The church I attend at the moment started as a monthly partaker, then soon, within a few months went to twice monthly, then 3 times and not long after that, weekly. all this happened within the first year. I myself saw this as an immature session's accommodation of an "extra strong" pastor's desires. That plus, the table with the inscription "do this in remembrance of me" was turned around "because the supper is so much more than a remembrance!" My question is, when they/he uses the words, "nothing less than the body and blood of Christ" is it really? I always thought as a reformed, albeit lamely reformed layman, that it's, we're tied to, joined with, Christ as if it were his "actual body and blood." Not that it is his actual body and blood? secondly, if I'm right then what harm am I doing by partaking as its currently presented? If I'm a quarterly guy, and I am, for all the reasons present in your other threads, then what is my duty as to partaking of the supper? can i do it when i want? or do i have to take it weekly because I'm a member and the elders have decreed it? These days its seem like more and more "reformed" churches are becoming more Episcoterian...sorry for the ramblings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9387707.post-1154971315119289592006-08-07T12:21:00.000-05:002006-08-07T12:21:00.000-05:00Thank you for the nice comments.
