From distant memory communion is supposed to be about remembrance and how followers of Jesus would meet together both before he died and afterwards. I don't think it means eating Jesus at all though experts on the subject may know more if they have studied the original Bible that is in many parts with different religions.
It was itself only put together as:
The Fifty Bibles of Constantine were Bibles in the original Greek language commissioned in 331 by Constantine I and prepared by Eusebius of Caesarea.
In this Bible Jesus, as reported by disciples and others, never said he was the son of god etc., This was added when various translations were made. The only correct English translation of part was said to have been made by The Blessed Bede in the 13th century -
Bede (c. 672–735) produced a translation of the Gospel of John into Old English, which he is said to have prepared shortly before his death. This translation is lost; we know of its existence from Cuthbert of Jarrow's account of Bede's death.
Probably because it was correct and went against what people had been told the Bible meant in my opinion.

It's a good idea to stay away from topics related to religion so I'm going to change the subject with this quote that I've always thought was a good one;

"It is in the forgiveness of our weaknesses that we are healed of them."

Can Chinese lanterns cause fires? In addition to the serious problems sky lanterns pose to animals welfare, they are also a fire hazard not just to wildlife habitats but also farm buildings. Fire services have issued warnings to people over the fire risk - RSPCA.

An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life.

"A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy. "It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil --he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies , false pride, superiority and ego.

The other is good --he is joy, peace, love,hope, serenity, huility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith. The same fight is going on inside you -- and inside every other person, too."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather "Which wolf will win ?"

The old Cherokee simply replied. "The one you feed."

The trouble with fraud is that they eventually run out of other peoples money. They often being directors' of companies and not always small fry. Unless fraud reduces the company to that.

A persons aptitude for learning to trade the financial markets is directly related to their ability to know what they don't know.

That is very true, the real issue is actually being able to identify which wolf is which.
Most people feed the wolf they believe in, whether it is the good one or the bad one, all depends on the narrative they are being fed.
If a person always showed compassion, understanding, benevolance, empathy etc, they wouldnt talk ill of people they didnt know.
But that doesnt happen, because they are quick to believe ill of people, if they read it in the media. Lol

Hope is a tease that stops us recognising reality.

My thought on this. If someone has hope it makes their reality better.
