Bible Question (short): Physically Correct Communion? |
Question (full): Greets all...Noob here. The question I have is regarding the physical form/practice of partaking in the Lord's supper or Communion. I come from a very traditional, 'Protestant' church (though I'm not protesting personally..j/k) and this issue has hit the fan recently amongst our older set as the leadership has tried to spark renewed interest/growth in the church. The church has always used tiny little wafers and a small plastic cup for the 'juice'. We wanted to try a 'break-and-dip' communion service but no dice! The idea hit the wall and the leadership backed down. Don't mean to come off like I don't have an opinion or Biblical angle on the issue...I'm just sincerely looking for additional views/scripture/other resources so I don't get bogged down in my own opinions. Some in our church think to do anything but 'drink' the cup is a one way ticket to hell. Sorry bout the sarcasm...I'm getting tired of the struggle. Tnx Much for any opinions |
