Subject: The significance of Communion |
Bible Note: With all due respect the presuppositions that you infer are errant are based on the meaning of the word koinenia. Your response never speaks to the meaning of word koinenia. You simply take the stance that communion is physical activity that doesn't perform any magic. To me that answer is simply ignoring the fact that many physical activities have spiritual consequences both good and bad. If you don't want to explore the full meaning of koinenia and all that it is entails fine but don't poopoo the question as being based on errant persuppositions. There has to be more to it than just a physical activity or Paul would have never used the analogy comparing partaking of food offered to idols with partaking of the bread and wine of communion. I believe grasping the full meaning of the word koinenia is important to understand what Paul is saying. |
