The emblems

[NickHassan]

Hi,
Catholicism worships bread and wine as Jesus and their communion is to them partaking in Christ.

Perhaps as a reaction to this odd approach some traditions rather refer to the ceremony as partaking of the emblems.

No such word is found in scripture in this regard.

More confusion.

Hi 94,
Not really.
He told us to do it proclaiming our unity in Christ, before heaven, among those we partake with.

No Nick, he told us to remember his death.

Hi Georg,
Indeed he did.
Lk22
19And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

So his body was symbolically broken and shared among those joined to him that they may know their unity with him and each other. The life in the blood/wine symbolically reunites them also in the life of Jesus, the Spirit of Jesus.

1Cor10
16The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?

17For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.

Scriptures don't lie, but the Catholic church does when she teaches that only through the mass-sacrifice can your daily sins be forgiven.

Georg

[NickHassan]

Hi Georg,
Absolutely.
They say they sacifice Jesus in every mass.

Hebrews 9:26
For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

It is rather more like 1Cor10

20But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.

21Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.

22Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?

Insults to God.
That is why her suffering is planned.

[Tiffany]

I can't believe it happened so soon; WE AGREED ON SOMETHING, NICK!!!
That shows you, never give up.
Let me add a couple of sciptures.

Hbr 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Col 2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

Georg

[NickHassan]

Amen georg,
I knew it would not take long.
Blessings to you and yours.

Hi Nick:

Jesus did tell us to partake of the Lord's supper to commemorate his death and to show that we as Christians are partaking of one bread, the bread of life, and members of one body.

The confusion comes when we add things like “Transubstatiation and Cosubstantiation”. I hope I have spelled these words correctly, but you get my intent.

[NickHassan]

I agree 94.
