1 | Receiving Communion if not married | 1 Cor 11:24 | Liz30 | 186097 | ||
I have been happily married for almost 9 years now but I did not get married through the church. I did it through the court. My husband just recently went on a church retreat and is now telling me we should get married and I don't want to becuase we already did but not through the church. I will eventually do it at a later date but I do not want to right now. The reason he's all upset now is because he can not receive Communion. I have benn a Catholic all my life and I still go every Sunday and on special occasions. Can he receive Communion even though he is not married through the Church or does he have to wait? | ||||||

1Co 11:24 - Had given thanks, Eucharistesas. Hence in post-apostolic and patristic writers, Eucharist was the technical term for the Lord's Supper as a sacrifice of thanksgiving for all the gifts of God, especially for the “unspeakable gift,” Jesus Christ. By some of the fathers of the second century the term was sometimes applied to the consecrated elements. The formula of thanksgiving cited in “The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles” is, for the cup first, 'We give thanks to Thee, our Father, for the holy vine of David Thy servant, which Thou hast made known to us through Jesus, Thy servant: to Thee be the glory forever.” And for the bread: “We give thanks to Thee, our Father, for the life and knowledge which Thou hast made known to us through Jesus Thy servant: to Thee be the glory forever. As this broken bread was scattered upon the mountains and, gathered together, became one, so let Thy Church be gathered together from the ends of the earth into Thy Kingdom, for Thine is the glory and the power through Jesus Christ forever.” Brake Bengel says: “The very mention of the breaking involves distribution and refutes the Corinthian plan - every man his own” 1Co.11:21. Do, Be doing or continue doing. In remembrance Strictly, for or with a view to, denoting purpose. These words do not occur in Matthew and Mark. Paul's account agrees with Luke's. Remembrance implies Christ's bodily absence in the future. Marvin R. Vincent's Word Studies, Covenant Parsonage, NY, Oct. 30, 1886 I've read from other commentaries and I find nothing stated about having to be married in a church or outside of a church. This is a remembrance of Christ and His work done for us as individuals and as a people. And remember our God is a God of forgiveness, not condemnation. Hope this helps. (Also, as an apology - This quotation came as a part of a Bible softward program, not from the book proper and I don't have all the publishing info to properly identify.) |

Please pardon, Vincent says basically the same thing as concerns the wine/blood part of the Communion. As far as Scripture proper, there is nowhere that states you have to be married in a church, out of a church or even married. Communion is one of the few observations that our Lord instituted/endorsed Himself - it should be observed as He said, not as some organization deems correct. Cheri |
