Protestants
divided themselves into two groups, those who consider the Lord's
Supper as a symbol only, and those who participate in the sacrifice
of the Lord. If the Lord's Supper is only a symbol and a remembrance
and a memory you have no participation in it, does not enter into
Christ's death closes in knowledge about the fact that Jesus died
2,000 years ago and I only mention it. Protestants are so touchy
about the Catholic transubstantiation that renounce participation in
Christ's sacrifice. The difference is that Jesus Catholic in wafer
turns into a an authentic body during mass. The bread is still bread
and does not change in the literal body of Jesus, but by the bread we
enter into the body and blood of Christ at Calvary. Look at the text:
1
Kor. 10:16
(16):
Is not the cup of blessing that we bless a sharing in the blood of
Christ? Is not the bread that we break a sharing in the body of
Christ?
Is the text says that the bread
is only a symbol and reminder of death or whether it is community
participation and input in the blood and body of Jesus. You have to
participate in flesh and blood and not just remember it. Did you know
that the language of old Jewish had only the present tense and the
many prophecies about the future and the past, it was spoken as if
they had a place now.
Golgotha is not only a time past
but we are in it now. you want to be merely an observer of his death
or would like to participate in his sacrifice. If the bread and wine
are just a reminder of the past, you're an observer. As the day of
independence / in Poland / the feast of November 11, or July 4th in
the USA where we can only remember what happened 200 years ago, but
other than memories nothing more than we do, many so comes to the
sacrifice of Jesus as the memories of which nothingIt has to be done.
Reading the Bible, Hebrew it
availed of all descriptions bible to each other or the present time,
we taught the Greek system, we refer to the past which is concerned
that those people and not me, now it's just history only and to the
future or something will be, but I do now does not apply, and at
present during Bible says nothing. - It's the Greek way of thinking.
Such thinking does not participate in the sacrifice of Christ because
it is only the past and the history closed.
1
Kor. 11:29
(29):
For the one who eats and drinks without careful regard for the body
eats and drinks judgment against himself.
Reading this text always pay
attention to the word "unworthy" in the sense sinful, not
reconciled, but this text does not speak only about the sins but that
unworthiness is indiscrimination the Lord's body. You eat it as
ordinary bread or disrespect the victim treating it as a normal
ceremony. It seems that people then knew about entering through
supper in the the body of Jesus. For what is a participation in the
death of Jesus as not participating in court over sin on the cross,
so participating in the sacrifice of the body of Jesus and his sin
participate in court over sin except that this judgment is against
you rather than for cleaning, concerns of text
Hebr.
10:26-27
(26):
For if we deliberately keep on sinning after receiving the knowledge
of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins is left for us, but only
a certain fearful expectation of judgment and a fury of fire that
will consume God's enemies.
So
consciously we enter into the sacrifice of Jesus with rebellion by
the bread and wine. Next issue is not to distinguish the spiritual
from what is carnal. The difference is that instead of Adventist
spiritually in Christ's sacrifice is looking at whether it is
unleavened bread and the wine is grape juice, the outer form is more
important than spiritual. We do not participate in Old testament
Passover only in Christ's sacrifice.
The washing of feet was a common practice every day. Each supper began to wash the feet. The Lord's Supper does not introduce a new habit. Daily practice continues. The text that says "you should do the same," he says about humility and not about washing their feet. "I am your teacher, and I have washed your feet," A great teacher becomes a servant for his disciples
Transfer
habits Israel in our time. It is not necessary, feet washing was
customary. It was the custom that they had no tables or chairs, and
somehow this habit does not make no one today. Letter to the
Corinthians speaks of Covering the heads for women. At the end of the
apostle adds that it is a habit. In some churches introduced this
habit.He says that does not cover her heads is a sin. Text says: "If
a man covers her head with it dishonors his head. Every Jew to pray
covers his head. Does this mean that Jesus and the apostles dishonors
their head. Greek custom is different from the Jews. God has not
changed his mind in the the New Testament. In Poland we introduce
habit Greek or Jewish.
In
Adventism supper can only give an ordained pastor. Where this is in
the Bible. This is a Catholic pattern. Man priest and layman. The
clergyman can give wedding, lead funeral, baptize. A member of the
church has zabronione.Letter to the Corinthians is a letter to the
people in the church. not to the clergy in the church. About in 180
years . Tertullian said. "When there is no priest, you Baptism,
the priest're to himself" Everyone at home can do the Lord's
Supper. without a pastor. Supper is between you and God, not between
you and the pastor or church.
