Then do you believe a priest should have the right to let a man take communion if that is what he wants to do? after all, this is what the thread is questioning. Let's change it to Pastor, I'm not Catholic. If the steward of the supper doesn't know that a person is unqualified (for whatever reason)he should not bar access to the Supper. If he does know one is disqualified, He should bar access out of Christian love.
1 Corinthians 8:2 2 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.
Not in context. The 'knowledge Paul was speaking of referred to the existence of idols.
Does the Catholic Church really believe all scripture comes from God?
Most claim to, but considering the Catholic treatment of scriptures, the fruit would say otherwise.
do you?
I believe what scripture says about itself, and by the faith in God that is is His Word.
In view of what Paul said,Do you agree or disagree with the thread?.
What Paul said about self-examination is irrelevant to this situation, he already spoke of people like this, if they don't repent, turn them over to Satan. 1Cor5.
Let’s change it to Pastor, I’m not Catholic.
Ok.
If he does know one is disqualified, He should bar access out of Christian love.
Where do the scriptures say that?
Not in context. The ‘knowledge Paul was speaking of referred to the existence of idols.
So you think a man is puffed up if he claims to know anything about eating something offered to idols, but he is not considered puffed up if he claims to know everything else?
Paul seems to be irrelevant in so many Churches except where it is something that fits their doctrine or if they can twist it around to fit.
Most claim to, but considering the Catholic treatment of scriptures, the fruit would say otherwise.
I agree.
Do you?
I have already admitted that i don,t know.

Talk about irrelevant, and you come up with this? Paul was not talking about communion, he was talking about kicking a member out of the Church.
