UGH! SERIOUSLY TYT ?! SERIOUSLY ?!

^"22 Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. ²³ For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body. ²⁴ But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything.²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her,"-Eph 5:22-25

 Do I REALLY have to jump down the throat of The Young Turks Today ? I believe I do. WHY because sometimes it just gives me a MAJOR headache when Non-Believers make attempts to put words in the mouth of The Bible from Christians and reapply them to mean something COMPLETELY different. Before I go on, I'd like to say that I don't care about Michelle Bachman at all. I'm a Christian (obviously) and Moderately Conservative and I wouldn't vote for her with a gun to my head. Just so we're clear.

Ana's interuptation of "Submissive" IS NOT what The Bible is saying. God does NOT want Women to be brainless servants with NO personality, NO say in anything, ect. ect. If Ana and Michael had ACTUALLY do research on the context of the text they'd see what I posted above.

"Husbands love your wives, AS CHRIST LOVED THE CHURCH, HE GAVE HIMSELF UP FOR HER!"
Eph 5:25

Does that sound like a "GO MAKE ME A SANDWICH!" type situation ? The submission expressed in the text implies a mutual submission. As made further in Eph 5:28;

^"28 So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself"

That just said. LOVE YOUR WIFE AS YOUR OWN BODY! Does that sound like a BAD submissive relationship?  No, rather The Bible is telling Wives to submit to their Husband's authority. Not in a "ANYTHING HE SAYS GOES SENSE!" but as sign of respect. That is the man you chose to be Your Husband therefore you should listen to him. IF The Husband does love you as he loves his own body, he's going to want your input and your suggestions on things. THIS IS NOT AN EXCUSE TO TELL WOMEN THAT THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITHOUT THEIR HUSBAND'S PERMISSION! If my girlfriend (hopefully wife, eventually) asked me for permission to do something I'd be confused and ask her "Why are you asking me ?" Granted, she'd never ask me because she knows that I respect her decisions and choices and vice versa.

From Ana's question I'm assuming that NOT ONCE did she even bother to read the rest of the verse Bachman quoted but instead used Bachman as a reference thinking that That's probably what the text is mandating. Michael however AT LEAST says that there are varying degrees of submission BUT STILL WHY CAN'T THEY ADDRESS THE REST OF THE TEXT?! The UNFORTUNATE thing is that by the end of this video they once again BLAME RELIGION and NOT their lack of Biblical Context, Reading Comprehension and Research Ability. And to make matter worse...people feed into this crap. *sigh* And people say that Christians are the dominate force in America ? Yeah...right.

THANK GOD, at least ONE BEACON OF HOPE HERE!

Think About Communion....REFUTED !

Proof #29 - Think about Communion

Because Christians have been participating in the communion rite for many years, they tend to forget just how bizarre this ritual is. The whole idea of "eating Jesus' body" and "drinking his blood" is grotesque in the extreme.

Have you ever wondered where this ritual came from, or why billions of people would participate in a ritual that is this bizarre? First, let's look at the part of the Bible that prescribes the ritual. You find it in Mark, Chapter 14:

And as they were eating, he took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them, and said, "Take; this is my body." And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, and they all drank of it. And he said to them, "This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.

There are a few lines in Luke chapter 22 that are nearly identical.

Jesus gets far more graphic, however, in John chapter 6:53-55:

So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

To any normal person, this sounds very much like the script of a gruesome horror film. It sounds like some sort of revolting satanic ritual. It definitely does not sound like the words of the all-loving creator of the universe.

Imagine that you are a normal person, and you have never been exposed to Christianity before. Now imagine that a Christian comes up to you and quotes John 6:53. Any normal adult would rightfully assume the Christian to be insane. Thus, you never see a bumper sticker that says "John 6:53."

However, the assumption is accurate. The dictionary describes cannibalism in the following way:

The usually ritualistic eating of human flesh by a human being

What Jesus is demanding is cannibalism.

What does your common sense tell you about all of this? What we are talking about here is cannibalism, and what Christians are doing looks exactly like a pagan/satanic ritual. If you are a Christian, the two questions you may be asking yourself right now are:

1. Why in the world am I, as a sane individual, participating in ritualistic cannibalism? How in the world did I stoop to this point?
Why would an all-powerful, all-loving God demand that I do this? What sort of God am I worshipping?

Okay, the only reason I’m entertaining this argument here is to show the author of this article how stupid he sounds and how He obviously does not understand what it is he’s trying to refute. Other than that I really wouldn’t waste the time. So his basic argument is that communion is grotesque and a form of cannibalism. M’kay. Many Catholics believe in Transubstantiation, which is basically a fancy way of saying that during the communion process the cracker and juice actually does transform into Jesus’s blood and body. I don’t believe that. Because that to me indeed sounds like a form of cannibalism.

NOW what does Jesus mean when he says “eat of my flesh and drink of my blood” ? Does Jesus want you to slice him up in pieces and eat him ? NO !

Jesus is using a very common saying. EVEN NOW. When we say Food For Thought. We’re not talking about handing a bucket of chicken to your thoughts ! Food for thought is merely an expression applied to anything that nurtures thought. Jesus is saying that his flesh and his blood is food for THE SOUL !

SO MANY times we get these people who feel that EVERYTHING in The Bible and EVERYTHING Jesus says in literal, and yet they fail to understand the context of what Jesus is saying and who or how He’s saying it ! Just because Jesus is perfect DOES NOT mean He can’t use regular colloquialisms to illustrate his point ! When Jesus says that “My flesh is real food and my body real drink”, HE IS NOT SAYING that His body is chicken and his blood is Sprite. He saying that food food and drink drink is only food for the body. It only feed you physically. But His Flesh, His Blood will feed you spiritually. Now on to the issue of the communion. Why do we eat the crackers and drink the juice ? Well Jesus said do this in memory of me. M’kay.

Well The Communion process is actually a representation of feeding our spirit. Basically when we take Communion are accepting of Jesus and His word and we are FEEDING ourselves HIS word. And we do this to acknowledge that we accept His word as FOOD for THE SPIRIT ! The article above is obviously short sighted, one-sighted and only give you what the author believes to be true, HOWEVER he actually took the time to understand what it is he’s talking about and got his facts straight then maybe he’d have a sound argument, And I’m not give you one side either, I’m explaining why we do this so there is no misconception. I hope this help clears up any misconception about communion. Alright, as always have a nice day or a nice night, thank you very much for reading and as always God Bless. Thanks.
