    Is Communion the Body and Blood after the Crucifixion?

    If we participate in the body and blood of Christ, shouldn't we do it with the body that was crucified? I heard that we do it with the resurrected body. Sorry, I'm still learning.

    Communion Preparation

    Hello all, in the past year, me and my parents have volunteered with filling the small, plastic Communion cups. These things can get pretty annoying and tedious to fill with grape juice. That's why in my engineering class, my group has decided to design and build a better Communion dispenser...

    The Communion Renewal

    Every covenant is cut and ratified by the blood. The problem was that the old covenant under the law could only make atonement for our sins - cover it up. However, the new covenant, which was ratified by the blood of Jesus, however, did much more - it removed sin once and for all(Hebrews...

    Is Your Salvation Secure?

    I'm quite sure that I'm not the only Christian in the world who has experienced doubt and uncertainty in my faith over the years, but hopefully this may help some to allow such a thing to be opened up and treated, rather than to fester in the dark as is so often the case. I myself spent many...

    Which sacraments of other denominations do you accept?

    My daughter was recently baptised, and I was just wondering about this. Which sacraments are accepted by whom? I see Roman Catholics accept Protestant baptism as legitimate, provided a trinitarian formula is followed and actual water is used. They also accept Orthodox baptism, but it seems the...

    Lord's Supper & eating of the unworthy,impious, or unbeliever

    I came from a non-Lutheran background so my evangeical background would not assume a Real Prescence in the Lord's Supper. (I am attending a Lutheran Church with Open Communion) "Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning...

    The Lord's Supper Surprise!

    This Sunday at Church, listening to my Pastor's sermon, I began taking notes as I was absorbed in the message. I noticed others weren't that interested, and my wife later said she had trouble staying awake. Some sermons are just more interesting to certain people. Being Communion Sunday (We...

    By 2021, the Episcopal Church will enter full communion with the United Methodist Church

    Personally, I have been supportive of full communion between the Episcopal Church and the UMC for awhile. We already have full communion with the ELCA, in which I grew up, the Old Catholic Church, the Mar Thoma Church, and the Moravian Church. What do y'all think? United Methodist Church...

    Homily on Open Communion

    I liked this homily favoring open communion and found it very uplifting. I thought I'd re-post it here as spiritual food for thought. The person delivering it has made it public domain, so I am able to post it in full (in quotes) without violating copyright or any forum rules. Here is the...

    Father Thomas Reese: 'What God has joined together ...'

    Link: 'What God has joined together ...' Why not just recognize that lifelong marriage is the ideal, but that the real world sometimes makes a hash of ideals, and that remarriage after a divorce often represents people doing the best they can with what they are given? I don't agree with...

    Communion

    I'm baptist, so we don't do communion often, only I'm afraid it's coming soon. I know about 1 Corinthians 11:27, eating unworthily makes you guilty of sinning against Jesus, some people say makes you guilty of Jesus's death, as the people who actually beat Him on the cross were. I'm afraid of...

    A Holy Fellowship with the Father: Prayer

    Lord Heavenly Father spoke in my spirit when I began to pray yesterday. He said, Prayer is Holy. A Holy act, communing with Him as one. I never thought of prayer that way before. It is something we are told to do for others as well as ourselves, but I never saw it as Holy. Any comments of what...

    A Heart Examination

    Saturday, December 31, 2016, 11:30 p.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “My Jesus, I Love Thee.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read 1 Corinthians 10:14-22; 11:23-32 (ESV). Flee Idolatry (10:14-22) Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. I speak as to sensible people; judge...
