Garveys Africa, the I said,
--------------
Why is there an emphasis on the body and blood of Christ? Body and Blood seems superficial and earthly compared to the spiritual concept. I would think the emphasis should be on the Teachings of christ, the life of christ, the spirit of christ... etc...
--------------
The same reason they prefer the words of Paul over the words of Christ. They don't want to live like Christ, so they use whatever excuse they can or divert attention to avoid living so. It seems like the Teachings of Christ are irrelevant to much of Christianity.
In the same reasoning where Christ speaks of flesh and blood being life, he explained to his disciples:
--------------
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
