Who does Wine-Bread-Wine?

 Who does Wine-Bread-Wine as in Luke 22? Why or Why not?

(JBJ mentions this in 'Trees and Thorns, iirc)

Pope vs. Pax Silica

 

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT
The Church says the person comes first. The system says the credential comes first. The collision is not between two institutions. It is between two visions of what a human being is.

Rosenstock Liturgy Celebrate Change World

 p. 76 'Origin of Speech'.  Rosenstock : 'And to celebrate means to cumulaate and condensein one short moment the events of long peroods of time'.

In liturgy this can be done, for we know the start (Creation) and the end (Final Judgment, Lake of Fire, New Heavens and New Earth).
One can use appropriate Bible Verses and symbols.
For instanc Paul's '...it is more needful for you' after Communion.
 
More later.  This is key to Will (not Knowledge) and to changing the world.

'Historical life is a sequence of imperatives.': Rosenstock

 'Historical life is a sequence of imperatives.': Rosenstock

Thus, the '42s' of '1000' must be improved.

What commands in the future. What unfulfilled from the past?

Learning from Mennonites...

 Learning from Mennonites, Lutherans, ERH, Baptist brother, 40 Days: Imperatives

 
I started reading 'Oxford History of 
Christian Worship' at Mennonites.
 
Keyly, they have/had a 3-sided seating plan, so that the would be more 'one another' than listening to 'sage on stage'.
They also did a lot of 1 Cor. 14.
 
Lutherans light a candle at start, extinguish at end. Evening and morning = Day, and light has come.
 
ERH ('Origin of 
Speech')  talks of time cup. We lose the strength of the imperative when we go to an analytic mode before the imperative cup is filled.
 
My brother has written 'New Testament Imperativity' which list all the commands of the New Testament.
 
Are the 40 Days between Resurrection and Ascension (and see Ephesians 2:6) a further prophetic speech/action, and proleptic to Pentecost? Thus, the Word is bread (Man shall not live by bread alone, but...) as alpha food, and the fish/Gentiles?/nations?/ichthys omega food? Thus, add to the Passover bread/body and wine/blood, another layer? Give fish as leave service?
 
I think so.

PS: And DO Psalm 146 (JBJ, 150 in present Bibles) don't only sing about praising with timbrel (tambourine) and dance, etc.

Synesthesia

 Synestheria

It’s in our future.

Taste and see that the Lord is good—that’s a hint, a brush, a glimpse, a whisper.

Smell the future: Rosenstock.

There is no frigate like a book, to take us worlds away: Dickinson.

Hear, see, taste, touch, smell—each and all, each and all.

Hear smells, touch seeing, etc.

Fictional Amos Decker: blue is death, attacked by yellow threes.

Tongues of fire so that each hears in his own tongue.

A Scythian smells different than a Parthian, so they are different/two yet one in Christ.

Both three And One, God and Man.

One is acted on, Me. I act. We are one, but They and each/all planetary service.

Time Cup (ERH), betrayed by too soon analytics, death.

The New Heaves and New Earth, we’ll by synesthetes, remembering/forgetting.

Touch the sky (High Flight).

Mrs. Hartman posted a farmer cutting hay, with children, and the caption that we smell and remember.

Farrell: Scientist are stuck in past, present, future, but our natural language grammar include pluperfect subjunctive.

Greek: 256, Hebrew: Preterite.

Philip K. Dick

 In 'I Hope I Shall Arrive Soon', first essay he has a neat chiasm. He starts with Disneyland/simulacra, and ends with no to Disneyland/sumulacra and real birds singing.

 
In the meantime, he says he has been motivated by 2 questions: What is reality? What constitutes the authentic human being?
 
He answers both, the second very surprisingly! (Note: In Gilder's 'Life After Capitalism' (he means the 'old' capitalit]sm) he says that information is surprise. He also has surprising info on dreams and coincidences.
 

Take a look at some of the fantastic resources out there, available on websites like Internet Archive, Project Gutenberg, Standard Ebooks, Open Library, and the Directory of Open Access Books.

 

Love in King Jesus,
