It's the same concept, just as we need food naturally, we also need food spiritually, which is why Jesus said you must eat of his flesh and drink of his blood (spiritually speaking), or you had no life in you.
So you can't sit here and claim that vicarious redemption is immoral without being a hypocrite...
-and I could only be a hypocrite if I was doing one immoral thing and not the other immoral thing. In any comparison of hypocrisy both things are contended to be immoral.......do you really want to go that route?
I'm probably hypocritical in a number of areas in my life, even though this has to be about the silliest claim ever made to that effect....so? Are you asking about my hypocrisies or the immorality of vicarious redemption?
I do not contend that vicarious redemption is immoral, you do, thereby making yourself an immoral hypocrite, since you clearly have no problems sanctioning the taking of a life to sustain your own life and that of your family's..
