1 | Why worship on resurrection day? | Ex 20:10 | MJH | 140469 | ||
Point well taken. I did not spend near enough time on the last post and should have been more careful. I had to shovel snow from 4:30 am until 7 am and then had to wait to do Christmas Eve breakfast with my family. Soooo, I was tired and killing time reading the forum; but no excuse. Anyway, my reason behind the "this" referring to Passover, was when Jesus (not Paul) said, Luk 22:19 And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me." Luk 22:20 And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood. So the “Do this” would refer to what Jesus was actually doing at the time with the Bread and the Wine. And we know that the first church and Apostles also broke bread “in remembrance” on a regular bases, and not just during the Passover. But, I still think that Jesus may have been refereeing to both the “communion” sacrament, as well as the Passover. I will not stand firm on that since I do not have time to spend analyzing the Greek text right now, being that it is only 3 minutes from Christmas day and I will be shoveling snow again at 4:00 am and rushing home to be there before the kids wake up! Thanks for putting me in my place in such a humorous way. I certainly plan to study the liturgical year and have been planning to do so. Any good book or starting point would be appreciated. MJH |

Hi, MJH... I'm glad I came across well to you! After re-reading my post I had worried that my good natured tone might have sounded sarcastic. It is difficult to get some of that non-verbal stuff to convey properly on here sometimes. Great exegesis there! I can see the argument when you look at Luke 22. I hope you won't mind, however, if I challange you to properly integrate 1 Corinthians 11 into your argument (if possible). Paul was clearly speaking of the same incident as Luke described. (And don't forget that Luke and Paul were close companions.) 1 Corinthians 11:20 to the end of the chapter is an explicit dydactic discussion of communion. Paul gives clear explanation of what ought to be normative behavior for the church. (Too bad he didn't go into more detail and lots of us might be able to decide some of the stuff that we all argue about!) To me, that 11th chapter is a real sticky wicket for your argument to work. Again, however, I must assure you that I agree with your conclusions. So this is just an exercise in determining the suitability of the antecedent argument to support those conclusions. Wow, brother... you deserve a lot of credit with all the snow plowing! Here in St. Charles we have all the cold but none of the snow. It is 15 degrees at my house right now! Merry Christmas! In Him, Doc PS for the Liturgical Calendar stuff, see the posts between Ammaus and I during your snow shoveling. Be sure you get a balanced view of each of the sources you find. You'll find they each of axes to grind, so that comes out in their interpretation. I'm excited to see what you uncover! Merry Christmas again! |
