● Matt 26:26-28 . . And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed
it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said: Take, eat; this is my
body. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying,
Drink ye all of it; for this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for
many for the remission of sins.
● 1Cor 10:15-17 . . 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?
The word communion is translated from a Greek word that pertains to
partnerships, i.e. active participation.
The thing is: folks unified with with Christ are accounted as joint principals
with him in his crucifixion.
● Rom 6:3 . . Don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ
Jesus were baptized into his death?
● Rom 6:8 . . We died with Christ,
● Gal 2:20 . . I am crucified with Christ
● Col 3:1-3 . . Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts
on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your
minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is
now hidden with Christ in God.
So then.
● 1Cor 11:27-30 . .Whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in
an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of
the Lord. A man ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread and
drinks of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the
body of the Lord eats and drinks judgment on himself. That is why many
among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.
The Greek word for "unworthy" basically means: irreverently; which
Webster's defines as: lacking proper respect or seriousness. In other words
"sacrilege" which is gross irreverence toward a hallowed person, place, or
thing.
"sinning against the body and blood of the Lord" is very similar language to
1Cor 6:18, which states: The immoral man sins against his own body. There,
as here, we're not talking about suicide and/or homicide; were talking about
desecration; which Webster's defines as: to violate the sanctity of, to
profane-- viz: to treat with disrespect, i.e. irreverently and/or outrageously.
"A man ought to examine himself" is an imperative to make double sure that
one's heart is in the right place when consuming the elements (a.k.a.
species). Some people gulp them down as if they were nothing more than a
snack of hot wings and cold beer during a Super Bowl game instead of a
sacred reminder of what God's son endured to ransom their souls from a
second death in the lake of brimstone depicted at Rev 20:11-15.
NOTE: Frequency is flexible; so if somebody is a bit nervous about going
about it in the wrong way, then I suggest not taking chances, instead: they
should hold off as long as it takes until they know what they're doing.
