Communion ~ Jesus gave instructions to His Apostles in the New Testament Covenant...and Saul/Paul calls it "Communion" in 1 Cor 10:16�Since Jesus called Saul/Paul and Commissioned him to �Teach All that I have Commanded you��Then why do Christians �denounce� what Christ Jesus has said and asks of us to do ???�
Matthew 26:26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. 27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; 28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
Mark 14:22 And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body. 23 And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it. 24 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.
Luke 22:19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: [ this do in remembrance of me. ] 20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
1 Corinthians 10:16
The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the [ communion ] of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the [ communion ] of the body of Christ?
1 Corinthians 11:24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. 25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
I did not want this to become a thread with which to correct a person who obiously has much anger,towards some groups of people,which believe differently then they believe.
@Richard,whose screen name is Prophet / Profit
In 1st Corinthians 14:1-3 We find the purpose of Yeshua giving New Covenant Prophets to the body of Yeshua.
1Co 14:1 Pursue love, and seek eagerly the spiritual things, but rather that you may prophesy.
1Co 14:2 For the one speaking in a tongue does not speak to men, but to God, for no one hears, but in spirit he speaks mysteries.
1Co 14:3 But the one prophesying to men speaks for building up, and encouragement, and comfort.
Richard,within these first three verses,i find we are to pursue LOVE.
Pursue:
Greek:dioko
Definition:
to put to flight, pursue, by impl. to persecute
Original Word: διώκω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: di�k�
Phonetic Spelling: (dee-o'-ko)
Short Definition: I pursue, persecute
Definition: I pursue, hence: I persecute.
1377 diṓkō � properly, aggressively chase, like a hunter pursuing a catch (prize).
1377 (diṓkō) is used positively ("earnestly pursue") and negatively ("zealously persecute, hunt down").
In each case, 1377 (diṓkō) means pursue with all haste ("chasing" after), earnestly desiring to overtake (apprehend).
Richard,in your post are you ACTIVELY pursuing LOVE,or a Fight.
One pursuit will buildup others,the other pursuit will tear them down.
Pro_18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
Richard,from which tree are you eating the fruit that is proceeding from you mouth.
The tree of LIFE,or the tree of the knowledge of GOOD and EVIL,which BRINGS DEATH.
Mat 12:34 Offspring of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
Mat 12:35 The good man out of the good treasure of the heart puts forth good things. And the evil man out of the evil treasure puts forth evil things.
Hebrews 9:15,26b-28: Christ is the mediator of a NEW COVENANT so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance--now that He has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant...But now He has APPEARED ONCE FOR ALL at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the SACRIFICE of Himself... so Christ was *SACRIFICED ONCE* to take away the sins of many people, and He will *APPEAR* a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him. Hebrews 10:10: �We have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus **ONCE FOR ALL**!!�
What Church:devil: believes that Jesus has to die every day except Good Friday **TO TAKE AWAY SINS** and that Satanic priests:devil: have the power to change wine into the blood of Jesus which they drink and wafers into the body of Jesus which they eat.
Romans 6:9,10: For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, **HE CANNOT DIE AGAIN!!**, death no longer has mastery over him. The death He died, **HE DIED FOR SIN ONCE FOR ALL**; but the life He lives He lives to God. In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive:rolleyes: to God in Christ Jesus.":applause::peace:
Hey Richard...Ima going to be taking communion tonight at home with my meal...wanna come over and break bread & commune and fellowship with another Christian ???...:rolleyes:...xo
