1 | When did Christians start to use altars? | Ex 17:15 | John Reformed | 97911 | ||
The sacrifice was offered upon an altar. Are you saying it was eaten at the altar also? If so, I am unaware that that was the practice. Christ himself instituded the sacrament of communion, not on an altar but at a table. We refer to the Lord's table in protestantism. Rom 8:3 For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, Jesus was not offered up as a sacrifice by man but by God the Father. The cross was a symbol of the altar. When we look at the cross we should think of the Lamb being slain and offered unto God as a propitiation for our sins. When Jesus cried "It is finished" that statement meant the end to all other sacrifices. No sacrifices...no altar. Just the cross and the finished work of Christ are all the sacrifice we will ever need. What other churches say about what their alters mean to them, will not convince me of their necessity or justication. Men have been tinkering with worship since the Fall. I for one do not wish to impose my ideas on true worship. Let God be the judge. John |

Hi John, If we were to practice the ritual of communion as they did in the days of Christ, at the feast, we would first have to go through the foot washing ceremony! Reason being, someone’s stinky feet would be right next to our head because they all laid on very low couches or on the floor on pillows around the room. The depiction that most have of the Last Supper isn’t even close to the way that they use to celebrate feast in those days; they would all lay down in a semicircle so all could be seen and talked to directly. To my knowledge this is not a directive of Scripture but a common practice of the day. Have a great day, CDBJ |

Greetings John! I just wanted to have some fun with you - How do you KNOW that there was no altar in the upper room? ;-) Where does Scripture list the furnishings? I'm sorry my friend - I couldn't resist! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

I thought you went to bed! I once had to carry an old Castro- Convertable bed up to a 3rd floor apartment. I can guarantee that the upper room did not come with an altar! Although, that could explain why the 12 were lying on the floor.........Hmmmmm Maybe I should go to bed! J. |
