1 | Matthew Chap.4 verse 2 | NT general Archive 1 | Reformer Joe | 25826 | ||
Joe: I would think that the Lord's supper would supersede your fast for a couple of reasons: 1. Even though it is eating and drinking, it isnot so much for physical nourishment as it is for spiritual nourishment. In many Christian traditions, communion is considered a means of grace, which serves to strengthen one's faith. Therefore, the Lord's supper could actually help your fast in a very real and spiritual way by "feeding on Christ by faith." 2. I don't know about your communion service, but the actual physical nourishment I get from the bread and wine is so little as to be inconsequential. Like Hank said, I don't think there is a specific passage on whether to partake of the Lord's supper during a fast, but I do not think that you would be eating and drinking judgment unto yourself. Of course, if it troubles your conscience, you are not morally bound to partake of it. Hope this helps! --Joe! (not you, the other one) |

Hi Joecash.......I'm with Hank and Joe on this...I do not see any direct scriputural reference about this so it would be up to your own convictions (as Hank said) and you are obviously wanting to do the right thing and asking for wisdom about it. I do not see taking communion as breaking your fast. I am on a fast right now and had communion on sunday and it didn't even occur to me NOT to take communion. Peace my brother......Hugger |
