    I think you are right. I'm switching (repenting) to dressed eggs.

    Seriously? Well, I have confessed that I am a sinner, and those deviled eggs sure do taste good....And the Chocolate Devils Food cake. Mmmmmm, MM!
    With that said, what is the true origin of the names of these foods?

    I knew someone would eventually take that verse out of it's proper context, and yet once more misapply it.

    It is proper context. Figure of speech has to be separated from literal meaning. Indeed, just like the verse below:


    "30.In the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in Heaven."" Matthew 22.30.


    And so similar will happen with our physical food. Physical food is only good for physical world, the spiritual food, the Word of GOD, the Bible, is good for physical and spiritual worlds.


    When Jesus mentioned that He will drink a new wine in the Kingdom of GOD, He meant the character of the upright and godly spirit with all its good qualities. We can compare it to the last Passover of Christ when He said to His disciples to drink His blood.


    Because the soul of all living things in its blood, and the Soul of Christ contain perfect qualities of righteousness and godliness, and all those who drink His Soul (blood, figuratively speaking), His Soul will be in those who drank it, replacing his/her own souls with the Soul of Christ, obtaining and possessing His spirituality, the qualities of His character and personality.


    Same thing can be said about bread that Christ broke and gave to His disciples. Bread (symbolically) represents physical Body of Christ, and all good physical deeds He had done for the people He met. In other words, those who "ate" His Body (bread) inherited His good physical deeds of His Body and doing good deeds just like Christ did.


    So as you can see, the blood of Christ and His body (metaphorically speaking) represent His personality and His good physical deeds on Earth.


    And so the same with "physical food" which is a metaphor and aphorism, and which have no place in the spiritual world, but actually represent only a great joy in the Holy Spirit of GOD, and that is only our food will be in Heaven (Kingdom) of GOD. Sorry to disappoint you, prepare your shacks ahead of time.
