DBF…………..What i see as a problem you may have is that you seem to be taking everything to literial, much of the bible is symbolic , and there are many Metaphors and Proverbs (fictitious illustrations) given to make points, if you look at all scripture as literial it will cause you problems in understanding them , IMO
Here are some examples…………….Tree (that which produces from self)
Drink or Eat (to take to ones self)“Thou shalt not Eat (take to yourself) from the Tree (that which produces the knowledge of good and evil),> Another word GOD was telling them not to (take to themselves) symbolic to (eat) to produce the knowledge of good and evil from themselves, They did however eat (took to themselves) and produced from themselves the fruit of the tree in there lives.
Jesus said we must (eat) his flesh and (drink) his blood. this was symbolic language he simply meant to (take to ourselves) The life and sacrifice of Jesus , we must apply them to ourselves.
hope this helped you,,,,,,,,peace and love to you and yours…………………………gene
