Question About Holy Communion

[gordon777]

Yes holy communion cant even be discussed these days, or they would be ashamed for never stopping their disputes ( they are destitute of the truth):


1 Timothy 6:5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

 

[jaybo]

I thought you might quote that.

CONTEXT!!!!

They were talking about eating BREAD with hands not ceremonially washed. This was NOT about eating pork or shellfish or any other such NON-FOOD.

All foods were clean, but not everything we eat is biblically considered food.

You're joking! What is it about "all foods" that you can't understand? All foods mean: ALL FOODS.
Again, "there is nothing outside a person that by going in can defile".

I am about to have lunch: either ribs or lobster! BOTH ARE FOODS!

 

[gordon777]

More proof they cant talk about or understand holy communion:


Proverbs 20:3 It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.

Romans 13:13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.

2 Corinthians 12:20 For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:
21 And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.

Galatians 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Philippians 1:15
Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:

Philippians 2:3
Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

1 Timothy 6:3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,

2 Timothy 2:23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.

James 3:14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.

James 3:16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

When people talk about lunch, is that is about Holy communion?


Philippians 3:19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

 

[D-D-W]

I am about to have lunch: either ribs or lobster! BOTH ARE FOODS!

I am NOT kidding.
Show me in scripture where either of those are called "food." You can't because they are NOT scripturally food.

I won't even discuss anything so ridiculous. Apple pie and ice cream aren't mentioned in the Bible either, nor are popcorn, Oreos, and fried chicken.

This discussion is over as far as I'm concerned.

 

[gordon777]

So back on holy communion.

The discussion must be ion all holy conversation first, or they wont be saved at all..


1 Peter 1:15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

2 Peter 3:11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

Here are some foods that immediately come to mind that are not mentioned in the Bible: cheeseburgers, french fries, Caesar salad, lox and bagels, Campbell's chicken soup, coffee, popcorn, burritos, chow mein. So, are none of them foods?

 

[D-D-W]

Here are some foods that immediately come to mind that are not mentioned in the Bible: cheeseburgers,

Beef is mentioned in cattle. So are milk products which would include cheese

french fries,

Root vegetables are mentioned

Caesar salad,

leaves are mentioned as food

lox and bagels,

lox = fish, a favorite of our Lord
Bagels = bread; mentioned many times

Campbell's chicken soup,

While Mr Campbell was not around back then, chickens certainly were and are in the clean list of birds to eat

coffee,

Not known at the time. But it is plant based which was given to Adam as food.

popcorn,

What we call corn is just another grain like wheat and barley which are mentioned as food. Both can be "popped" like corn.

burritos,

a composite of a bunch of other things already mentioned.

chow mein.

Rice was not known, but is in the grain family with wheat and barley which are mentioned as food.

But there are many things that are forbidden and those are not considered Food anywhere in scripture. In fact scripture says to NOT eat them.

I repeat: none of the foods that I listed are mentioned in the Bible.

As you wrote, I agree: I am NOT kidding. You can't show me in scripture where any of those I listed called "food." You can't because they are NOT scripturally food.

I didn't say beef, I said cheeseburgers.
I didn't say root vegetables, I said french fries.
I didn't say leaves, I said Caesar salad.
I didn't say fish and bread, I said lox and bagels.
I didn't say chickens, I said Campbell's chicken soup.
Your response to my listing coffee is that "it is plant based which was given to Adam as food" is the dumbest of all!
Your response to my listing popcorn is "what we call corn is just another grain like wheat and barley" is a close second.
Your response to my listing burritos and chow mein are also nonsensical.

I'm done playing this silly game. Everything is permissible to eat under the New Covenant. Mark 7:18-18, " He said to them, “So, are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile, since it enters not the heart but the stomach and goes out into the sewer?” (Thus he declared all foods clean.) It doesn't have to be listed in the Bible.

You wrote "... not everything we eat is biblically considered food." Your legalism is of no further interest to me.
