no show” in callers. No one would call in!). Listen...Juan Williams isn't going back to NPR. He knows that Republicans believe in freedom of expression and he has a friend in us. He knows he can trust us. He knows what we really stand for. He even told Bill O’Reilly that he realized that O’Reilly is a “stand-up guy.” When you really believe in the Constitution, it shows. When you are a pathetic Socialist/Communist, and you still call yourself a journalist, it shows (you are a bigot, you are intolerant, you fire people for using and sharing common sense, and you want to indict Bush et al for responding to the attack on 9/11). People like Diane Rehm... who had guest after guest on her show calling for the heads of Bush's Administration...but never ONCE (ever) challenging terrorists, or al Jazeera; their wonderful methods of cutting peoples' heads off on their TV. People feel sorry for Ms. Rehm because of her voice. But she is intolerant as hell. I listen all day long to NPR just for the (free) education on the "left" they offer. To me...NPR IS the KKK of radio against Republicans, tea partiers, Conservatives, NRA, Christians...name it! I've heard Diane "go off" on tea partiers. Diane, because of people like YOU...Juan Williams now feels...black.

I know you have seen and heard it all before about gays being ordained (anywhere). The Catholic Church and the Lutherans are rife with homosexuals. See just below from 1st Corinthians:

This is from the KJV (These lifestyle sins are the same in the Catholic bible). (9) Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, (10) Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

I counted, at most, 4 out of 10 lifestyle sins that have to do with homosexuality and pedophilia. Any (continued) sex act with any person does not qualify as living the priestly vow of "chastity."

You either read and heed, or you don't. I guess I don't understand... a church VOTING as Lutherans do...when it comes to obeying even explicitly stated scriptures. How do you vote OUT scripture? You have chosen to have a smaller bible, with no sin attached to your behavior...and parade around as a church. You really don't care what Paul wrote (or whoever you think wrote Corinthians).

I see what the Catholic Church has done to itself. Personally, I believe the Catholic Church parish is nothing more than a "farm," a "front" for hiding homosexuals and pedophiles, and for permitting them to do whatever they want to do. Easy pickin's. To me, the Church (and I capitalize "church" lightly), lost the Holy Spirit a long time ago, especially since they move pedophiles around to protect them. They don't protect the kids because that isn't what the Church is all about. The real Catholic Church IS pedophile and homosexual...from the top down (there are some good guys). Parishioners don't know. They are too brainwashed to know that they are just "fodder" for any priest or brother with an... "inclination." Reminds me of the original movie or TV series years ago, "V." You know...after we humans had translated their "Operations Manual," it was found out..."It's a cookbook!" "It's a cookbook!" was parodied in the movie, "Madagascar."

I was a Catholic, and very lucky to NOT be..."bothered." I later accepted Jesus as my Savior at 22...from a Baptist of all things! Catholics don't have those kinds of altar calls. Priests I knew at that time didn't know what I was talking about. That said a lot. They weren't saved if they didn't know Jesus (remember what Jesus told Nicodemus. He wasn't saved just because he was...Nicodemus). You have to be born-again...and 1st Corinthians applies...as do others.

Even for Lutherans...if you can allow for homosexual partners to be ordained as priests...and you (heh) bless them...and if the Catholic Church allows for the pairing of "priest" homosexuals, and for pedophiles to have "open season" on kids...then I can have an affair with another woman with (heh) your blessing too. Who needs scripture...or the Lord...when I have YOUR okay...right?!

So, I guess being a Catholic...or a Lutheran...is the correct Church after all. Who knows what else I'll be allowed to do? Fun! It's just that all that talk about the elements becoming the Body and Blood of Jesus is just talk. It doesn't matter if it's called "transubstantiation," or "consubstantiation," or whatever "substantiation." The Holy Spirit "has left the building!" He's not putting up with all this. The Holy Spirit doesn't care about Apostolic succession. Holy Orders actually originated and presently originates from Him anyway. The Lord giveth...and the Lord taketh away! Priests have no Holy Orders. Lifestyle sinners aren't seeing the Kingdom of God anyway.

It's amazing for me to be considered a heretic by any church because I believe in what Corinthians says. I guess the bible...is a heretic also...as compared to what Catholics and Lutherans...practice. Poor Paul...what a heretic. I'll tell ya, you just can't trust the bible anymore. I guess this is one more reason why "sola scriptura" is wrong. You have to trust your "Church," and your..."priests," not scripture. After all, scripture is now considered "homophobic."

Personally, I am for tradition...real Apostolic tradition. I understand only Paul was unmarried. The Catholic Church decided to do only what Paul said to do in scripture and not see the "whole." See? Give a homosexual an inch...and he creates a whole false tradition for himself at the parishoner's expense. Homosexuals and pedophiles have reigned free for centuries now since priests were..."celebate." Sorry, there is no defense for the continued practice of the unmarried priest.

Jesus CHOSE married priests. What, you're going to call Jesus "homophobic?" Jesus had no fear of homosexuals. Jesus is God. He is not afraid of anyone. He took on the devil and secured your salvation with no problem...well, He only had to die for you.

All the rest of the apostles were married. Jesus had no problem with that. They were married about a thousand years before priests adopted...heh...celebacy. He personally chose them. There is even more tradition...the priests of the Jews were allowed to marry for all their centuries. Therefore, trust what Jesus did...not what the church falsely calls "tradition."

My Country

I support General McCrystal and our other generals. McCrystal asked for 40,000 troops quite early in the year. He was stonewalled by 'Private' Obama for months, which rather degraded our armed forces in the eyes of the world.

Then, the 'Private' finally decides he wants to send only 33,000 troops to Afghanistan...not 40,000.

This was another 'slight' to our troops and our generals, again, after months of waiting. The 'Private' did all he could do to discredit Karzai, calling him and the people of Afghanistan 'corrupt.'

The 'Private' said that this 'corruption' was why he could not see committing any more troops to Afghanistan. The Bush administration knew all along that Karzai was corrupt but worked with him anyway. The 'Private' acted like this 'knowledge' of corruption was new, and that he alone had found this out. Now, after calling Karzai 'corrupt' for months, and calling the people of Afghanistan 'corrupt' for months, he now expects their cooperation. Hmmm.

'Private' Obama and 'Cadet' Emanuel haven't got a clue to what they are doing. Even with the help of the phenomenal generals and admirals of our armed forces, they still don't have a clue. 'Private' Obama and 'Cadet' Emanuel have no learning curve in this area. They 'disassociate' (that's humor) when they hear the word 'war,' or 'fight.' These two are a very unique collection of corrupt politicos whose mission it is to bring 'liberation theology' to this country. Liberation theology is otherwise known as 'Socialism.' Socialism only breaks countries, undermining and emasculating our rich Constitution.

The unique thing about the United States is that we have the single greatest middle-class in the history of civilization, with the single greatest buying power in the history of civilization, and the 'Private' and his 'Cadet' are going to drain us (tax us) for everything we are worth. How long will it take the 'Private' and his 'liberation theology' thugs to cripple this country?

I DON'T support this President because he IS a dangerous, full-time Socialist, with no real regard that we were attacked on 9/11. But then, he is also a Muslim, as I personally have witnessed him say. Everyone else could have seen and heard him say the same thing, but you have to want to listen.

In all, he is out to emasculate the troops by his 'agreement' with fellow Muslims around the world, and he IS out to really CHANGE this country, because he said on TV that this country IS 'fundamentally flawed.' Goodbye, Constitution. He meant that our CONSTITUTION is fundamentally flawed. He started by belittling 'enemy combatant' status, and giving them our same civil rights, something unheard of in our history. You recall Senator Lyndsey Graham embarrassing Attorney General Eric Holder with that fact.

At any rate, think what you want. I am a former Marine. I think the armed forces should band together over there and commandeer any transportation they can find and come home on their own... as a show of 'no confidence' in 'Private' Obama. At our base, our families and our country are all we have. I especially want to keep our country.

No wisdom is deeper than a relationship with God.

The Catholic Church calls it communion. The 'host' is consecrated and transsubstantiated into the body and blood of Jesus. We eat the host to have life within us. That is communion.

The real truth of communion is more in line with what Jesus told Nicodemus in their private session. You have to be born-again. Jesus said that. When you receive Jesus as Savior, and ask him into your life, you eat of his flesh and drink of his blood. Jesus was referring to what the priest does with the sacrificed lamb. He is the final sacrifice, the final lamb offering.

We can't physically eat Jesus' body, and we can't physically drink Jesus' blood. The action of our faith in obedience to receiving Jesus as our Savior ... IS the consummation of the Lord on our part.

The part that Jesus plays is HIS act of coming into our lives in such a way that we can actually feel him, and our knowledge of him is changed. We somehow KNOW He is Lord now. We consume Him by our faith, and He comes into our life ... communion. You need the ritual to do the faith act of consummation. The 'trans-substantiation' isn't in the wafer or the wine or grape juice; it is in your own body.

As I trust (even a small amount of trust) God, and receive Jesus by faith inside my life, I am born-again. It is HE who lives in me ... He is not in the wafer. The liturgy is of our body. We act out life. We are the ones who are 'trans-substantiated" (we are made a new creature in Christ). No wisdom is deeper than a relationship with Jesus. I become a temple to the Lord as I accept HIS original sacrifice IN ME. He suffered, died and rose to be in me (and you).

The lamb, at one time, died for sin. The lamb was a sign of atonement. But there was no resurrection of this lamb. There could be no transformation for the "masses." The lamb was only an impersonal, vicarious sign of forgiveness, because only the priest took part in the actual lamb ritual. There was no "life" consummation other than by the priest. An impersonal sign of forgiveness was never enough. The Lord knew that. The Lord knew that He had to truly tend to each one of us. God Himself had to come in the flesh to (yes) die for us - not die time and time again (over and over). He couldn't. So, He died once, but under the faith stipulation of consummation.

We eat his body and drink his blood as once the high priest did with the lamb, but with faith. We eat Him by faith. How does He get us to eat Him as the priest ate the lamb sacrifice? By making us all priests and altars at the same time. He became a lamb but he did not walk on 'all fours.' We became priests and altars, but we aren't Levites and we aren't made of wood (the altar). We became priests by accepting him into our lives (consuming Him by faith), being born-again; we become altars by permitting Him to die for us 'right there,' presently in our lives, on the 'table' of our body, our own life.

We eat in a new way, as did the disciples and the Samaritan woman at the well. The disciples were not cannibles. They didn't start eating His actual body, not even at the last supper. When Jesus said, "If you don't eat of my body and drink of my blood, you can have no part of me," he obviously wasn't referring to His physical body. Nor did the disciples start cutting Him up and eating Him alive. Rather, our FAITH becomes a powerful consuming act. We eat His flesh and drink His blood by our consuming act of FAITH. Our faith is THAT great and powerful. Our faith eats His life. Our faith is created in His image and likeness. He then lives in us because of our faith.

THAT ... is born-again communion!
