Subject: Why is communion a sin for sinners? |
Bible Note: Mike- thanks for your input and welcome to the forum. You wrote: "I too thought you couldnt be a believer and take communion but then a Pastor told me that Jesus served Judas communion at the last supper and he was certainly not a believer" I've never considered it before and don't have time right now but I'm interested now in reading the accounts of the "Lord's Supper" in Scripture again. I'm not sure but I believe Judas had already left the place prior to the breaking of the bread, Satan having already entered into him. You might have an opportunity to look into that before I do as I am at my office and about to start my work day. The thing to remember regarding the passage in 1Corinthians is that it is not speaking to the church as being responsible for qualifying individuals, but instead, the individual to ensure he/she is living in obedience to God. God bless, Jeff |
