This is the way to do it “ unworthily”—— looking at yourself and your performance as opposed to “ remembering Him” and His Performance and what it accomplished for you....

If you say so it is so to you. Yet for me it was and still is akin to my understanding of Matthew 5:23. In that vein I could not partake of my Lord's sacrifice memorial until I had first honored Him properly. To not do so would for me have been to partake of the memorial too lightly. It is actually a formal preamble to the partaking of the memorial at one of the local body of Christ where I have been led to participate for over twenty years time. I really don't think everyone there is thinking of themself first instead of partaking in the memorial of our Lord. Instead I believe they each do wish to clear away all that may separate one from another as each remembers their Lord and savior Jesus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They use the word communion and pass the elements to all, but do simply say that this is for Christians as the remembrance of Christ it is a symbol. My other home church is rather formal with a lengthy explanation each time uses the word Lord's Supper and the many elders pass among the attendees handing out th elements. very different one from the other. Each honors Christ Jesus in their remembrance of Him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That type of reasoning would make the Communion Service all about ME, instead of being all about HIM....If only those have “ forsaken ALL” are fit to take this simple Remembrance of our Lord and Savior ,many Communion Services will have to be shelved....

Reading and knowing God's Word helps! 1 Cor 11:28-29 28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

The Carnal Christians were eating like pigs, some even getting DRUNK on the sacred Communion Wine...not exactly the intended purpose of this gathering together of Believers.... Instead Of a gathering of those who were supposed to be there to REMEMBER WHAT JESUS DID ( “ do this in rememberence of ME” ) they were there remembering themselves,seeing how “ worthy” THEY were....the same mistake being made today. Nobody is “ Worthy”. We are “ MADE Worthy” by putting our Faith in what HE did! Faith in that Shed Blood ! That is why we have Communion— to Remember what HE and ONLY HE could do.There is no need to delude ourselves into thinking we merit anything because of a misunderstanding of a single word.Satan has turned this beautiful occasion to Worship Jesus into a farce in way too many cases.One misunderstood word. God was not joking when he said Satan was “ the most subtle” of all creation . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJV let's not force our will upon the text … it simply says what it says and he who eateth and drinketh unworthily by not examining himself properly... Christians are under a sanctification responsibility to God and we find that outlay in Hebrews... The Lord's supper is the vast focus of how Jesus came into the world and died to Himself to Live according to The Fathers will as seen in Garden and John 17 prayer and to remember this death until He comes... thus the outlay as I first posted that reflects what sort of death Jesus expects of us so that we do not partake of His Body and Blood (in remembrance) unworthily...

NOT YOU! Do you trick yourself into believing you are “ worthy” every Communion Seevice because of bad teaching ? I don’t know a lot, but I know this......I ain’t worthy, I never WAS worthy , and I ain’t gonna BE worthy ......how about you?
