Subject: communion: symbolic or something more? |
Bible Note: Thank you for your answer, and most on the forum would agree with you. The main crux of the topic was that some supposed Christian Faiths, try to lead their constituents to believe that the bread and wine of communion is actually turned into the body and blood of Christ by the priest at each mass. The fact is, even the priesthood was done away with when the veil in the temple was torn from top to bottom. There is no need for a priest today because Jesus himself is our high priest and we are told to come boldly to the throne of grace on our own, Jesus is our mediator. 1 Tim. 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; The whole false system, in question, condones human works, and there are millions who succumb to it’s alluring substitution and really never come to the realization of a personal relationship with the living Christ; they are overcome and pacified by all the ritual to the point that it is even called their obligation! It all sound great with the pomp and ceremony but it is ritual with out reality. There are some on this forum who will hold it up to the very end and very few will doubt or confront them or say a word against it even though they know it is wrong. It is my firm opinion that it is easer to point an atheist to the saving work of Jesus, then it is to show those of the Romanist persuasion that they are so near yet so far off. CDBJ |
