If these people take communion while harboring this anger they are living in disobedience. "A new commandment I give you "love your neighbor as yourself". If a Christian "interprets" this to mean only their "neighbors in the faith" they are "interpreting" God's word based on a private agenda. Who is our neighbor? Study the parable of the good Samaritan. If any Christian still views gay activists as their enemy and not their neighbor then these Scriptures apply:
I know many gays that are wonderful human beings, They are not the enemy at all . if people hate, they are not christian, God has no room for hate in any ones heart. I know many Baptist, I also know many assured salvation followers we dont agree on doctrine, but I am not angry ,I feel sorry for them and their souls and I tell them that too.
You totaly missed my point.
1 Cor 11:26-31
26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes. 27 Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. 28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For he who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself, if he does not judge the body rightly. 30 For this reason many among you are weak and sick, and a number sleep. 31 But if we judged ourselves rightly, we should not be judged. NAS
The Lord's Supper does not cleanse us from sin. What Paul teaches is that those who take communion while holding iniquity in their hearts eats and drinks judgment not salvation.
