1Co 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) Is this literally the blood and body Of JESUS?
2) Is there Eternal "damnation for partaking" of this UNworthily?
3) Is there a Lot Missing in our understanding Of Scripture?
May The Holy Spirit of God Help us.

Precious friends, these and Many other questions can be
Scripturally Answered. So, for your prayerful and Careful
consideration - please Be Very RICHLY Encouraged And Edified!:

"...It's Doctrinal Position

...many believers have grave misunderstandings or at least a cloudy conception
of the meaning of the Lord’s Supper. Because of this deficiency in the thinking of
many, we’ll begin with some facts about the Supper. Then we should address some
objections raised by some who believe that Christians should not participate in it
today.

...we’ll look at a positive affirmation for taking it, as well as Scriptures which will
strengthen the consciences of those who feel themselves unworthy to eat of that
bread and drink of that cup. The Biblical passages which bear upon the subject are:

Matthew_26:26-29, Mark_14:22-25, Luke_22:14-20,
I Corinthians_10:16,17, 11:17-34.

It should be noted that Paul, the apostle of the Gentiles, reveals more information
about it in I Corinthians than in all the others put together. The Lord’s Supper is
known by several different but related names:

1. The Eucharist—This comes from I Corinthians 11:24 where the
phrase “given thanks” is translated from the Greek word eucharisteo.

2. Communion, or fellowship—I Corinthians 10:16

3. The Lord’s Table—I Corinthians 10:21

4. Breaking of Bread—Acts 2:42,46; 20:71

5. The Lord’s Supper—I Corinthians 11:20​

Before we look at the spiritual significance of The Lord’s Supper,
it may be beneficial to examine what it is not.

1) It is not the Passover...
2) It is not an ordinance...
3) It is not required for the forgiveness of sins
or acceptance with God after salvation...​
4) It is not imposed...
5) It is not strictly a Jewish-Kingdom observance...
6) It is not transitional...
7) It is not incompatible with spiritual things...​

"
Having examined what The LORD’s Supper is not, let us give a positive affirmation
of what it is, as well as its spiritual significance. I Corinthians 11:23-29 is the key
passage we will be examining.

1) It is a Pauline revelation from the Glorified Christ...
2) It is a Thanksgiving (Eucharist)...
3) It is a Memorial...
4) It is a Representation...
5) It is a Command...
6) It is a Proclamation (Testimony)...
7) It is a Communion (Fellowship)...
