1Cor 11:26-28. The Lord's Supper isn't celebrated in a void, it is a confession of the church. James 3:1.
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?
Context, can't read what you want in to it. If I am thought of as harsh in my judgement that lack of faith in God's Word is worse that communing unworthingly, reprove me from scripture, don't create an understanding of a verse where that isn't the context. Rom 3:4.
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.
Read the article. The hierarchy isn't following their own canon. To some Catholics, that is worse than not following God's Word. But if these won't relent and repent how is that different the than the unrepentant Paul spoke of? The pro-aborts should be excommunicated publicly. The Catholic church hasn't the conviction to do so, thus the scandal. Paul would have, in light of their unrepentance turned them over to Satan. Just as he would have pushed for these 'shepherds' to repent, lest they get the same.
Where do the scriptures say that?
1Cor 11:26-28. The Lord’s Supper isn’t celebrated in a void, it is a confession of the church. James 3:1.
26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes.
Examine Yourself
27 Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood[a] of the Lord.
28
But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.
James3

My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
