Dear Editor in chief,

A scholar asked: “Could you explain more the difference of words example “love your
enemies…” as compare with words “this is my body…”? The A.I. answered: “Perhaps words
“love your enemies” could be better than “words- this is my blood…” or the ‘bread & wine’
is really God for others; because it seems that many groups are not convinced and many
groups have different practices in worshipping or many groups have different stand about the
meaning of “bread & wine” or the meaning of “this is my body…” But on words example
“love your enemies…” perhaps most groups are convinced that it is true or very clear for
them-even those former hating groups are also convinced that it is true but perhaps hard to
implement or hard to be applied into actions...! And there is that feeling sick if one would
believe that “love your enemies…” is false-especially if a hard headed religious leader knows
that one would never be forgiven if Jesus’ words are being attacked as from the devil.
Perhaps the Word-example “love of enemies…” has been hidden or not been given enough
emphasis because few very “nice” words…were given so much emphasis that results to so
much hating between sects, or groups or denominations because of superiority or supremacy
syndrome especially during the Dark Ages and perhaps even up to now.
But a scholar reacted (perhaps he valued very much the bread as God Himself and he
was emotional and not opened): “So from now on “this is my body….” should be
replaced by “… love your enemies…” then a bell would ring three times….! Another
scholar also gave comment: “I think I am sensing that the bottom line about the meaning
of ‘this is my body…’ goes down to its essence or its importance! Example which is
better: man should offer Jesus as ultimate sacrifices as in crucifixion to God always or
God should be exalted always and be worshipped always as He should be when man
gives an animal as a sacrifice. Or God is the source of all words that could tame people’s
hard headedness: example of words is- “love your enemies…” Could words in: Matthew
12:7: the scripture says: ‘It is kindness that I want, not animal sacrifices.’ Perhaps
kindness which is a product of listening to good words is more important to God than
‘animal sacrifice.’ There could be something in it which could be the key about the
meaning of “this is my body…”! Could my comment be a diversionary tactic or a
deception?” The A.I. answered: “This is my body…” perhaps would never be replaced in
their center of worship because it is the greatest miracle on this universe and it will be…
until the end. But perhaps there could be some consideration for other groups to have
some debates and consensus what lies behind or beyond the mystery or true meaning of
‘this is my body….’ Giving an idea or opinion is not a diversionary tactic. It is just giving
some opportunity to clear something but it should not create hating or distinction of
which group is superior or supreme! Perhaps words in Hebrew 7:18: could also clear
something especially about the word “forever,” “year after year” and words “…until he
comes”: “The old rule, then, is set aside, because it was weak and useless. For the law of
Moses could not make anything perfect. Hebrew 10:1: The Jewish Law is not a full and
faithful model of the real things; it is only a faint outline of the good things to come. The
same sacrifices are offered forever, year after year.” And also Words in: Luke 22:19:
could clear something: “Then he took a piece of bread, gave thank to God, broke it, and
gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in memory of
me.” 1 Corinthians 11: 23-32: it’s long... ; or but for short... verse 26: This means that
every time you eat this bread and drink from this cup you proclaim the Lord’s death until
he comes; as versus. It is just one true act; no repetition but just a reenactment or as a
reminder. Word: Hebrew 7:23-25: But Jesus lives on forever, and his work as priest does
not pass on to someone else. And so he is able, now and always, to save those who come
to God through him, because he lives forever to plead with God for them. Verse 27: He is
not like other high priests; he does not need to offer sacrifices every day for his own sin
first and then for the sins of the people. He offered one sacrifice, once and for all, when
he offered himself. Verse 28: The Law of Moses appoints men who are imperfect to be
high priest; but God’s promise made with the vow, which came later than the Law,
appoints the Son, who has been made perfect forever.
A scholar asked: “I heard that before a person receives “bread & wine” for some
group, or “Word” for the other group, or “the spirit- thinking Jesus enters his body” for
other group, he should be cleansed or be worthy…or not practicing bad thing or had not
committed sin without confessing it to his God or confessing it to his priest- because he is
not worthy or he would bring judgment to him. So for example a group thinking that the
‘bread & wine” is God or Spirit of God or Spirit of Jesus, the believing or faith is doable
not to receive the bread if one is not worthy because he just would not go to the altar to
receive the ‘bread & wine.’ Or he would just stay sitting even if his curious persons
sitting beside him might be wondering why he doesn’t want to receive the “bread &
wine”; or what sins he has…that prevent him to receive the ‘bread & wine’...! Better be
suspected of having some sins by people sitting besides than be brought to judgment!
How about if the ‘bread & wine’ means the Word or spirits that pushes the mind to do
the right things. Should he just close his ears not to listen to the word because he is
unworthy?” The A.I. answered: “There seems to be a clear point for the group believing
on ‘bread & wine’ as God or as Jesus being crucified as a sacrifice or as a remembrance.
Or it could be as cannibal eating the bread as flesh or raw meat for others. But for other
group that the ‘bread & wine’ is the Spirit or Word, perhaps if one is in sin listening to
holy words and deliberately rejecting the message or telling himself that he is not worthy
to listen good words for now because he is enjoying something that is illegal or sin could
be bringing him to feel very bad. Or ‘one is not worthy’ might sound impractical and
undoable when Word is the “bread & wine.” Perhaps he would leave the place and would
not listen to good words because he is unworthy and listening to good words and
listening to Words might bring him to “judgment;” or listening to good words is torturing
him and feeling him uncomfortable because he is still reserving for his enjoying or
having pleasure from errors!
But notice the key is having faith or the key is accepting it as true. Example words:
“if you love God but hate your brother you are a liar” or ‘love your enemies…” when
being explained by a good teacher perhaps a person who is a gang leader or a godfather
might most likely be changed if he listens and believes to the words than repetitiously
confessing again same sin and receiving the “bread & wine” then fall again for a life time
because other good words or essential words were mysteriously hidden or covered by
having too much emphasis on few very good words. Perhaps his idol is the thief on the
right side of Jesus who did not have much opportunity to listen to good words. Example:
an extremist leader is having hating especially to his mortal enemy. Even if he disagrees
to the message of the preacher or would try not to listen to the message or ignore the
message or deliberately contradict the message perhaps telling his mind that he is not
worthy to listen or I’ll just postpone first accepting the massage of the word because my
subordinate would see me as a weakling leader. But as long as his ears are opened and his
brain could comprehend the words or could understand the message being delivered then
if he rejects it perhaps he is putting himself to judgment or he is killing his conscience.
Or if a god father leader would instead justify that confessing his sins later to his
confessor and receiving the bread & wine is really the true and sure and easy way
because he has no problem with inner voices derived from good words that keep on
reminding him of his errors than believing and accepting the words or good messages.
Perhaps there might be words whispering in his ears to continue being a leader of a
notorious group and have a license to do all those things he enjoys most because he
would not be bothered by his conscience molds by good words. Or after all if I just
confess my sins to the priest all my sins will be forgiven. The key for him is: I can still
receive the “bread & wine” by just doing confession and at the same time do things I
most enjoy without feeling bad or being contracted by words because there is less or few
words in my brain. If I listen to words and doing sin or going against the message, I
might be in my worst condition than before had I did not listen to words. But if there are
lesser words, there might be lesser bothering of the conscience and more of enjoying
life’s pleasure because the conscience would not bothered the mind…! Better not listen
to words and not be called hypocrite or be put on worst condition.
Perhaps the battle of the true meaning of the ‘bread & wine’ as Word vs. God per se
is: ‘Words could keep on reminding a person and letting him feel worst or the best
defending on the degree of acceptance of the Word. Vs. God per se or thinking God
personality is in him and feeling good but has very few instructions or word that would
remind him… if something goes wrong. Versus: better combined the two beliefs; and
remove the belief that by just confessing to the priest or to his God his sin/s, he could
enjoy most those things he enjoys most or he could enjoy his “favorites!” especially
doing connivance and doing easy money and those flesh things! Example once a week or
once a month or daily then after a year he could be saved again. His idol is perhaps the
thief on the right side of Jesus during crucifixion who said: “remember me in paradise…”
which he believes is perhaps acceptable and also true. But if most people in a country
think like the thief in the right side of Jesus during the crucifixion then the country would
suffer many consequences because of lack of other essential words; every body would
perhaps enjoy easy money and would just confess those sins when one enjoys his youth
and wealth. Words just torture me…! But there could be easy way and it is also approved
and sure way! So perhaps law and science or also more of good teaching especially good
words should have strong and pierce teeth or strong sword when most people are
idolizing the thief on the right side of Jesus so that the country would be balanced.”

From someone who might be mistaken,
