| 1 | real presence or symbolic presence? | 1 Cor 10:16 | dschaertel | 3528 | ||
| I guess this doesn't really address the scripture I am referring to. In 1Corintians 10:16 the word for bless means to consecrate with solemn prayer. Why on earth would we need to consecrate a symbol that we do not expect to have any real effect for us? The word for sharing is the word koinania. If we say that this word is only some kind of symbolic sharing and not a real presence then our understading of the presence of the Holy Spirit must also be symbolic. That would make the Church itself only symbolic. Is this what we are to believe? It seems to me that to understand the bread and wine as only symbolic elements is to mock the very presence of God. Isn't that why Paul said that some are sick or even dead? Can a symbol kill us? |

| 2 | real presence? | 1 Cor 11:29 | dschaertel | 3233 | ||
| You mention "recognizing the body of the Lord". This sounds like we should take note of the real presence of the Lord's body and blood. Also, you say that "examine himself" means to confess. In the broader context, isn't this scripture about heresy and idol worship? It seems to me that the purpose of this is to tell us we should NOT view the elements in any other way than as the true blood and body of Christ. If we do we eat and drink judgement on ourselves. | ||||||
