Jesus's body was not broken. He did, however, break the bread. For some reason, I've often heard Jewish Christian groups (I might include Nazarene under this category, though not strongly) refer to the broken body of Christ. Perhaps they mean "broken" by the heavy flogging? In other words, a figurative not a literal brokenness. At any rate, Old Testament Scripture indicates that the Messiah's body was not to be broken. > Shalom Yeshua > > Bill Gripp -- Sincerely, Cindy Smith _///_ // SPAWN OF A JEWISH _///_ // _///_ // <`)= _<< CARPENTER _///_ //<`)= _<< <`)= _<< _///_ // \\\ \\ \\ _\\\_ <`)= _<< \\\ \\ \\\ \\ <`)= _<< >IXOYE=('> \\\ \\ \\\ \\_///_ // // /// _///_ // _///_ // emory!dragon!cms <`)= _<< _///_ // <`)= _<< <`)= _<< \\\ \\<`)= _<< \\\ \\ \\\ \\ GO AGAINST THE FLOW! \\\ \\ A Real Live Catholic in Georgia
