How often should the Lords Supper be taken?

Question

What is your proof?

Answer 1

"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and they died. This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that a man may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven.'"

How often did they eat the manna? Every day. How often do we receive the Bread of Life? Every day. This is not a once for all sacrifice, like many anti-Catholics allege in the sense that Christ is sacrificed and now there's nothing more to be done. Jesus Christ is sacrificed as priest and as victim, as lamb and as firstborn son and as the Bread of Life, he gives himself to us as well as the unleavened bread of the Passover meal, which commenced, of course, the whole feast of unleavened bread the week after the Passover celebration. Jesus Christ is the Bread of Life, the unleavened bread of God which came down from heaven which the Israelites received every day, the manna of the New Covenant.

Christ through the Holy Spirit makes himself available as the Lamb of God to be consumed continuously. That's the whole point of the Resurrection, incidentally. The Holy Spirit raises up that body and glorifies it so supernaturally that body and blood which is glorified may be internationally distributed through the elders and priests of the Church so that all of God's children can be bound back to the Father in the New Covenant sacrifice of Christ. He didn't die again. He's not bleeding and he's not suffering. He's reigning in glory and giving us his own flesh and blood.

So we have reason to believe that this sacrifice of the New Covenant Passover begun in the Upper Room and consummated on Calvary and ultimately as 1st Corinthians 5 suggests continued and celebrated as a climactic communion on the altars of the Church around the world when we receive the Eucharist in Communion. All of this is right from the Bible but you've got to know your Bible. You've got to know John. You've got to know Matthew, Mark and Luke. You've got to know Exodus. You've got to know the Psalms. You've got to know Corinthians and you also have to know Revelation.

Answer 2

The Lord's Supper is the same as Holy Communion, The Lord's Table, Eucharist or Breaking of Bread, as each group has its own terminology. This is instituted by the Lord Jesus Christ before His death and is to be a perpetual institution until His coming again, commemorating His death on behalf of the partaker. No specific instruction is given about the frequency of its observation. However, the early practice as we see in the New Testament was probably 'as often as they gathered together'. You may refer Acts 2:42 and 1Corinthians 12:23-32.

This is not a sacrifice, as there is no reference to support it. I am not able to agree with AMDG because Christs death was a once-and-for-all, perfect sacrifice which cannot be repeated or replaced by our bread and wine. You may need to study the book of Hebrews. Focus on chapters 9 & 10. Read 9:12; 10:11.
God Bless!

Answer 3

certain, that's logical for the Lord's Supper to be on Sunday. yet, as taught in the Baptist and Lutheran church homes, analyzing the Bible is area of the Lord's Supper. that's a really complicated component.

Answer 4

once..its one remembering of God's last supper...what matters most that everytime you eat the piece of bread and drink the wine, in your heart you remember what God's did for us.Honestly, its all about you. Even you take the Lord's supper many times and you just do it since most of the churches has done it as a part of the church routine assembly then in your heart its empty..you dont feel the holy spirit in it..its still nothing.. You have to check yourself and start it in your heart and you will shine...People will notice your ways as being a christian and be adore Jesus for taking care of your life.

Answer 5

Well, first off this was done during the Passover meal, which means right there its once a year.
Proof: he's a Jew and keeps Torah.
But since the christian communion has nothing to do with God or any of His ways, this is nothing more than a Church ritual added to the gospel account.

How is it added? Simple. The main parts of the communion is to eat his 'flesh' and drink his 'blood', using the bread and wine as substitutes.

Leviticus 3:17 'It is a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings: you shall not eat any fat or any blood.'"

Leviticus 17:10 'And any man from the house of Israel, or from the aliens who sojourn among them, who eats any blood, I will set My face against that person who eats blood and will cut him off from among his people.

Deuteronomy 15:23 "Only you shall not eat its blood; you are to pour it out on the ground like water.

God makes it quite clear that the eating of blood (consumption, drinking) is a sin, it is to be poured out on the ground.

As for eating his flesh, humans are not on the list of approved flesh to eat, in short, human flesh is not Kosher, therefore not allowed.

Now anyone asking others to drink wine that symbolizes blood, and eat bread that symbolizes flesh - is making a mockery of the God of Abraham and of His Torah! Something a Jew would never do before his God.

Answer 6

Roman Catholics partake of the Eurcharist during Mass. The frequency of the observance differs among Protestants from once a quarter, or once a month, or weekly. I come from the tradition that observes it weekly (Disciples of Christ). It is integral to the worship experience and is usually offered to those who have 'joined the church.'

Answer 7

I don't even know what that means. Why are you taking His supper? That is rude.

There are no rules or laws to follow. If you wish to follow one to gain favor with God, then you must follow all 613.

Answer 8

The Bible doesn't specify the exact number of times one should receive Holy Communion but my belief is that the more often you receive it, the better.

Answer 9

This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me." this is the quote and request from Jesus himself he give no set time he jsut says do it and remember.

Answer 10

When I want , I'm the proof .
