Why We Do Communion - 1 Corinthians

[@theoffensivegamer9943]

I want a good church like this so bad...

[@shawndevin9751]

What happen to you?

[@katebee945]

I'm watching this after inviting some sisters into my house to share the gospel. They basically said that if I wasn't taking communion on the day of Passover once a year, I wasn't saved and that everyone who attends church on Sunday rather than the sabbath is also not saved. It was hugely upsetting even if they meant well.

Thank you so much for this message.

This is such a blessing!

Jesus said this is my body, this is my blood. But so many don’t believe it is his body and blood even though Jesus said it was.

[@adrianmiller7506]

So, by doing so, that would actually have been a sin.

[@cliffordclaypool2875]

When he said that- and shared the first ever holy communion, his body had not yet been broken, and his blood had not yet been shed. So clearly the first communion, at least, was figurative, like when he said that He is the vine, gate, light, lamb etc. I believe he was clarifying that the bread and wine that they ate for passover year after year was actually representative of his body and blood. He was giving clarity to something that Israel had been doing in the symbol of his future sacrifice. What they were doing at the table was passover he took that symbolic activity and said I'm it. I'm what you have been waiting for.

Its true what he says about not taking communion when you have isues that needs sorting out. I was once under heavy conviction before taking comunion and the pastor told me to takr it anyway. He meant well. But i didnt enjoy it... I should've listened to The Spirit that day

“Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions on the grace of Jesus Christ which has come to us, and see how contrary their opinions are to the mind of God. . . . They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, flesh which suffered for our sins and which that Father, in his goodness, raised up again. They who deny the gift of God are perishing in their disputes” (Letter to the Smyrnaeans 6:2-7:1 [A.D. 110]). Saint Ignatius

So much leaven within churches today... And the sad part is nobody even notices.

[@robertrutter4056]

You speak eloquently about the history of the church, and show many tangible connections between Christians. And so many physical things to do, sacrifice correctly, blood on the lintel. Don't break the bones. Dress correctly. No symbols. No analogies. No repesentation. All of our church history points to obedience to our God through actions and means. And our response isn't symbolic. We give our tithes. We hug the sad. We teach our children. So many physical means.... we long to be with our Savior, to shake His hand, to receive a hug from Jesus. Yes, some day. In the mean time, some of us take the 2 most precious gifts our Lord has given to us and degrade them to the level of symbolism and obediant acts of faith? Jesus said His Body and Blood are there given to us! HOW PRECIOUS is this gift. Paul back this up describing Communion as a participation and that Christ is then IN us. How can those passages be ignored? I'm sorry. You speak very well and i enjoy listening.

No levain a week before was so that nothing else would rise before Jesus 🤪

[@ranospiteri5776]

If the Eucharist is just a meal, then the Crucifixion (Calvary) is just an execution

[@orandegellogaming4793]

Alright, nice words but can you give a verse that supports this claim

[@robertrutter4056]

1 Corinthians 10:21.

[@cliffordclaypool2875]

No correlation

[@ranospiteri5776]

The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass was prophesied in Malach 1:11

[@markp2023]

You're caught up in a contradiction, go back to the Bible many scriptures on communion I raise up the cup of salvation, if it's just grape juice like you Protestants say is why would Christ say I raise up the cup of salvation why would he call it a cup of salvation and raising it up meaning we will be raised up as well at the last day..... When Christ completed his sacrifice he left us a blessing.. according to the book of Malachi there is a new sacrifice and a new priesthood in the New testament nobody's resacraficeing Jesus he's left us a blessing, a salvation blessing.. and so if you Protestants preach what you have preached from the 1950s on we believe in a literal interpretation of the holy Bible well it's not true because of any other areas you call everything symbolic that's paganism symbols come from pagans we don't mention that word there's nothing symbolic in the holy book you talk about death a lot comes out of your mouth symbolism and etcetera, you always preached be careful what you speak because the tongue is a weapon well you keep preaching and talking about saints are desd know God told me the next time you say that is tell them I am the god of the living not the Dead the saints are well in heaven the Bible is a spiritual book when you call the saints are dead you're dead wrong there is no word symbol in my Bible not even in the notes below or any place in my Bible does it mention the word symbol or symbolism or symbolic that's one of your favorite things to erase the scriptures with everything is symbols... 0:00 0:00 0:00 ps. Know where in the Bible does it say grape juice and crackers, it says wine and unleavened bread.. you're not scriptural

[@markp2023]

You're not defending the Christian faith, you're defending the Protestant faith. What happened since the 1950s the Protestants said it a million times we believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible well then if that is true when it says this is my body, this is my blood then that's what Jesus m e a n s. When he says he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood, I will raise him up on the last day, this is resurrection food. Mike you're having a fake meal not the spiritual food has the holy book says, the holy book says there are three foods, first the food people eat second the supernatural food Mana at the Angels a t e and the spiritual food the holy book says so Mike if it's a spiritual food how come you're saying there's nothing here it's just a reminder of Jesus. The holy book says truly this is my body and truly this is my blood, but Mike says no it's not your body it's not your blood true Christianity in the First Christian Church always taught it's the body of blood of Jesus 15 centuries later some of protestantism changed it with their private interpretation of the Holy scriptures in which Jesus said no prophecy of scripture is to be interpreted by One's Own Private spirit!!

[@davidmccarroll8274]

A question regarding communion ( Eucharist ) After years of animal sacrifices prior to Christ Jesus is the one and only perfect lamb that was crucified once and for all for all sin past present and future .If you are eating the literal body and drinking the literal blood then Christ is not being sacrificed once and for all on the cross .My question .How do you overcome the contradiction of a perfect lamb having a single sacrifice and a communion with the ongoing sacrifice over 2000 years ? Thanks and God bless !!!
