Bible Note: Again, Emmaus, thank you. Honestly, I appreciate the obvious time you spent (long or short, matters not). Funny, but that one verse in John, which you quoted, will possibly answer many of the other questions that pop into my mind when reading His Word. That courthouse in which you are employed HAS you as an asset. I appreciate you, Emmaus. Sir, may I ask a side-bar, please? Once I was privileged to be a pallbearer for a precious family friend - a strict, Italian Catholic friend. In an overcrowded Saint Mary’s Catholic Church, I sat on the front row with five of the deceased family members. The priest gave us all communion, and I, as a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, partook. After the service, interment, and a “reception-dinner”, a non-catholic family member chastised me for partaking in communion. I refused to swallow this person’s claim – “You’ve defiled yourself”. In case I have another opportunity (and privilege), and find myself in a similar situation of being asked to be a pallbearer, should I merely decline, or merely refuse communion, or what? Please advise, and thank you, Emmaus, for being totally candid with any response. Tom |
