I am looking at the pre-packed individually sealed cups with wafer and juice as a possibility and wondering what do you think may work out to be comfortable? Yes I know not all local bodies of Christ did Lord's supper/communion the same way. I am just wondering what about going forward in time what might make individuals comfortable in their remembrance memorial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been our practice as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do we see a RITUAL with a silly cracker and a plastic thimble of grape juice in the Word? Quote 1Co 11:23-26 ¶ For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” ¶ For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes. When are we going to get back to what is really important to Him? Trying to figure out if pre-packaged or home made is somehow "holier" just ain't where it's at. Koinoinia....common union....fellowship with His suffering and with each other IN Him....and a meal is a great way to do that....much of fellowship in the early church involved common meals... why not let go of this traditional nonsense and get back to pursuing what is important to Him...

In christ time they all drank from the same cup And ate a piece of the same unleaven bread. Also that same day Jesus laid a side his outer garmennt took a towel and washed the apostles feet and instructed that they do the same to one another. As for covid19 what so ever is not of faith is sin. Let every man be fully persuade in his own heart. If a believer's faith is weak don't take Lord supper. If I then , your Lord and master, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. verily verily , I say unto you, The servant is not greater than he that sent him. If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them. Looking at the word ought Strongs number g5534 usage :Ought Definition :it needs (must or necessary)be 1.it is necessary 2)it behooves Edited May 17, 2020 by vic66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, while much of the presentation is interesting and maybe enlightening, I can't agree with the above portion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
