Paul and the Lord Supper

1Cor 11:23: For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
24: And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
25: After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
26: For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.

1Cor 10:16: The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
17: For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.

Acts 20:6: And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days.
7: And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.

1Cor 5:1: It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.
2: And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.
3: For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed,
4: In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
5: To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
6: Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
7: Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
8: Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
9: I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
10: Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
11: But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
12: For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
13: But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

2 Chron 11:14-16

..for Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off from executing the priest's office unto the Lord:

15 And he ordained him priests for the high places, and for the devils, and for the calves which he had made.

16 And after them out of all the tribes of Israel such as set their hearts to seek the Lord God of Israel came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice unto the Lord God of their fathers.

Amen brother.

To suggest, that " the weaker brethren" could lose their salvation, doesn't sound like a brotherhood with very much security.

Nor would Paul condone such vial conduct from parties who were suppose to be upholding the law.

Beyond that, Paul would have been moving these parties from the law, unto grace through the blood of the everlasting covenant.

Lords Supper is a VERY important observance that the Lord Jesus Christ Son of the Living God instituted. Anyone who rejects and condemns the Lords supper misses out from full participation of the fellowship of the Mystery hidden in God now revealed in the New Covenant or Agreement. This is truely acceptable communion with God in Jesus Christ Biblically, provided we examine ourselves before partaking, to speak against such an ordinance is knowingly or unknowingly leading others astray.

[kjvonly01]

Amen brother, amen.

That's why is needs to be both practiced, and defended.

[MODERATECALVINISM]

I dont understand the thing about "weaker brothers loosing their salvation"

[edwardpf123]

Amen brother, it is indeed how selective the reading of scriptures the Hyper D's is.

Yet, they want to claim that they have it all 'figured out' and water baptism and the Lord's supper are not part of the church age, when Paul himself advocated both!

[kjvonly01]

Amen brother Edward.

Even the prison epistles reprove the Hyper-D positions.

Eph 3:4 Whereby, when YE READ, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)

5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, AS IT IS NOW REVEALED unto his HOLY APOSTLES and PROPHETS by the Spirit;

Eph 2:20: And are built upon the foundation of the APOSTLES and PROPHETS, JESUS CHRIST himself being the CHIEF CORNER STONE;

[edwardpf123]

Yes, it is simply hyper-arrogrance!

They ignore correct divisions and invent ones that don't exist and then claim that they have seen something that other Christians have missed. Funny, how in prison, Paul never got around to telling us to reject what he taught in his earlier epistles. When the Hyper-D' say 'Pauline' they really mean ONLY Prison Epistles. But even there they have to deal with the Church being the bride of Christ, alluded to by John the Baptist in (gasp!) the Gospel of John!

[kjvonly01]

Paul consented unto the wholesome words of our Lord Jesus Christ, but this Hyper-D crowd tramples all over the words of the Apostles and Prophets, and deprive the chief of the corner his due worship, and memorial.

And then they have the nerve to call themselves Pauline despite carving 1Cor 11:22-33, 1Cor 5:1-136, 1Cor 10:14-19, Luke 22:15-21, Acts 20:6-7, and John 6:51-68 out of their bibles.

[edwardpf123]

Amen brother!

What part of 'this is the blood of the NEW TESTAMENT of, which is shed for many of the remission of sins'

(Mat.26:28) don't they understand?

The Lord's Supper is a NT ordinance REMEMBERING the Cross, and has nothing to do with OT Passover, which pointed to the Cross.

How do these guys get so confused?

[kjvonly01]

That's Ok my friend. Nobody else does either, including Paul who calls the Corinthians (Jew or Gentile) brethren, partakers of the benefit, and members of the one and only body of Christ that Paul said he persecuted.

Re subjecting parties back under the law, was the very thing Paul protested in Galatians 5.

So much for eternal security.
