@@garrett2514 its not arguing. Its just showing you to think a little deeper. The beginning of the video explained some the lengths orthodox go to, to dispose of the communion elements. Pouring the leftovers to avoid going into the sewage system??? That proves they dont know what they doing. Because the same elements are eaten, then digested and flushed into the toilet. Whats the difference?? Nothing. Because the bread and cup are symbolic remembrance of what Jesus did. Not eating magic bread to gain eternal life. Thats the same nonsense as the quest for the holy grail. Believing if they can find the same cup that Jesus used, and drinking from it, would grant immortality. Its Gods word , believing it, and living it, thats what gives immortality as a promise by GOD. Righteousness will be imputed unto us thru our belief. Its very simple, without all the useless traditions and mindless rituals. Thats what happened to the pharisees. They.couldnt see the forest for the trees.

In Greek, the Lord quite clearly used two plurals, which the Authorised Bible translates correctly, "Drink ye all of it." The word "ye" is already plural and refers to the people. The word "all" therefore must refer to the contents of the cup/chalice.

Latter-day Saint here. We practice communion (the sacrament) each week and it's the central part of our meeting. We believe it renews our covenants made with God. So if you are not apart of the covenant (not a member of the church) you are still welcomed to participate but we don't believe it has any effect since you're not in the covenant. Members who believe they are unworthy to partake will refuse communion. Or if the Bishop recommends they don't take communion for a few weeks.

Although I come from a tradition with open communion (United Methodist), I was raised in a church in that denomination that practiced closed communion. I hold myself to far stricter rules (must be orthodox in doctrine; must be 21+; must _thereafter_ be immersion-baptized trinitarially; must have been fasting since midnight; must not have any unrepented-of sins on my conscience; must not be "living in open infamy") and if I fail to meet every criterion, I will refuse communion even if it is brought to me, because I consider an inappropriately accepted communion to be an extremely grave act of blasphemy against the Son of God.

From my understanding, this is officially sanctioned, as it was starting to get awkward at the service with so few eligible communicants still alive. So they started reopening up the 144,000 to new people. I think some people who were formerly counted in that number but who have died were given a posthumously boot.

He who eats this bread will live forever.” - John 6:53-58 22 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.” 23 Then He took the cup, and when He had given thanks He gave it to them, and they all drank from it. 24 And He said to them, “This is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many. - Mark 14:22-24

It is the power Holy Spirit whom proceeds from the Father and sent to us by the Son. God gave himself to us through his Spirit. By the participation of the Spirit, we become communicants in the divine nature. For this reason, those in whom the Spirit dwells are divinized.

The one communion practice that I have seen and am strongly opposed to was a whole other definition of open communion. The churches i grew up around had open communion meaning to all Christians, but the open communion I saw was it was literally open to anyone and everyone, Christian, non Christian, small children with grubby hands just greedily wanting a snack, and anyone in active sin. No one was excluded or deterred from partaking. I simply couldn’t return to that church because I found the practice so sacrilegious.

You forgot one point unless I missed it which is how it’s administered and what is used for bread and wine. I have seen so many ways. I visited a Catholic Church where everyone drank 1 sip from the same large fancy goblet and the people would open their mouths and the priest would stick his fingers in their mouths to give them the wafer. I have seen some to just get regular loaf bread, haphazardly tear it up, put it on a plate as the bread but most churches will not use leaven in the bread. I’ve seen broken saltine crackers used. I’ve seen a homemade loaf of bread made where people walk by and pinch off a piece. I have seen special wafers with a cross used. Of course I have seen both wine and grape juice used. I have seen the elements passed around as people sat in their seats and I have seen people go to the priest to be served and others go to the front of the church to serve themselves.

I wonder what a JW would do if someone started to take the communion? Would they stop them and explain it’s only for the 144000 ? But what if the person said they are part of the 144,000 would the JW just have to be silent?
@EatHoneyBeeHappy
@EatHoneyBeeHappy 11 ай бұрын
Good question! The Jehovah's Witness would not try to stop them for a couple reasons. First, all the 144,000 are already dead and ruling in Heaven with Jesus, so very few JW would believe someone saying they are among the 144,000. This means that everyone not among the 144,000 partaking in communion is just expressing thanks for the sacrifice of Jesus. The second reason a JW would not try to stop them is because of the many Christian denominations, Quakers and Jehovah's Witnesses are among the least violent. Unlike the Catholics in 2014 who used physical force to prevent someone taking their communion, a JW would just let it happen, because they understand John 15:19 and expect unbelievers around the world to hate them.

Transubstantiation is a false doctrine because Jesus is not a liar: In Mt 26:29 after Jesus had said, "this is my blood" and prayed, he still referred to the contents as, "fruit of the vine". If transubstantiation of the juice into blood had occurred, as both Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches say it was at this time, then Jesus would never have referred to it as "fruit of the vine' but rather "blood". This proves that when Jesus said "take eat & drink" he LITERALLY gave them bread and juice. In like manner, Paul also refers to the elements of the Lord's Supper as "eat this bread and drink the cup" in 1 Cor 11:26 after they should be transubstantiated. 1 Cor 11:26-27 proves transubstantiation wrong because Paul calls the loaf, "bread" after both Roman Catholics and Orthodox say the "change" was supposed to take place. Catholics make Paul a liar by calling the loaf "bread" rather than what Catholic false doctrine claims it was: Literal Flesh. In 1 Corinthians 11:25, Jesus said literally that the "cup was the covenant". So which is it? Is the it the juice that is the covenant or the juice that is the blood? Is it the cup that is the covenant or is the cup the blood? In 1 Cor 11:26-28, Paul instructs us to "drink the cup" instead of "drink the blood". The Holy Spirit would not use such a figure of speech as "synecdoche" (referring to a part for the whole) if such a literal transubstantiation was actually taking place. To use a symbol when such a literal change is taking place is unthinkable. Transubstantiation is a false doctrine because Jesus instituted Lord's Supper before his blood was shed and body broken! He spoke of His blood being shed, which was still yet future. This proves it was a symbol. The very record of historically, (Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Tertullian, Cyprian and Hippolytus) which the Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches love to quote as authority, proves that before 200 AD, the church viewed the bread and juice as symbols. Conversely, the earliest historical hint of transubstantiation was in the 4th century. Obviously Jesus words, "this is my body" should be taken symbolically because it falls within a long list of symbolic statements Christ said: "I am the bread," (John 6:41), "I am the vine," (John 15:5), "I am the door," (John 10:7,9), "I am the good shepherd,"(John 10:11,12), "You are the world the salt, (Matthew 5:13), "You are the light of the world the salt, (Matthew 5:14) The apostasy of withholding the Cup: Roman Catholics, in the 1415 AD Council of Constance, decreed that the laity could no longer drink of the cup, but the bread alone. This is completely contrary to Scripture and the earliest church traditions. Jesus' own words are "drink from it, all of you" Matthew 26:26 and in Mark 14:22-23 it says "He gave it to them, and they all drank from it." The Greek Orthodox church does not withhold the juice. The Greek orthodox church violates the Bible pattern by using leavened bread, whereas Roman Catholics use unleavened bread, just as Jesus did, (Matthew 26:17) and the Bible records in 1 Cor 5:7-8. Both Roman Catholic and Greek orthodox churches violate the Bible pattern by using leavened wine, instead of unleavened grape juice. The Greek orthodox church violates the Bible pattern by using a "communion spoon" to dip into the cup to retrieve some wine-soaked bread. The Bible pattern for the Lord's Supper is that the bread and juice are not combined, but are two separate steps of "Holy communion".

In Luke it’s the other way around and Luke even says he is to give an “orderly account” of events. Even if Jesus did say “fruit of the vine” after consecration, it’s likely the case that he was describing the accidens rather than the essence as that’s what our senses perceive. Just because a weatherman says “the sun will rise at 5 am” it doesn’t mean he actually thinks the sun rises - it’s just what we perceive. It could also be the case that Jesus is referring to it as what it was beforehand, similar to how Eve is called the bone of Adam. In the end, we don’t know for certain what Jesus was referring to in this line, however we do know that it doesn’t disprove the abundant evidence for the true substantial change of the bread and wine.

When you slur the contraction "can't", is sounds the same a "can". No one will be offended if you simply cultivate a habit of saying "cannot" in you videos. Although you usually slur "can" as "kn", when you pronounce it carefully, we are left wondering if you were slurring "can't" again. Perhaps in stead of "can or can't" you could learn some English alternatives such as "(not) allowed to"?

This "Close Communion" stuff is new to me and I got to say it horrifies me, as the bible has several verses clearly stating that no one should be left out, if they are a member, which, if you are in communion, you are. Even the phrase "in communion" derives from this. I don't know why it horrifies me so much compared to the other stuff, that I consider sacrilegious, but it somehow does, cause it feels like they are so close to understanding, yet not there at all.

You need to read what the Bible says. 1 Corinthians 11. "27 So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. 28 Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. 29 For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves. 30 That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep. 31 But if we were more discerning with regard to ourselves, we would not come under such judgment. 32 Nevertheless, when we are judged in this way by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be finally condemned with the world."

I think my childhood church got it right in that it was open communion BUT everyone was admonished with Scripture reading about examining oneself before partaking. Then the pastor would explain the scriptures and tell everyone if one’s heart wasn’t right or they were living in active sin they should refrain as well as all none Christians. We were then given a moment of silence to pray and examine our own hearts so the it was between us and God of who should partake and who should refrain. I am sure if someone had been known to be in active sin and partook, I believe the pastor would have discussed it with them privately at another time but to my knowledge we never had that problem.

For example, confessional Lutherans, which are more or less the original Protestants practice the sacrament pretty much the same way as Catholics, but hold a different theological view on what happens during the Sacrament.

Every Protestant denomination from coast to coast or from one end of the Earth to the other, is not the Church created by Jesus. See Matt 16:18. He created One Church, His Church is the "pillar and foundation of truth". See 1 Tim 3:15. Also, his Church is the Final Authority (not the Bible Alone, which is an unbiblical heresy). See Matt 18:15-18. In 107AD, St Ignatius, a Bishop in his Church, wrote a letter calling it "Catholic" meaning Universal. The name stuck. His Church has been united in its beliefs from the beginning. When people like Wycliffe, Luther, and Calvin came along, The Church was fractured by their misleading and False teachings, which they had No Authority to teach. Now you have tens of thousands of Protestant (as in Protest), "churches" all believing different doctrines, yet reading the same Bible, which the Catholic Church created and gave to the world. "Bible Alone" is false. "Faith Alone" is false. "Once Saved Always Saved" is false. And there are plenty of other false teachings also.

Jesus says, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” Upon hearing these words, many of Jesus’ followers said, “This is a hard teaching” (verse 60), and many of them actually stopped following Him that day (verse 66). Jesus’ graphic imagery about eating His flesh and drinking His blood is indeed puzzling at first. Context will help us understand what He is saying. As we consider everything that Jesus said and did in John 6, the meaning of His words becomes clearer. Earlier in the chapter, Jesus fed the 5,000 (John 6:1-13). The next day, the same multitudes continued to follow Him, seeking another meal. Jesus pointed out their short-sightedness: they were only seeking physical bread, but there was something more important: “Food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you” (verse 27). At this point, Jesus attempts to turn their perspective away from physical sustenance to their true need, which was spiritual. This contrast between physical food and spiritual food sets the stage for Jesus’ statement that we must eat His flesh and drink His blood. Jesus explains that it is not physical bread that the world needs, but spiritual bread. Jesus three times identifies Himself as that spiritual bread (John 6:35, 48, 51). And twice He emphasizes faith (a spiritual action) as the key to salvation: “My Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life” (verse 40); and “Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life” (verse 47). Jesus then compares and contrasts Himself to the manna that Israel had eaten in the time of Moses: “Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die” (John 6:49-50). Like manna, Jesus came down from heaven; and, like manna, Jesus gives life. Unlike manna, the life Jesus gives lasts for eternity (verse 58). In this way, Jesus is greater than Moses (see Hebrews 3:3). Having established His metaphor (and the fact that He is speaking of faith in Him), Jesus presses the symbolism even further: “I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever; and this bread, which I will offer so the world may live, is my flesh. . . . I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you cannot have eternal life within you. But anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life. . . . My flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him. . . . Anyone who feeds on me will live because of me” (John 6:51-56, NLT). To prevent being misconstrued, Jesus specifies that He has been speaking metaphorically: “The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you-they are full of the Spirit and life” (John 6:63). Those who misunderstood Jesus and were offended by His talk about eating His flesh and drinking His blood were stuck in a physical mindset, ignoring the things of the Spirit. They were concerned with getting another physical meal, so Jesus uses the realm of the physical to teach a vital spiritual truth. Those who couldn’t make the jump from the physical to the spiritual turned their backs on Jesus and walked away (verse 66). At the Last Supper, Jesus gives a similar message and one that complements His words in John 6-when the disciples gather to break bread and drink the cup, they “proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes” (1 Corinthians 11:26). In fact, Jesus said that the bread broken at the table is His body, and the cup they drink is the new covenant in His blood, shed for the forgiveness of sins (Matthew 26:26-28). Their act of eating and drinking was to be a symbol of their faith in Christ. Just as physical food gives earthly life, Christ’s sacrifice on the cross gives heavenly life. Some people believe that the bread and wine of communion are somehow transformed into Jesus’ actual flesh and blood, or that Jesus somehow imbues these substances with His real presence. These ideas, called transubstantiation (professed by the Catholic and Orthodox churches) and consubstantiation (held by Lutherans), ignore Jesus’ statement that “the flesh counts for nothing” (John 6:63). The majority of Protestants understand that Jesus was speaking metaphorically about His flesh and blood and hold that the bread and wine are symbolic of the spiritual bond created with Christ through faith. In the wilderness testing, the devil tempts Jesus with bread, and Jesus answers, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God’” (Matthew 4:4, quoting Deuteronomy 8:3). The implication is that the bread is God’s Word and that is what sustains us. Jesus is called the Word of God who came to earth and was made flesh (John 1:14). The Word of God is also the Bread of Life (John 6:48). The book of Hebrews references the way that God uses the physical things of this earth as a way to help us understand and apply spiritual truth. Hebrews 8:5 says that some tangible things are “a copy and shadow of what is in heaven,” and that chapter explains how the Old Covenant, so concerned with physical rites and ceremonies, was replaced by the New Covenant in which God’s laws are written on our hearts (verse 10; cf. Jeremiah 31:33). Hebrews 9:1-2 says, “The first covenant had regulations for worship and also an earthly sanctuary. A tabernacle was set up. In its first room were the lampstand and the table with its consecrated bread; this was called the Holy Place.” According to Hebrews 8:5, the consecrated bread, or the “bread of the Presence,” was a physical representation of a spiritual concept, namely, the actual presence of God being continually with us today. The physical tent of meeting has been replaced by a spiritual temple of God (1 Corinthians 3:16), and the physical bread of the Presence has become the spiritual bread that abides within us through the Holy Spirit. When Jesus said we must “eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood” (John 6:53), He spoke, as He often did, in parabolic terms. We must receive Him by faith (John 1:12). “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled” (Matthew 5:6). We understand that we need physical food and drink; Jesus wants us to understand that we also need spiritual food and drink-and that is what His sacrifice provides.
