ArchivedCommunion: A right way to do it? :: fascinatingfascinating
Whosurdaddy, what is your view of John 6:25-59 and 1 Cor 11:17-34? The latter verses to me mean that the bread and wine are the Body and Blood of Lord Jesus 27 Therefore, 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 A man ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup. 29 For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body of the Lord eats and drinks judgment on himself. 30 That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep. 31 But if we judged ourselves, we would not come under judgment. 32 When we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned with the world. John 6:51, 53-57 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. 53 Jesus asid to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats my flash and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is real food and my my blood is real drink . 56 Whoever eats my flash and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him. 57 Just as the living Father sent me ans I live because of the Faher, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. When I go to receive sacrements, I go because I believe in Lord Jesus' death and resurrection. I prepare myself by fasting after midnight, praying and confessing sin. I believe that He came to save us. For reasons I still don't understand, He loves us that He died for people. I want to be Lord Jesus' friend and I want to live a good Christian life and learn about love and help people. Receiving the Mystery of Communion helps me do that. I guess deep down I believe in both the Real Presense and also that we do it in rememberance of His sacrifice. It was His sacrifice that we are able to be God's friend and to live a good life and to one day be with Him. Without the crucifixion, there is no forgiveness of sins and without the resurrection, there is no victory over death. I see this when I receive His grace and spirit when I receive communion. What are your views on this, whosurdaddy? Peace and Long Life ~~*~~ Epiphany ~~*~~ |
