foundsheep Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Ive always wondered why non catholic churches put the "lords Supper" really low on the priority list. What i mean is, in talking to people from denominations I noticed the have bread/wine only once a month. My bro who is pentacultal says they do it when the pasture gets the feeling to do it.

Dave Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 I think Protestants have the attitude of "familiarity breeds contempt." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkenstein Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Well it is not much of surprise since Protestants believe that the bread and wine is only that, bread and wine...while in a Catholic Liturgy the simple bread and wine, by the power of God becomes the body and blood of Jesus Christ.... So as Catholics we need to recieve the Body of Jesus as often as we can in order to stay in a close relationship with him...Protestants only believe that the Eucharist is a rememberance of Jesus, thus you only need to remember Him now and then, or when the pastor sees fit... I hope that explains your question.. Shalom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marielapin Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 the Baptist church that some of my friends go to has the "Lords Supper" TWICE a year: at Christmas and Easter. That's it. At the Methodist Church I used to go to, Communion was only held once a month, and you usually had to go to a special service during the middle of the week or at night to receive. About every three months Communion would be held during regular services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Well it is not much of surprise since Protestants believe that the bread and wine is only that, bread and wine They are actually right... about their own "communion" anyway.. the Protistant communion is just bread and wine. The Catholic Church does not recognise that as the Blessed Sacrament Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littleflower+JMJ Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 but considering all this it really makes me glad to be catholic. no fluff just the real stuff. like today i was listening to a christian song saying "open the floodgates of heaven" or something like that....to "see God and His glory" and i could only think of the holy sacrament of the eucharist and the holy mass... and smile to myself and thank God for his wonderful sacraments......... :wub: :wub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilroy the Ninja Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Now, now, if all the prots gave up their "communion" once a month what would the grape juice and cracker vendors do? Rely on sales to toddlers???? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Now, now, if all the prots gave up their "communion" once a month what would the grape juice and cracker vendors do? Rely on sales to toddlers???? Considering that they only munch on it once a month or less, I don't think the juice and cracker vendors can be getting very rich from them....better stick with the toddlers; that's where the lion's share of their market is. And Monkenstein and Tony are correct, if protestant denoms only consider this to be a symbolic gesture, they don't feel all that obligated to "Do this..." (very often)"...in memory of me."

foundsheep Posted October 22, 2003 Author Share Posted October 22, 2003 Whats funny to me, is as much as they supposedly rely on scripture, Paul talks about breaking bread throughout his letters.AkA it was important to the apostles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
