1 | Physically Correct Communion? | 1 Cor 11:26 | Garathorn | 145606 | ||
Greets all...Noob here. The question I have is regarding the physical form/practice of partaking in the Lord's supper or Communion. I come from a very traditional, 'Protestant' church (though I'm not protesting personally..j/k) and this issue has hit the fan recently amongst our older set as the leadership has tried to spark renewed interest/growth in the church. The church has always used tiny little wafers and a small plastic cup for the 'juice'. We wanted to try a 'break-and-dip' communion service but no dice! The idea hit the wall and the leadership backed down. Don't mean to come off like I don't have an opinion or Biblical angle on the issue...I'm just sincerely looking for additional views/scripture/other resources so I don't get bogged down in my own opinions. Some in our church think to do anything but 'drink' the cup is a one way ticket to hell. Sorry bout the sarcasm...I'm getting tired of the struggle. Tnx Much for any opinions |

2 | Physically Correct Communion? | 1 Cor 11:26 | BradK | 145607 | ||
Hi Garathorn, Scripture doesn't prescribe any particular form for the bread and wine. Certainly, it is within the boundaries of Romans 14 describing Christian liberty. The Lutheran church I grew up in served Communion monthly from a single cup (alcoholic) with wafers. At the Baptist Church in which I was saved, Communion was done once a month with grape juice and small wafers. At the Christian Church I now attend, we serve Communion every week using grape juice and small bits of wafer-like bread. Neither is right or wrong. The importance is to remember the Lord and His substitutionary death per 1 Cor. 11:26. "For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes." I don't know if this helps, but legalism and mans' petty desire to be in control and "have it their way" can cloud a simple ordinance. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
