It is one of the rituals we do during Holy Communion. The Communion represents the sacrifice of Christ. Before that, there were Jewish sacrificial services where lambs were killed as a means of purifying those who were present. So the sins of those who believe in Christ are put onto Christ and Christ's death removed those sins. So Communion represents having allowed Christ into your life and taking part in being cleansed of your sins.

What does god say in the New Testament '' Heaven means to be one with God''?

To be one with God means to be in close proximity with Him. That is not to say you will be physically beside God; God is not physical, and neither are the souls of those who have ascended. This could be referring to heaven, not as clouds and all the things you see in movies, but as heaven as it truly is - a closer state to God. Another interpretation of this is that God created us in His own image; our souls that is. Therefore, it is as if we are the same as God in the respect that our souls are completely spiritual in nature. This is opposite to our bodies, which are physical in nature. It would be useful if you could say where exactly in the new testament it says that.


Why did God have Adam kill an innocent lamb?

The Bible doesn't say that "God had Adam kill a lamb". When Adam and Eve disobeyed God and were expelled from Eden God made clothes out of animal skins for them - covering for the guilty ones. Then clothes of skin were provided by God through the death of an animal. This pictures the robe of righteousness which is provided for guilty sinners through the shed blood of Jesus Christ (the Lamb of God), made available to us on the basis of faith.

Who represents the Paschal Lamb in Catholicism?

To be more precise, according to Scripture Jesus is the "Lamb of God". "The next day he (John the Baptist) saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who ranks before me, for he was before me.' " (John Ch 1)Jesus Christ, often called "the Lamb of God" is directly associated with the Paschal Lamb of the Old Testament Pasch. It is more proper to say that the lamb represents Him and not the other way around, for the lamb typified Our Lord and the sacrifice he was to undergo.The title "Lamb of God" is not merely a metaphor, Our Lord really was a sacrificial victim and His death ended the Old Testament sacrifices; His own death permanently satisfied the debt of sin for which the lamb was annually offered. Even the process by which the lamb was prepared was reproduced in the death of Jesus Christ. The lamb had to be without blemish, was bound, brought to the temple, tied to a pillar, killed and drained of blood, was roasted on a spit in the shape of a cross with the forearms outstretched and it was consumed without a bone being broken. For an in-depth look into such details, St. Justin Martyr's works are highly recommended.


What does the Bible say about eating lamb and its significance in religious practices and symbolism?

In the Bible, eating lamb is often associated with religious practices and symbolism. In the Old Testament, lambs were sacrificed as offerings to God, symbolizing atonement for sins. In the New Testament, Jesus is referred to as the "Lamb of God" who sacrificed himself for the salvation of humanity. Therefore, eating lamb can be seen as a reminder of these sacrificial and redemptive themes in Christianity.
