The act of eating is a service.

Interesting that Jesus said all that stuff about defilement and this and this and that, and all that came out of his mouth was "forgive forgive forgive forgive forgive forgive forgive forgive no matter what the offense forgive forgive forgive"

Interesting indeed. We take what we need and we leave the rest.

I agree. I wonder how much of the words attributed to Jesus was stuff he actually said, and how much came from his followers who wrote the books. The books were written decades after his death.

But the part about "love your neighbor" and "forgive 70 times 7" is so profound, such higher knowledge, that it had to come from a master. So I think that part must be authentic.
