***..VERY TOUCHING COMMON GROUND BEWARE..*** I personally thought this (A piece concerning certain positive practical aspects of a wife improving or maintaining her relationship with her husband) was kind of beautiful, encouraging and helpful on Facebook by a relative of mine). It's just like in this Protestant and Catholic debate. We would, I think, do well to work more on our common uplifting (Philip. 4:4-9), most key aspects of the faith (Eph. 2:4-5:21): such as our need to ingest and embrace the Teachings of Christ, His Intimate Kiss, His moment by moment guidance, His written Word, His Family, His Cross, His work and power (Eph. 3:14-19), individually and corporately (Rev. 2:1-3:22).
~~~
***..DEBILITATING DIFFERENCES NEED TOUCHING..*** Sure, the various differences of the various churches are to one degree or another important and at times rather significant and even critical and debilitating and need to be dealt with (John 4:1-15) on a case by case basis with the love of Christ (1 Cor. 13:1-8) and according to His timing (John 16:12-17).
~~~
***..EATING & DRINKING JESUS..*** For example: Eating the Body of Christ and Drinking His Blood is a most important teaching and principle of the faith (John 6:26-59). One group, in my mind seems to turn it into no more than a commemoratory kind of ceremony, which removes almost all of it's real power and meaning and life.
While the other group seems to me to almost turn the mandated ceremony into something akin to swallowing a magic pill (Gal. 5:1-25) and viola I've now got God's power inside of me, in fact Jesus Himself.
~~~
***..BOTH VIEWS ARE DESTRUCTIVE..*** Both views do a grave, Christian killing disservice to the Body of Christ (2 Pet. 3:9-18) and to each and every individual believer, who subscribes and lives by such views (Rom. 16:17-18).
~~~
***..WHAT'S REALLY NEEDED..*** What's really needed, when we think of Eating and Drinking Jesus, is not just a simple commemoration, not just some magic charm, but a complete embrace of Christ (John 3:1-8), His teachings, His personal ongoing hugs, His kisses (S. of S. 1:1-8), His guidance (Isaiah 30:1-26), His Cross (Rom. 6:5), His Church (Eph. 4:3-16, fellow disciples), His work (Philip. 3:17-21), and His Word and principles (2 Tim. 3:15-17), to the extent that we have life (Rom. 8:1-17), peace (Gal. 5:18-23), fruitfulness, God's kisses, oneness (1 Cor. 6:17) and so forth.
~~~
***..WHAT WE DO NOT NEED..*** Just a bunch of religious activity, minus the real power, the true life, Jesus Himself!
(2 Tim. 3:1-5; Heb. 5:11-6:3; John 14:1-15:10)
