I think we have folks here not living in the same spiritual dimensions. Some evaluate according to how they feel. Not what the Word tells us. It takes time. But, we should not deny what it does say because we still hurt over loved ones who refuse to become a disciple of Christ. They should become "broccoli" to our soul. Something we hate and will not eat. Christ is served and be gobble it up, licking the plate clean.

"I think we have folks here not living in the same spiritual dimensions."
Indeed! I'm proud to say that I do not live in your spiritual dimension, or, as I spell it, "dementia."
"Christ is served and be gobble it up"
I find the image of you gobbling Christ amusing. Lick it up.
Prager: "When reality and the 'word' collide, I have no choice but to choose reality. BTW: I like broccoli. And it's interesting that you use it, as it is good for you!"
I agree, and, just like broccoli, reality is good for you.
Great, another Christ Gobbler.
I like broccoli, too. Is this some play on the "chicken soup for the soul" thing? Is it going to turn into a "Lord's Well Balanced Meal" thing? Personally, I think Xianity is the junk food in the pyramid.
Hey, I just realized why I'm an atheist--I like broccoli. Apparently, you have to love gobbling Christ and hate broccoli. Well, at least now I have some rational way to explain it to people...
Soul Broccoli? So, logic is nutritious and delicious? So many levels of jawsome.
Unless the Word is secret moon speak for science, and how they feel refers to people trying to explain life through emotions and not logic, you're wrong. But it's okay. Eat more soul broccoli and less Christ. He's full of sweets anyways.
Well actually, it would be more like broccoli eaten by the disciples, and their stools eaten by the priests and their stools eaten by the next priests, and 2,000 years later you're still trying to call it brocolli.
Crosis:
"EUCHARIST IS PEOPLE! IT'S PEOPLE!"
Oh shit that is funny!
Maybe it's an atheist thing, I love brocolli too! Steamed, on ham and chedder between slices of Italian bread. It's freakin' sweet.
I guess that brocolli analogy is like the 'kill your family if they don't follow christ' thing in the bible. I still don't see why the god of love would instruct one to hate and kill their family members. And that last line sure has some gay overtones. It's actually creepy in a 'silence of the lambs' sort of way.
Why didn't anyone check out the link given? In context, what was said, is nothing like the effect you see here in the isolated quote.
It was to illustrate the meaning of word "hate" found in the Bible when Jesus said we are to hate loved ones under certain circumstances.
Someone can hate brocolli.It does not mean what we think of hate, as when we hate a person who is evil. Some people do hate brocolli. Its the type of hate that was to be brought out to reveal the nature of the hate intended. Of course, not everyone hates brocolli. Had some earlier today myself.
I like the way secular fundamentalists here check out your sources to see what was really being said.
Goes to show you......
And, I am honored to have gained the attention of atheists. ;-]
Broccoli is the family's favourite veg (after Brussel's sprouts) - yes, even our 12 year old son's.
Is liking broccoli perhaps part of teh sekrit aythayist ajenduh? Or are we all just wholesome, sensible people? (There was a tiny element of poking-fun-ness in that last bit, by the way...)
But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which a man may eat and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."
Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"
Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you."
Chew on that one for a while...
Apparently we're dealing with the sort of person who can only deal with broccoli when it's mixed with cheese and frozen hash browns according to a recipe from Taste of Home Magazine.
And genez needs to go back to metaphor school.
I don't like broccoli either. But broccoli is good for me. So genez' analogy suggests that, while he finds 'unsaved' loved ones unpalatable, he realises that interacting with them will actually do him some good.
Taken that way, he's probably right...
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
