1 | Physically Correct Communion? | 1 Cor 11:26 | Garathorn | 145604 | ||
Greets all...Noob here. The question I have is regarding the physical form/practice of partaking in the Lord's supper or Communion. I come from a very traditional, 'Protestant' church (though I'm not protesting personally..j/k) and this issue has hit the fan recently amongst our older set as the leadership has tried to spark renewed interest/growth in the church. The church has always used tiny little wafers and a small plastic cup for the 'juice'. We wanted to try a 'break-and-dip' communion service but no dice! The idea hit the wall and the leadership backed down. Don't mean to come off like I don't have an opinion or Biblical angle on the issue...I'm just sincerely looking for additional views/scripture/other resources so I don't get bogged down in my own opinions. Some in our church think to do anything but 'drink' the cup is a one way ticket to hell. Sorry bout the sarcasm...I'm getting tired of the struggle. Tnx Much for any opinions |

2 | Physically Correct Communion? | 1 Cor 11:26 | EdB | 145611 | ||
Garathorn I'm very interested in your thoughts on how modifying communion may "spark interest/growth within the church. Personally I don’t have any problem with most of the various ways communion is served as long as it is done with the proper attitude. I’m interested in things that people feel generate interest/growth in the church. Please either express your thoughts here on the forum or contact me through E-mail Justaned@yahoo.com . I’m very interested in your ideas EdB |

I concur with srbaegon. I also understand Garathom's encounter with his congregation opposing to change the tradition. One time my pastor proposed to use real wine (actually it was wine diluted with juice) and it made some jump. So he withdrew the idea. Since we are on the subject... I know some churches allow only ordained ministers to preside the Communion. Would anyone oppose if non-ordained Christian preside the Communion? If you oppose, pls explain your biblical reason. Thanks. iktoose |

4 | Physically Correct Communion? | 1 Cor 11:26 | Garathorn | 145629 | ||
Well...you could begin a discussion about the idea of 'ordination'. I think we're all 'a royal priesthood'...we're all ordained, as followers, to serve at the 'temple' of Christ; ie The Body of Christ..the Church. I can understand people being gun-shy about using wine (though I could argue for it, I don't choose to fight that battle) but serving is everyone's right/responsibility. imho. |
