      QURAN THE LAST SUPPER ARTICLE 5
      'The Table Spread' is also an article of the Qur'an "Said Jesus, the son of Mary, "O Allāh, our Lord, send down to us a table [spread with food] from the heaven to be for us a festival for the first of us and the last of us and a sign from You. And provide for us, and You are the best of providers." Article Surah al-Maida The Supper/Table
      Allah answered, “I am sending it down to you. But whoever among you denies afterwards will be subjected to a torment I have never inflicted on anyone of My creation.”
      And ˹on Judgment Day˺ Allah will say, “O Jesus, son of Mary! Did you ever ask the people to worship you and your mother as gods besides Allah?” He will answer, “Glory be to You! How could I ever say what I had no right to say? If I had said such a thing, you would have certainly known it. You know what is ˹hidden˺ within me, but I do not know what is within You. Indeed, You ˹alone˺ are the Knower of all unseen. I never told them anything except what You ordered me to say: “Worship Allah-my Lord and your Lord!” And I was witness over them as long as I remained among them. But when You took me,1 You were the Witness over them-and You are a Witness over all things.
      5:114 ˹Jesus˺ declared, “I am truly a servant of Allah. He has destined me to be given the Scripture and to be a prophet.
      He has made me a blessing wherever I go, and bid me to establish prayer and give alms-tax as long as I live,
      and to be kind to my mother. He has not made me arrogant or defiant.
      Peace be upon me the day I was born, the day I die, and the day I will be raised back to life!”
      - Surah Maryam 19:30-33[8]

      GOD is Omniscient, Most Wise.All praise is due to God, the Lord/Cherisher/Sustainer of the Universe and everything therein.
      1
      A.L.M. Alif-Laam-Meem. (Allah, Lateef the Unfathomable, Majeed the Magnificent, knows and understands your needs.)
      2
      (Here is the guidance you asked for.) This is a Book whereof there is absolutely no doubt concerning its authority and authenticity. And it leaves no doubts lingering in a seeking mind. It is a Guide for those who wish to journey through life in honor and security.
      3
      Those who (wish to journey through life in honor and security), believe in the Unseen, and establish the System of Salaat in which the following of Divine commands is facilitated, and keep open for others the resources that We have granted them.
      4
      And those who choose to believe in what has been revealed to you (O Messenger) and in the (truth in) what was revealed before your times. And they have conviction in the Law of Requital, and, therefore, in the life Hereafter.
      5
      They are the ones who walk on a path lighted by their Lord, and they are the ones whose crops of effort will flourish and they will truly prosper.
      6
      Remember that those who have chosen denial in advance, it is all the same to them whether you apprise them (of the consequences of their actions) or apprise them not. They will refuse to acknowledge the truth.
      7
      God (His Law of Cause and Effect) has sealed their hearts and their hearing, and on their sight there is a veil. And theirs will be a tremendous suffering.
      8
      And of mankind there are those who claim, “We believe in God and the Last Day", while they are not believers.
      9
      They wish to deceive God and those who have attained belief. But they deceive none but themselves and realize it not.
      10
      (This negative attitude) is a disease in their hearts, and God (His law) increases their disease. And for them is painful suffering, for, they lie to themselves.
      11
      When it is said to them, “Do not cause disruption in the land”, they assert, “We are but reformers, setting things right.”
      12
      Nay, it is they who are the disrupters. But they fail to use reason.
      13
      And when it is said to them, “Acknowledge the truth as people have acknowledged”, they retort, "Shall we accept what the foolish accept?" Nay, it is they who are foolish. But they do not know.
      14
      And when they meet those who have chosen to believe, they say, “We have attained belief.” But when they go away to their shayaateen (devilish comrades), they say, "We are with you. We were only mocking.”
      15
      God will return their mockery to them, and leave them to wander in their arrogance, blindly stumbling to and fro.
      16
      They have bought straying at the expense of guidance. But their trade will go bankrupt because they have not set their caravan in the right direction.
      17
      Their example is that of a person who lights up a fire without adequate fuel. As soon as brightness surrounds them, the fuel is consumed and God (His law) takes away their light leaving them in the dark where they cannot see.
      18
      Deaf, dumb and blind of reason! They will not return to journey in the right direction (unless they use their perceptual and conceptual faculties. 8:22, 16:76, 17:36).
      19
      Another example is that of a rainstorm from the sky with darkness, thunder and lightning. They plug their ears with their fingers for fear of death. And God encompasses the deniers.
      20
      The lightning almost snatches away their sight and vision. They walk a few steps, in a stop and go fashion. When the light helps them, they walk therein. And when darkness prevails on them, they stand still. And if God willed, He could take away their faculties of hearing and seeing. For, God is Able to do all things.
      21
      O Mankind! Serve your Lord (by serving His creation). He is the One Who has created you and those before your times, so that you may journey through life secure against error.
      22
      He Who has made the earth habitable for you, and the sky over it like a canopy, and brought down rain from therein so that fruits of His bounty may spring forth for you as abundant provision. When you understand this simple fact, (do not insult your intelligence and) do not equate others with God.
      23
      (For the real skeptic, here is a reason-friendly offer.) If you are still in doubt concerning what We have revealed to Our servant (Muhammad), call and set up (a committee, commission, organization, association of the highest order) all your helpers besides God, and then produce just one Surah like this, if you are truthful.
      24
      And if you fail to do it - and fail you will - yet remain haughty and scornful, then guard yourselves against the fire that has been readied for those who oppose the truth, and its fuel is the masses and their stonehearted leaders alike.
      25
      Convey the happy news to those who have chosen to be graced with belief, and have done acts of service to humanity. For them will be a most pleasant reward, Paradise in both lives. (Try to understand it in the current human vocabulary.) - Plush Gardens with streams flowing underneath! When they are provided with the delicious fruit of their deeds, they will say, “This is what we were provided before.” They had tasted some of the reward in this world. They will be given sustenance that will recall their past. These men and women will have pure companions therein, an everlasting happy family life.
      26
      God does not shy away from citing any kind of allegory, even of a mosquito or beyond. Those who attain belief by way of reason appreciate the allegories and know that it is the Truth from their Lord. But those who have chosen to disbelieve, try to ridicule, saying, "What could God mean to teach by this similitude?" Thus He (His law of guidance) lets go astray many and shows the lighted road to many. But He never lets go astray any but those who drift away from reason.
      27
      (Just as there is One Creator, likewise mankind is but one Community.) Those who break this ratified Bond of God and cut asunder the unity of mankind that God has commanded them to uphold, and thus lay the foundation of chaos on earth, those will be the losers in the long run.
      28
      Think! How can you disbelieve in God knowing that He is the One Who gave you life when you were lifeless? Then He will cause you to die and bring you back to life again. And then, all of you will return to Him.
      29
      He is the One Who has created for you whatever is on earth - all of it. And He has applied His Design to the sky and fashioned it in several ascending heights. He is the Supreme Knower of what all things are destined to be.
      30
      (Now is related to you the creation of Adam or mankind, in allegorical terms; when God decided to create humans who would be given free will, and supremacy on earth.) Your Lord announced His Plan to the angels, “I am about to place on earth a new creation that will have supremacy over it.” They exclaimed, “Will you place on it such creation as will cause disorder therein and shed blood! - Whereas we strive to manifest Your glory (in the Universe)!” He answered, “I know what you do not know.”
      31
      And God endowed mankind with the capacity to attain knowledge. Then He showed the angels certain things and said to them, “Tell me if you have the capacity of learning about these, if you are truthful (and better qualified to have supremacy on the planet earth).”
      32
      They humbly said, “Glorified are You, High above all! We only know what You have taught us (the tasks assigned to us). Most certainly, You are all Knower, all Wise.”
      33
      Then He said, “O Adam! Show them some of your capacity to attain knowledge.” And when Adam informed them of his ability to learn, He said to the angels, “Did I not tell you that I know the secrets of the highs and the lows? And I know what is manifested by your efforts and the potentials that lie dormant within you.”
      34
      And when We said to the angels, “Humble yourselves and be subservient to Adam-mankind, they instantly complied humbling themselves. But Iblees (Satan) refused through self-glorification, and so became a rejecter of the Divine Command.
      35
      We told the early humans, Adam and his wife (men and women), “O Mankind! Reside in this land which is Paradise and partake the fruit thereof as you please. But do not go near this branching Tree (of Selfishness). Or, you will become of the wrongdoers.”
      36
      But Satan caused them both (men as well as women) to stumble therein and got them out of the happy state they were in. And so We said, “Degraded you have become with wedges of discord among yourselves! There shall be for you habitation and livelihood on earth for a while.”
      37
      (The solution to this catastrophe was beyond human redress.) Then Adam received Words of guidance from his Lord and He accepted his repentance. Certainly, He is the Acceptor of repentance, the Most Merciful.
      38
      We said, “For now, all of you are degraded to a lower level of existence, out of this state of felicity (Paradise). But, when guidance comes to you from Me, those who will follow My guidance, on them shall be no fear from without, nor shall they have any grief from within.”
      39
      But those who reject Our messages or deny them in practice, such will be the rightful dwellers of the fire. They will abide therein.

    Intentional inaccuracies, unset or underset expectations, failure to disclose information, avoiding topics, made-up facts, and misrepresentation-anything less than our best efforts at full transparency and clarity is a lie and is worthless. The intent of Jesus is for us to be able to work together in as much harmony as is possible for humans. Further, he wants us to go a step further and work to create as perfect certainty as can exist between people so we can rely on each other. He wants us to eliminate doubt and replace it with perfect trust. He wants us to have hope in place of ambiguity. When we do anything less for each other, we undermine all of us for our own sakes.
    There’s no room in the kingdom for anything less than our best. There’s no place for people who cannot be open and accountable! We must be fully critical of everything we say and think so that we let nothing out that is less than what is best for all people always.

    "It's much easier to control people than to love them and to honor them and their dignity and their input."
    So true and it is the reason why many churches struggle. Many are set up with a lead pastor who can become THE voice of the church. Goes against him and you are going against God.

      God doesn't want us to be afraid of Him. Only the evil one loves it when people are in fear. I had turned my back on God at the of 12 and in 2020, at the age of 63, I found my way back to God and started reading the Bible for the first time in my life; I figuratively needed to change into clean underwear several times a day. I was that scared. To make a very long story short: I found Tim's own channel and his The Bible Project channel (very recommendable) here on UA-cam and it didn't take long before the fear disappeared and changed into respect and love. I silently and unilaterally talk to God several times a day and wish He'd get WhatsApp or Twitter to get a response back😊. But that's not how it works. His responses are more subtle.

    Hey Tim, A little off topic here but I see a running theme when you talk about communion/the eucharist. Given that you put a lot of emphasis on the historicity of Christianity. There seems to be a lot of historical relevance in your teaching.
    That said, newer Christian saved and baptized in the past three years. I go to a charismatic church that approaches the eucharist similar to the way you do. However, from everything I've read and heard from the early church fathers, they approach the eucharist with the idea that it truly is the body and blood of Christ. Scripture seems to back this up. I just want to best understand Jesus's intentions for us the church in this remembrance of Him. I want to honor God the best way possible in this.
    Curious of your thoughts and if you have any reference you can point me to for clarity.
    Thanks brother!
