Are the Elements of Communion the Literal Body and Blood of Christ?

Episode 401 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today's show: 1. What does 1 Peter 4 mean when it describes Christians as suffering in the flesh? 2. Hebrews 6:4–6 seems to say that anyone who backslides from the faith has no hope of returning to it. Can you clarify these verses and if there is any, can you give hope to a backslider like me? 3. I'm confused about John 6:56, where Jesus said, "Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him." I have some Catholic friends who told me that this is talking about Communion or the Eucharist. I have never heard this before, is it true? 4. In Mark 9:1 Jesus says to his disciples that some standing here will not die before they see the kingdom of God arrive in great power. I don't understand what this means. Can you clarify this for me?  Resources Life Together: The Classic Exploration of Christian in Community by Dietrich Bonhoeffer Introducing Covenant Theology by Michael Horton Request our latest special offers here or call 1-833-THE-CORE (833-843-2673) to request them by phone.
