It is as it reads for then!
-
They had to be worthy!
-
If not, they would get sick and some would die!
-
They had to judge themselves, etc. or else God would.
God would chasten!
Purpose: to remember his death.
But just like He stated in John
6, it was not really his body and his
blood.
-
For one thing: He hadn't even died yet!.
-
The second thing:
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profitedh nothing; the words
that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.John
6:63
-
They had no bible to remember his death, etc.

It was Paul describing what happened at the 'Last Supper' before He
was betrayed. John 13:2 - "And
supper being ended..." This
is what took place at the beginning of the supper. He was not telling
us to do the same today.
It was to be carried out through those biblical
days up to 1611 when the KJB was 'completed!'. As described, those
things did take place - then!
I Corinthians 13:8-10
shows the importance of 'communion' with the Lord 'before' the KJB and
now today, 'with' the KJB. See next column...
Note: It is also not one of the 'two' ordinances.
-
It never says 'two' anywhere!
It was never given as an ordinance to do!

personal comment:
sometimes, I think we are so ignorant and lazy and selfish, we NEED religion
and all the threats and guilt that comes with it to get us to do right
- even if just occasionally - and even if it will all burn in the end...
as will you, if this is what you believe you must follow today.
Till he comes!
-
Has he not come
spiritually - are we not in a spiritual kingdom at this time? Yes!
Romans
14:17
-
So, he HAS come
spiritually in that KJB - I Corinthians
13:10.
-
We no longer are
told to do the 'supper' - 'communion' - 'Lord's supper.'
We have even more
to know and remember and that is from the King James Bible today!
If you want
to commune with God, read Your KJB and pray and listen to His answers AS
YOU READ - because that is where you will find his answers today! |
