I came from Mass this morning (paying respects to my grandmas) and was thinkin'
The body of Christ is the people (1 Corinthians 12)
Christ, himself, is a person (John 1:14)
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth....(Word of god) He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.” Luke 11:28 and Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” Mathew 4:4 Yada yada...
Now Christ was born a person to be his father's Word. When he left, he said to believers that when there are more than one present (communion), he is present. So when all are present in worship god, they become christ's body. Because they become christ's body, they are automatically in union with god.
What exactly was christ's body if christ comes back?
I always find something new when I go to Mass once in a few millenia.
Are christians (all denominations) worshiping the flesh-the person? Many people place their face down praying to christ others kiss his feet.
If so, christ comes back, since the physical body came back, are christians supposed to worship the physical body of christ since the spiritual body/body of people doesn't need to make christ present when he would be here physically?
If christ comes back, is he still an intermediary to god (taking out judgement and all of that)?
It got me thinking because in Mass and a presbyterian church I went to a couple of times, they believe that christ is present when people come together. If christ is flesh (not a sacrificial meal but the person hands and feet), then christ cannot physically (hands to feet) be present in communion. But since he isn't present (hands to feet), he can be and that's how christians have union with god through the body of god's people coming together in his son's name.
But if christ comes later on in the future as many christians believe young and old, then who exactly was the "christ" people brought present when they worship him in their churches?
If christ comes back, will christians kiss his feet--are you actually worshiping the person, the human being? How does the body/flesh become the body/people to worship together in union with god and later for the body/flesh to come back for you to worship the body/flesh in order to be in union with god?
Are you supposed to worship god as one body which is christ (anointed body of people) or are you supposed to worship the actual human being (regardless the nature) if he comes physically head-toe as a human being? Will you guys kiss and wash his feet?
In Mass, it's not portrayed as worshiping the person/flesh (head-to-two) but to worship as a group called christ's body in a sacrificial meal. So, when I hear "christ comes again" it sounds redundant...
isn't he already here?
