Communion was meant to be a ceremony of remembrance, not a participation in a perpetually ongoing sacrifice where Jesus is forever dying but never dead and raised again.

Wait, are you critical of my practice of breaking bread and drinking from the cup rendering His body broken for mine and His blood shed for my redemption?

Isn’t mass celebrated every day, if you are a Catholic that should quite you, if you are a Protestant, what could be more valuable than remembering your Savior’s gift daily?

Where is it written to do as you say? It is clearly written in the Gospels for me to do this every time I break bread and drink from the cup.
It is not a ritual as Catholics perform, it is a quiet time to begin my day fully aware of my condition and act like it. An adopted son of the Most High God.

That’s what’s in my wallet- a red signed in blood and certified by His suffering.

Really? Do you honestly believe that - or just have to believe it ? You need to learn more of St. Paul and the earliest Christians.... and stop interpreting scripture to fit your needs...... St. Paul musta thought it was something more than a “ceremony” for HIS mission....

”For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord. “

How can anyone deny this? Christ never said it was a ceremony in John 6 in Capernaum, and ALLOWED MANY DISCIPLES to walk away...... and the Last Supper was the enbodiment of the Fourth Cup....again not a ceremony...

It’s very discouraging to hear people so indebted to the Bible and yet refuse to understand its meaning..... yes there needs to be MORE education all around because the Bible studies ain’t gettin it......
