While the WMSCOG has their own spin on what the Passover means and how it should be celebrated here's an interesting and possibly a more realistic way of viewing the passover. After the Passover meal Jesus did something that was really out of the normal way of doing things. He took the bread and used it to symbolize his body which would be broken for us. Then he took the cup of redemption and used it to symbolize his blood that would be shed for us. What we have lost over the years is something that the Jews of that time would have understood very well. Jesus actually proposed to his followers (the Church) with this act. When the followers drank from the cup they sealed a blood covenant with their future spouse. Let me explain. In Jesus time when a young man wished to marry there was certain things that he had to do. The young man prepared a Ketubah, or marriage contract (or covenant) which he presented to the intended bride and her father. Included in this was the " Bride Price ", which was appropriate in that society to compensate the young woman's parents for the cost of raising her, as well as being an expression of his love for her. If this contract was accepted by the future brides father then the young man proceeded to the next step. To see if the proposal was accepted, the young man would pour a cup of wine for his beloved and wait to see if she drank it. This cup represents a blood covenant. If she drank the cup she would have accepted the proposal and they would be betrothed. The young man would then give gifts to his beloved, and then take his leave. The young woman would have to wait for him to return and collect her. Do you not see the truth or the correlation yet? I'll go on. Before leaving the young man would announce, " I am going to prepare a place for you ", and "I will return for you when it is ready". The usual practice was for the young man to return to his father's house and build a honeymoon room there. He was not allowed to skimp on the work and had to get his father's approval before he could consider it ready for his bride. If asked the date of his wedding he would have to reply, "Only my father knows."
Jesus offered the "Bride Price" for us. We, the Church, accepted his offer and accept his offer everytime we drink from the cup representing his blood. He paid the price and gave us the gift of eternal life amoung others. After his resurrection he stated, " I am going to prepare a place for you ", and "I will return for you when it is ready". He then went to his fathers house and began preparing a place for his bride. The place is New Jerusalem where the saints will reside as the Bible says it. By the way, Ahnsahnghong said it as well. And who knows when Jesus is going to come back for us? Jesus told us, "Only my father knows." Jesus proposed to his bride in the evening after the Passover feast. We are his bride and it is proven by Jesus own actions and words. Anyone who comes preaching another doctrine other than the one taught to you by Jesus and the Apostles is a false prophet and a liar. Jesus paid the price for us and even Ahnsahnghong believed that and preached it till his death. This god the mother who's living in South Korea is a living, breathing, false prophet and liar as is anyone who is spreading these lies and deceiving Gods children. Accept Jesus the Christ as your personal Lord and Savior and he will reside in you and you in him. This is what the Bible teaches us. He's already paid the "Bride Price" for us, all we have to do is accept him.
Thats exactly what the Bible says it means.
If we were not angels why have Jews admitted to me that is what the lament against the King of Tyre in Ezekiel and taunt against the King of Babylon in Isaiah are saying and why did God know Jeremiah before he was even conceived?

Two become one is about sex
I have to disagree. Becoming one flesh is so much more than sex. My loved one and I have created a relationship, a life together. Where I am weak in certain areas, he is strong and vice versa. We compliment each other. In our relationship we have come to know and understand each other, read each other's thoughts and body language, finish each other's sentences. Call it intuition, call it the Holy Spirit, but I could feel in my soul when something was wrong, when my loved one was doing things that unyolked us spiritually and was committing adultry even though he was half a world away. Even when he continued to do so after he returned and tried to do things in secret. I knew without him telling me. Becoming one flesh is so much more than sex. We became one through relationships.

That is not the meaning of Genesis 2:24
Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.”

That is the meaning of Genesis. It is more than sex. You still have some sort of realtionship with a prostitute don't you? It is more……

No you have sex with a prostitute not a realationship.

So are you saying that we are only supposed to have sex with our spouses and not a relationship?

As I was taught concerning the verse in 1 Co about the prostitute, it means that participating in religious practices other than that of Christ is having part with a prostitute. The prostitute is described as the spiritual Babylon (false churches) in the NT.
