I am a "Baptist" who believes that these elements were the true blood and body of the Lord Jesus, in the form of the bread and wine, like the Holy Spirit, become physical in the form of the Dove during Jesus baptism. God can be somewhere while He is also everywhere at the same time.
"With God, everything is possible" - Lord Jesus Christ.
Matt:
sorry but you just out-ted yourself you are not a baptist. More likely you are a romanist.
But at minimum you are espousing the lutheran doctrine of ubiquity.
Jesus is full human. his divinity is a separate nature from his humanity.
Unlike the monophysites, we believe that jesus physically resurrected, meaning that he has a distinct physical body. it is not the same as the godhead. that would undermine the resurrection. Jesus is spiritually present through the work of the Holy Ghost, but that presence is only mediated through the paraclete(HS) otherwise Jesus is physically in Heaven. Jesus shed his blood upon the earth he did not take his blood to heaven.
Luke 24:39
Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have."
If you want the spiritual presence of God you need the presence of the Holy Spirit which is brought to you through the Gospel.
Philippians 1:19 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,"
Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith."
Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory."
Sir we have the presence of the Holy Spirit after we have been justified by faith and the object of our faith is in the Gospel. The Gospel is propositional. It is not our acts in which we receive the Spirit.
Galatians 3:2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?"
Jesus acknowledge that the juice was literally the same.
Luke 22:18
For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come."
This is because the drink offering was first symbolic for the sacrifice of the lamb before it was applied to Christ.
Exodus 29:39 The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at even:40 And with the one lamb a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil; and the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering.41 And the other lamb thou shalt offer at even, and shalt do thereto according to the meat offering of the morning, and according to the drink offering thereof, for a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the Lord."
Now when you worship you must not use the worship of Catholicism because it is mysticism and mysticism leads to idolatry.
Colossians 2:20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not;22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?23 Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body: not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh."
Hebrews 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;"
With no more sacrificial system there is no more priesthood in the physical system; nullifying the sacramental system.
If you are receiving a spirit from performing rituals you need to beware this is not the Holy Spirit and may be another spirit entirely.
1 corinthians 10:14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.15 I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?17 For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.18 Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?19 What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? 20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. 21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?"
Ephesians 3:17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,"
If Jesus is in your heart then you do not need anymore of Jesus. If you seek another christ than the one of faith you are being polluted by the demonic.
Ephesians 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,"
