1 | Is Holy Communion for baptised believers | 1 Cor 11:27 | electionresults | 109376 | ||
Everybody is wrong on this issua as Philip Yancey points out in his book 'What's So Amazing About Grace'. Communion is the body and blood of Christ . If you are catholic; The Body , Blood, Soul And Divinity of Jesus Christ is contained in that rite. If you are Protestant it represents His Body and Blood. Either way Christians hold that Jesus shed his blood for the sinner, his body cricified for even the worst of sins. How can you uphold this yet deny the sinner in need of redemption and grace the body and blood that represents that redemption and dispenses that grace? Yancey ends his book with a story of a prostitute, a murderer, an abusive husband, an alcoholic in a circle with a victom of violence, an abused child and a saint. There they are standing in a circle at the front of a church. One by one they go forward to receive communion. That is the picture of Christ Ministry, that is the meaning of grace. All equally and without prerequisites are called to the table of redemption. As the priest places the bread into the palms he looks into the eyes of the lost and whispers.."This is the body of Christ given up for you". No evangelization can compare to the Spirit acting upon that person at that moment. Paul was wrong, this forum is wrong and may God forgive such blatant cold hearts as those which troll here. |

I haven't read Yancey's book you've referred to but I have read some of his other books. It sounds difficult to believe that he could write a book that would go counter with God's Word, especially to the degree and the tenor of your message. Getting beyond all that, can you quote from the Bible any scriptures to support your conclusion. I tried to look over your statement and contrast it with the scripture above, 1 Cor 11:27 to come up with your conclusion but was unable to do so. Could you do us a favor and state your conclusion about this matter in one short, simple sentence? And then back it up with scripture for support. Thanks. God bless. |
