Re: Why Atheists?

You have hinted that you believe that Heaven, if Heaven exists (or the next good place after our physical deaths here on earth) will probably contain many more atheists than it will Christians.
There are certain ways of behaving that we have come to think of as Christian. They are roughly those that are in accordance with the moral teachings of Jesus. People may, for example, use the expression "That's not very Christian of you" when somebody behaves outside those expectations of Christian behavior.
​
My observation, admittedly informal, is that the behavior of atheists is noticeable more Christian than the behavior of many Christians. And I think that is what jar was commenting on.

Becauae really, the dude hasn't the slightest clue at all what the Bible teaches says or means let alone anything concerning Christianity whatsoever.
He probably knows what it says far better than you. As to what it means - that is argued much by theologians and I expect that there is a wide disagreement between you and jar on what it means.

Re: Is It A Cop Out To Believe In Communion?
What's to "believe in"? It is just a tradition and celebration.

Re: Is It A Cop Out To Believe In Communion?
Well...for starters...
quote:
John 4:24
24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."
That says nothing about communion.
​
That passage does, perhaps, condemn the kind of view sometimes expressed in debates here, that expressing certain beliefs is sufficient.
