I am a bit perplexed by this. It's not just a theological matter but also a personal one which is why I'm asking.

No it is actually worse to take communion if you are not ready for it or are still living in sin. Communion is a serious thing and a person needs to be in a right place with God before taking it. Taking it just because everyone else is is wrong.
i find that a bit sad .. "Do this as often as you gather ,in remembrance of me..."
I have been searching for the phrase you have in quotes and cannot find that in the Scripture. What version of the Bible are you quoting and what is the reference? I'd like to study that verse if you will supply it.

My in-laws (Church of Christ) haves used this "verse" to base weekly communion on (and for the record, I don't have a problem with taking the Lord's Supper weekly).
But the "verse" isn't in the bible.

Yeah, my question was if it was a sin to skip it if I discovered I had a sin in my life I wasn't really aware of or am battling some kind of lust (not sexual). I know that the Bible says that we must test ourselves before we do it because we might end up drinking judgment.
How should I take communion then? I know I gotta be repentant and broken or rejoicing in the Lord but I'm not sure if I should take it. I try to test my conscience each time but I always find a flaw.
