#73 Supersubstantial In The Parabolic Leaven

Supersubstantial in the Parabolic Leaven The idea of the Supersubstantial appears a number of times in the Book of Matthew. I’ve already written much on Matthew 6:9-13 the First Petition of the Lords Prayer, where what has commonly been interpreted as ‘daily’ bread is revealed as ‘supersubstantial‘ bread.

For centuries Church Christianity has worked very hard to bury this and convince the world that it actually refers to a place – that is, a magical fairy-like place that you will go to when you die if you are faithful and obedient to the Church in life.
