**The Bible never lies, Iscool.**

That is correct!

I noticed that in Acts 2:41, those (about 3,000) that gladly received the word and were baptized “were added UNTO THEM”. Unto them who?........the 120 (from 1:15). Yep, they were now born again, sins remitted, sanctified (saints,...without all that cannonization ritual stuff).

THEN, we read, “then they continued stedfastly in the apostles doctrine and fellowship, and breaking of bread, and in prayers.” 2:42 (no wine mentioned). And, that they continued.........”breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart.” 2:46 (again, no wine mentioned).

Also, ‘breaking of bread’ is mentioned in 20:7 and 11 (no wine mentioned). And again in 27:35 (no wine again, and obviously just ‘getting a bite to eat’).

But let’s assume that those verses are referring to the ‘Lord’s supper’, whether one believes that it is to be taken literal, or symbolically.

That’s IT! Not ONE place in Acts (the only book that shows people being evangelized, and born again) is there any DETAILED mention of it. Not even in chapter 15, where further instruction to the new converts abroad, is the Lord’s supper discussed.

No mention of it in the DETAILED conversions of:
the Samaritans,
the Ethiopian eunuch,
Saul/Paul,
the household of Cornelius,
Lydia and her household,
the Philipian jailor and houshold,
Crispus and many others in Corinth,
the twelve disciples in Ephesus,
and even Paul’s relating his conversion again.

On the birthday of the church, when asked, “Men and brethern, what shall we do?” Peter somehow told them that baptism in the name of Jesus Christ was for the remission of sins, not eating the flesh and blood of Christ.

I’m convinced it is symbolic. Or Peter (your ‘rock’) would have made it every bit as clear as baptism, if not more so.

On a side note. If you RCs take the ‘breaking of bread’ in Acts 2:42 as the Lord’s supper, that’s fine. Are you also as devoted to having ‘all things common’, and the selling of ‘possessions and goods, and parting them to all men, as every man had need’ (vss 45,46)? If so, maybe there is an RC that has more cars than he or she needs. A friend of mine could sure use one right now, and I don’t have a spare.
