1 | Weekly Communion? | 1 Cor 11:25 | prayon | 4342 | ||
In my translation - New Revised Standard life Application Bible - it has a footnote to verse Acts 20:7 that states "a fellowship dinner- much like a potluck supper was eaten before the Lord's supper was celebrated with the breaking of bread and the drinking of the cup". I'm not sure that this does specifically say that they did communion every week or not. "As often as possible" could also be taken to mean everyday. Luke 22:19 and 1Cor 11:24 say simply "do this in remembrance of me". 1Cor11:25 says "do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me". As I stated before there is no right answer as to how often. It all depends how your particular denomination believes. | ||||||
2 | Weekly Communion? | 1 Cor 11:25 | Tim Sheasby | 22476 | ||
Footnotes are the work of men, not inspired words of God. Read them with caution. However, it would seem that the practice of the day was to partake of the Lord's supper once a week. Does this make it less for those who partake of it? Not for me. It is a weekly reminder of what my Saviour did for me. A weekly celebration of my salvation in Christ. Scripture is not specific on this so we only have early church tradition to go on. I'm going to go with that tradition but certainly can not bind that on anyone else. | ||||||
3 | Weekly Communion? | 1 Cor 11:25 | prayon | 22703 | ||
Some churches partake of the Lord's supper once a week, some partake of it once a month. I repeat what Nicholson said earlier: The main question is not HOW OFTEN we are going to partake but how sincerely and with how much clear understanding we do it is that really matters. prayon | ||||||
