• John 6:60-62 - Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it? When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you? What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
• The explanation:
• John 6:63 - It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I  speak unto you they are spirit, and they are life.

• I Corinthians 10:16,17 - The 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? For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.

• Is it Tradition?
• Is it really an Ordinance?
• Must it be a Requirement?
• for salvation?
• for confession of sins?
• for receiving Holy Spirit?
• for church membership?
• for body of Christ membership?
• closed - open?
• Requirements to participate?  age?  knowledge?  confirmation graduate?
• wine - grape juice?

• single loaf of bread - pieces - if pieces, who breaks the bread - hands clean?
• shot glasses - cups - glasses?
• denominational differences in design?
• how oft is oft?
• weekly, monthly, yearly?
• what confusion, eh?
• I Corinthians 14:33 - For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

• Has he not come spiritually to us and in us - are we not in a spiritual kingdom at this time?  Yes! Romans 14:17
• He HAS come spiritually in that KJB - I Corinthians 13:10.
•  So, we no longer need to do the 'supper' - 'communion' - 'Lord's supper.'
• just like speaking in tongues in chapter 14; laying on of hands, baptizing
• We have even more to know and remember than they ever did!
• and that is from the King James Bible today!
• The KJB is our spiritual 'communion' with God
• So this warning is to them during Paul's day and early in his ministry with Jews still around;  the warning is not to us today!
• Warning:
• 27-34 - Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another. And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.
• to us?
• unworthily?
• weak?
• sick?
• sleep (die)
• not be judged?
• chastening of the Lord?
• condemned with the world?
• condemnation?
• Set in order spiritually?
• He has!  KJB
• Set in order physically?
• He will! Revelation 19:11-22:21

• Did Christ die like He did so we can live the kind of life we are living right now - and yet still go to heaven?
• Did Christ die like He did so we can have the things we have - and yet still go to heaven?
• Did Christ die like He did so we can dress the way we dress - show the skin that we show - go to the places we go - talk the way we talk (with discretion or not) - act the way we do (soberly or not) - party the way we party (riotous or not) - so we can eat and drink and rise up to play the modern American way - - and yet - still go to heaven when we die?
• Did Christ die like He did so we can raise our children to be spoiled disobedient children who will probably turn away from His resurrection let alone learn anything about their own eternal life - by our example, of course!  After all, we don't really know how to train them, so why try - they only get in our way!!!  ... and yet just so we can still go to heaven?

Remember - according to the KJB and Paul!

• NOT just the Gospels, although they are still important to know about!
• NOT just Isaiah 53, although that is still important to know about!
• NOT just applying Psalm 109 as Christ's thoughts towards Satan and the wicked while he was being crucified, although that is still important!
• NOT just applying Psalm 22, showing His great distress while in the garden knowing what was coming, although that is still important!

• The Risen Christ abolished death - brought life and immortality to light through the gospel - and that gospel today must be Paul's!
• II Timothy 1:8-11 with emphasis on verse 10 - But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.
• And that gospel is Paul's!  "My gospel..."
• Romans 2:16 - In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
• Romans 16:25 - Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
• II Timothy 2:8 - Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:
• I Corinthians 4:17 - For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.

Reconciled to God

• Romans 5:8-11
• especially verses 10,11 - For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.  And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
• We only remember about the details of his death through Paul!

• Romans 5:17-21
• especially verse 17 - For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

• We only remember about the details of his death through Paul!

• Romans 6:3-5 -Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.  For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
• We only remember about the details of his death through Paul!

• Romans 6:9-11 - Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

• Hebrews 9:16,17 - For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
