For Christians only. Can we really eat the body and blood of Christ?

John 6:54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

These words of Jesus have been a source of great trouble to many. Can we really eat the body and blood of Christ?

One of my philosophies is to take the Bible literally unless it’s impossible to do so. This passage is obviously one of those. So we must conclude it is a spiritual act eating and consuming being recommended by Christ.

But what is the activity? Some say it would be Communion or the Eucharist that imitates what Jesus did the at the Last Supper. I think that’s part of it.

I think the point Jesus was trying to get across to us was deep, deep intimacy and interaction with Him. I think Jesus was making available to us the most satisfying connection – soul to soul, mind to mind, spirit to spirit and in some day even body to body.

So as we pray let us seek to be in the midst of Him – experience His body and blood be in us through us and around us. He is supernaturally united with us. Supernatural intimacy that can be experienced here on earth with the fullness received only when we see him face-to-face in Paradise.

Causes of Depression

What are the causes of depression?

1. Some types of depression run in families, indicating that a biological vulnerability to depression can be inherited. This seems to be the case especially with bipolar disorder. Studies have been done of families in which members of each generation develop bipolar disorder. The investigators found that those with the illness have a somewhat different genetic makeup than those who do not become ill. However, the reverse is not true. That is, not everybody with the genetic makeup that causes vulnerability to bipolar disorder will develop the illness. Apparently, additional factors, possibly a stressful environment, are involved in its onset and protective factors are involved in its prevention.

2. Major depression also seems to occur in generation after generation in some families, although not as strongly as in bipolar I or II. Indeed, major depression can also occur in people who have no family history of depression.

3. An external event often seems to initiate an episode of depression. Thus, a serious loss, chronic illness, difficult relationship, financial problem, or any unwelcome change in life patterns can trigger a depressive episode. Very often, a combination of genetic, psychological, and environmental factors is involved in the onset of a depressive disorder.
