1 | Why is communion a sin for sinners? | Luke 22:19 | keliy | 210573 | ||
I went to a non-denom church on "Communion Sunday" that said if you were not right with God, please refrain from participating in the breaking of bread. A denominational church said All were welcome, -except those without a right relationship with God. Q: If someone had un-confessed sin, would it be wrong for them to do break bread in remembrance of our Savior's sacrifice for our redemption? |

Dear Keliy: It sounds very much to me that the non denominational and the denominational Church were both saying the same thing, only just putting the words in a different order. When we partake in The Lord's Super, we are certainly supposed to have a conversation with God, search ourselves, ask God to search us, and of course to the best of our knowledge, make sure we are not doing this with unconfessed sin. I personally can't imagine someone having communion with God without doing this. In short, yes, it would be wrong. God bless John |

Thank you John, your answer is understood. But Jesus, while on the earth did not say such things. In your post, you say, "of course to the best of our knowledge, make sure we are not doing this with unconfessed sin" But, is there a verse in Scripture that says Not to 'Do this in remembrance of Me' while there is the stain of unconfessed sin upon our heart. I am perplexed about this because Jesus did not spend much time reaching out to religious leaders, but He mostly was reaching and teaching sinners and tax collectors. That is why I am perplexed about why our religious leaders today, our beloved ministers, would not want to allow someone to share in the breaking of bread, in remembrance of our Lord's sacrificial death. Yet at the Last Supper, Jesus did break bread with Judas, and there could possibly have been some others who did have unconfessed sin, but since the Bible is silent on this, I might argue that they were not condemned by Jesus either way. "Neither do I condemn you, now go, and sin no more. So, unconfessed sin is very possibly a different arena than unrepentant sin. The Lord knoweth the heart. In Him, keliy |

Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord. Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself. That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died. But if we judged ourselves truly, we would not be judged. But when we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined so that we may not be condemned along with the world. (1 Corinthians 11:27-32 ESV) "All ignorant and ungodly persons, as they are unfit to enjoy communion with Christ, so are they unworthy of the Lord's table, and cannot, without great sin against Him, while they remain such, partake of these holy mysteries, or be admitted thereunto; yea, whosoever shall receive unworthily, are guilty of the body and blood of the Lord, eating and drinking judgment to themselves. (2 Corinthians 6:14, 15; 1 Corinthians 11:29; Matthew 7:6)" --1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith, chapter 30, paragraph 8 |
