Hey folks can we cut out the cattiness.
Yes there is a theological disagreement between the two communions as to exactly what the communion elements are. Symbols that keep their original essence (whatever spiritual activity takes place in their vicinity) or things that are miraculously transformed in their essence as they sit there while the officiant blesses them. The arguments from both sides reference the bible and our best understandings of the milieu.
But we all agree on the Cross, and because of the Cross we can refrain from getting cross! And I hope we can all recognize that Jesus is the boss! (And that He can even bless stubborn or ignorant people who do believe on Him but whose world views are even badly flawed, along the way He leads them to a better enlightenment.)
Hey, can we agree on “agape’ing” one another in this difficult journey? No matter where we are? Cut out the cattiness, turn on the love. Love which comes from God. I’m a Crazy Evangelical and I make it clear my theological “bias” but I also recognize the need for love, so this does not become a big ego stroking fest. That just blocks the grace of God.
