About Me
- Dawn
- Madison, South Dakota, United States
- I am striving to become all that God created me to be. God has blessed me with a wonderful family. God has blessed us with 8 children 2 of which are at home. I am so blessed to serve a God that loved me so much He sent His one and only Son to die on the cross for my sins. To be beaten and bruised for me. I am so wicked how could anyone love me soooooo much. And to forgive me!! What more could I ask for-I have been saved by His grace. Are you?

hmmm, I like your polls but I can't answer it because I wouldn't tell anyone they must take it at any schedule. I mean, the Bible says that as often as you eat and drink you proclaim the Lord's coming until He returns (or something like that). He doesn't say every week, or every month, He says "as often" so that would be as often as you feel the desire. Also, a couple verses later there's a verse that says if you judge yourself wrongly, you are in big trouble so if you aren't doing what you should be doing, you shouldn't participate anyway until you get back on track. I think the KJV incorrectly adds "the body of the Lord" when the Greek really reads "the body", referring to judging your body. Common sense should tell us "hello?" how can we judge the Lord??
Anyway, those are my thoughts put pretty consisely...
Maybe that is why I have been struggling with it so much. It seems to be a ritual and that bothers me. Last Sunday we had our monthly communion and Pastor took more time regarding how and why and why not some one should or should not take communion. Satan went to work, a baby who had not made a peep started to fuss and cry, only during that time. It was so sad and a confirmation that the subject needed to be dealt with.
Ok, question, if you feel it has become a ritual (say because your church does it every first Sunday of the month no matter what) would it bother you to pass a time or two? It is an important thing to observe, so, are you going to tell me it is between the person and God? LOL Dawn
If my church did it every month, I would observe it every month. If they did it weekly, I would do it weekly.
When our church does it, (no schedule-just one Sunday they have it and others they don't) we read I Cor. 11 EVERY time. There is a lot of focus on the cross and the agony Christ went through. It is a sober and, for me, a tearful time. I cry every time we partake in it..
Does the Bible say how often we are supposed to do it? No. It just says to do it. I don't know why churches choose to do it more often than others.
All I know is that it is NOT for the forgiveness of sins as a lot of churches teach. It is a memorial of the Lord's death. There's no magic to it.
