You want me to say that I don't know if I have such a communion nor can I understand what it even means. Don't you!
No, not at all. I have never asked you to do that or even suggested you should do that.

I will say that it (the communion) is a blessed hope.
Okay, but what does that even mean? Do you mean you hope you are actually having some communion?

Christianity has almost nothing to do with Jesus and Jesus was never a Christian anyway.
But I'm a Christian.
Most likely that is a result of family and environment but ultimately it's still a matter of personal decision.
Explain to me how you would want to decide to be a Christian if Jesus was not a Christian?
What does the fact the Jesus was never a Christian have to do with the religion named after Jesus? Jesus was born a Jew, raised as a Jew, preached to Jews, lived as a Jew, tried to reform Judaism and died as a Jew.
Christianity evolved, was created by many many people over a period of hundreds of years after Jesus died.
I explained my membership to you many times. I was raised in a Christian family and educated in a Christian environment and have spent all of my life within that movement. It's not so much a matter of what I want as what I was exposed to and a life path that at least for me makes sense. A call to try to do what I can for those around me simply makes sense.

Re: Maps,Territories,and personal decisions
Phat, why don't your responses ever relate to what you are replying.
Who Jesus was, how Jesus lived and who Jesus preached to has nothing to do with what Jesus preached. How many times have I pointed you toward Luke 4?
Luke 4 writes:
25 But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;
26 But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.
27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.
28 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,
Jesus pissed the Jews off by pointing out that they are NOT the Chosen people. If Jesus were here today I imagine he would piss off most Christians by pointing out that they too are not the Chosen people.

live long and accumulate
And happened long ago for some species like planarian worms, bristle cone pines, some aspen and some jellyfish plus clonal critters like Hydras and even lobsters. Even immortals though can be killed, they just don't die of old age.
