(sevver;36485)
I don't see communion as having anything at all to do with taking a piece of bread and juice. Communion is eating with others, fellowship, love, worship of God and being together in Christ. Our church does communion with the sacraments, and I take it as a time to thank Jesus for what he has done for me with his final sacrifice, and for giving us this new law, our new covenant. This is how I see it, I really haven't come across anything to steer me in any other direction, I have never seen anything in the Bible to say that I am wrong. I have however found that the Bible supports my view, I have looked into alot of these things that we are told is right by man, and really, they are misrepresented quite often. God Bless
Doesn't it have this in your Bible then ?So Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day; 55for my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. 56Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them. 57Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever eats me will live because of me. 58This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like that which your ancestors ate, and they died. But the one who eats this bread will live forever.” Jn 6:53-58)Then he took a loaf of bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 20And he did the same with the cup after supper, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood. (Lk 22:19)
