2 | Weekly Communion? | 1 Cor 11:25 | prayon | 4255 | ||
There is no mention in the bible on how often we should partake of the Lord's Supper or Communion. Just as there is many different views as to what you are partaking of, (ie., for catholics the elements become the blood and body of Christ, for Lutherans they take on the characteristics, for Presbyterians they have no physical changes but have spiritual changes and for the Baptists it is all symbolic) different religions interpret how often you should partake of it. Sorry I couldn't give you a more definitive answer. prayon |

3 | Weekly Communion? | 1 Cor 11:25 | Nicholson | 4266 | ||
We are commanded to Partake in the Lord's Table TO REMEMBER THE LORD. It has to be done as often as possible. It was the custom of certain early disciples to come together to break bread on the First Day of the week as we read in Acts 20:7. It is therefore good to remember Him and adore Him through partaking in the Lord's Table on all Sundays. |

In my translation - New Revised Standard life Application Bible - it has a footnote to verse Acts 20:7 that states "a fellowship dinner- much like a potluck supper was eaten before the Lord's supper was celebrated with the breaking of bread and the drinking of the cup". I'm not sure that this does specifically say that they did communion every week or not. "As often as possible" could also be taken to mean everyday. Luke 22:19 and 1Cor 11:24 say simply "do this in remembrance of me". 1Cor11:25 says "do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me". As I stated before there is no right answer as to how often. It all depends how your particular denomination believes. | ||||||
5 | Weekly Communion? | 1 Cor 11:25 | Nicholson | 4640 | ||
We should remember the great sacrifice of the Cross of Calvary as often as possible. This was accomplished on our behalf by God whose love is beyond our understanding. When we remember His death we worship and adore Him and offer thanks giving. On a proper understanding in these lines, now we have to decide for ourselves HOW OFTEN we are going to do it. It is not HOW OFTEN but how sincerely and with how much clear understanding we do it is that really matters. |
