This is a video of me speaking at Next Level Church, in Fort Myers, Florida. In the video I touch on the differences between believing in our own moral effort for our righteousness and that of receiving Jesus' perfect righteousness based on His behavior. There is nothing like the free gift of salvation that He offers, and there is nothing better than knowing you can rest in Him. I hope the video encourages, edifies, and brings you closer to Jesus.

to marcus .look at lu bo for your answer i posted in you tube

To eat his flesh, means to learn from his word, Jesus is the word that give life. To Feed from his word is like eating because people need food to help them stay alive,so if your feeding on his word you will be strong spiritually, because he is the flesh, food, life we need to grow ,Jesus is in heaven we do not have his blood to drink from, nor drinking his blood is what he wants us to do

[lu bo]

THE BIBLE IS LITERAL & SYMBOLIC WE NEED TO LEARN WHEN IS SPEAKING IN SYMBOLISM AND WHEN IS SPEAKING LITERAL

A SAMPLE OF THIS (Mark 9:43 And if your hand causes you to sin cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than with two hands to go to hell, to the unquenchable fire John 6:54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal,life This is symbolic, Christ doesn't want us to literaly drink his blood, this means to beleive that he paid for our sin with his blood at the cross

Case in point below "Exateddirts" written list of per say sins no offense to him, but their all very human things, should we refrain from destructive behavior yes I agree.

Look at the tone hes using and hear the mental guilt trap snapping shut this junk is mental self imposed sadism, sure were human we have faults but most of also have virtues that does counterbalance these.

He fails to point out the bible also promotes many of these as morally correct depending on whom it's being imposed on.

[Julia Winkler]

Exactly we are hard wired to find appealing sensuality and beauty in eachothers bodies, that is natural and if it wasn't so we would have long ago died out as species.

Religion put shame in this which tends to create perverts because they knew they could trap us into guilt and call it a sin, now people that exploit it and want to see perverted displays abuse it are part of this lets make nature a sin game.

Anyone knows when their being a pervert, all said balance respect and decency is the rule

[Julia Winkler]

I'm trying not to and it seems to me there could be something a creator, but these religions we have adapted are destructive to the human mind.

Most religion I have seen has the hallmarks of junk and I call it junk, left over from infancy when we didn't have much in the way of enlightenment nor common sense.

Deity or creator is plausible with which if we had made contact you could expect knowledge enlightenment, religions have proven to me we've had no contact with god only shysters and frauds.

[Reza Mikhaeil]

That doesn't even make sense... and it makes less sense given the fact that not a single person in the Early Church interpreted it that way. They all unanimously agreed that Jesus was referencing the Eucharist being taken literally as Christ's body and blood. All of their survived writings conclude this much. As I'd said, it wasn't until Martin Luther that we have people who interpret it as you might.

Thank you, be careful not to throw the baby out with the bathwater though, there is truth in most all religions, but like you said...the control freaks establish a lot of things in our society.

[Julia Winkler]

Because Christianity is a faith derived from ancient cultures that practiced human sacrifice and cannabalism, it's rather obvious if you have read about

some of the other cults of the age that Christianity developed in.

At the end of the day it is what it is barbaric old fairytales retold yet again,

all this is in reality is mind control established by evil control freaks.

If you look at the murderous history of this junk, it shows what it's really all about !

Just my thoughts.

mabye Jesus meant to live as he lived, follow the example he was setting.

Life is definitely a divine mystery as far as I am concerned, namaste
