Lord's Supper

[Guest shiloh357]

I hope I have this in the right section of the forum..

1 Corinthians 11:27-32

This something that I have been thinking about lately. Reading the chapter makes me think: How do you know, or can tell, if you are in a worthy state and manner when you take parts in the Lord's Supper?

What makes us unworthy to taking the Lord's Supper is sin that we sit in and/or have not repented of. I.e I can't be taking the Lord's Supper if I am a fornicator, thief, liar, etc. That is why we are told to examine ourselves and to judge ourselves. If we would judge ourselves to see if we are worthy then God would not have to judge us, chastise us, nor be condemned with the world.

1 Corinthians 11:31-32 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.

If we eat unworthily then we eat and drink damnation to ourselves.

Nothing you do, will ever make you worthy to take the Lord's Supper. You can judge yourself from now till the cows come home, but you will never be worthy. What Paul is referring to is the conduct in which the elements of the Lord's Supper are taken. He was rebuking the wreckless irresponisble and irreverent manner in which the Corinthians were partaking of the elements. He was in no way asserting that you could at any time be "worthy" in the absolute sense.

Ask God in prayer to forgive all of your sins before you take part in the Lord's supper.

This does not answer your question but it is something worth thinking about.

There is nothing in the scirpture that forbids a person to take part in the Lord's Supper at home alone. Jesus said do this in rememberance of Me. You can do that at home alone.
