1 | Communion, how often? | 1 Cor 11:25 | JonnyRay49423 | 4195 | ||
When it comes to how many times we should have the Lord's Supper during the course of one year I find there is no agreement among Christians. In out church (Dutch Reformed) we have the Lord's Supper 2 Sunday in March,June, September, December and Good Friday-so that adds up to five times a year-I personally would like to have it more often-but in our church Communion is a big event-the week before Communion there is a sermon preached to prepare us for coming Communion-we also read a long theological tract titled "Celebration Of The Lord's Supper"-in our church we practice close communion-we bar the Lord's Supper from unbelievers and children-we stress before the bread and wine are passed out that one must take heed to the warnings of the apostle Paul concerning the serious of partaking of the Lord's Supper if one is living in sin etc. . .-Communion Sunday is a long service-so maybe it is good to have it five times a year-I suppose we (Dutch Reformed) have a high mystical view of the Lord's Supper where as others take a light view of the Lord's Supper and do not make a big deal of it and treat it like a picnic. | ||||||

Dear JonnyRay, A great answer! I agree about the exclusion of unbelievers and children. I understand not wanting to offend people, but it is ludicrous to share that which is holy with a nonbeliever. Also, wanting to 'bless' kids is one thing, but often these kids grow up with no respect for communion because of familiarity. Thank you for your reply. In Christ Jesus, charis |

3 | Communion, how often? | 1 Cor 11:25 | melchizedekau | 4320 | ||
hello charris me again just to raise a few quiries of this statement 1 corin 11:26 says as oft as we eat this bread and drink this cup we proclaim the Lords death till he comes.i want to do this as much as possible. dont you? The word proclaim means to announce or cry out. cry out what? The Good news! here is also a point why stop strangers in partaking of the proclaiming of the Good news.also Children they need to know . the Bible says if we teach our children when they are young the will not depart when they are older,the Word is nigh thee and even in thy mouth. i guess you have not seen the pass over eaten in a traditional way ,all the family eats as well as strangers, if they believed ,ie,had to be cicumcised, exodus 12:48. all the children ate and all the family verse 26.but this is law.We are not under the law.We have a new covenant.so it is just a thought.YIC | ||||||
4 | Communion, how often? | 1 Cor 11:25 | Radioman | 4387 | ||
The original question is: How often should communion be taken (received)? How does Passover relate to the original question? Since Passover is observed only ONCE a year, does that mean you think communion should be served only ONCE a year? | ||||||
5 | Communion, how often? | 1 Cor 11:25 | melchizedekau | 4397 | ||
The communion is passover, for us. As oft as we eat this bread and drink this cup ,we proclaim the Lords death.The Blood of the Lamb! Verse 18 is the start of a rebuke in chapter 11 and in context is talking about comming together as a church. The Question must be asked, what does communion represent? why was instituted.? How does it effect us now? and Where is Jesus in this? Have you not ever wondered why the servings are so small? This rebuke in corin 11 has alot to do with it. Bless you.YIC | ||||||
