Subject: The significance of Communion |
Bible Note: Why are we talking about my presuppositions? Let us talk about Paul's use the word Koinonia, its meaning and why would Paul use basically the same word when contrasting two acts one desireable and one forbidden. This is not a supposition it is fact the meaning of the word Koinonia reaches far deeper than communion for rememberance sake. Early Christians were well aware of the decision to prohibit eating food offered to idols. Yet Paul clearly states to do so is to partake or fellowship with demons. I made no presuppositions I pointed out an analogy made by Paul between a prohibited act and one we are told to partake in. For the analogy to be valid and meaningful there had to be more to the partaking of communion than mere rememberance of Christ. |
