Need help if a person is committing fornication are they allowed to take communion even if they?

Question

ask god forgiveness in order to take communion but they are still committing fornication

Answer 1

Communion isn't about how many or what type of sins u've committed in ur past or even now. It's about u accepting Jesus as ur Savior and understanding what He did for u on Calvary. If u understand and believe this, then u should take communion. Do not take it unworthily- this means do not take communion if u do not know what it stands for. If u do, then take it. But committing fornication is a separate thing. Since u already know it is a sin, ask God for forgiveness and try not to do it again. Ask Him for resistance against temptation. Good blessings!

Answer 2

Can you take communion after fornicating? Yes, when you take communion, the question is where is your heart and motive when you take communion? Are you truly sorry for committing fornication? Communion will mean nothing to you if you truly aren't sorry for your sins. And God can't work in heart if don't knoweldge what you have done is wrong. We all fail, we all sin and some of us struggle with the same sin everyday. But that should not stop us from coming to God on a regular basis and asking for His forgiveness and asking for His help. Everyone is invited to the communion table - sinners and saints. When you do take communion, ask God for his help on this issue of fornication. Ask him to convict you in this area of your life. If you can marry this person, then do so. If you cannot marry this person, I suggest you take some time away from this individual so that you can get your heart right with God because you know what you are doing is wrong. If you didn't think what you were doing is wrong then you wouldn't have asked this question.

Answer 3

In 1 Corinthians, I don't know where right off hand, it says that many are sick and sleeping (dead) becasue they do not discern the Lords body and if we would first examine and judge ourselves, then we will not enter in to condemnation. There is a differance between asking forgiveness and repenting. When you ask God to forgive you, He is just and faithful to forgive. When you repent, that means you turn away from your sin and commit it no more. I can't give an absolute yes or no, but if they are taking communion, obviously they are a christian and there are many places in the Bible that say fornicators will not inherit the kingdom of GOd. Read 1Corinthians 5:8- the end of the chapter.

Answer 4

The more important question is why is this person continuing to do what God has called sin? The bible says not to take communion in an unworthy manner. If someone is particpating in sin knowingly, and without repentance, that is an unworthy manner. And merely saying "I'm sorry" and then going and doing the same sin over and over, with no desire to stop, is what is called "abusing the grace of God".

Answer 5

That depends. It's really something that should be discussed with ones confessor.

Sincere contrition involves the intention to reform ones ways. This is required to receive absolution during confession. If this seeking of forgiveness is outside sacramental confession, it must be perfect contrition. That is sorrow for sins not because of the punishments they bring, but out of love for God.

Someone could be sinning again and again the same sin, but if they are actually making a sincere attempt at reform then they can still be absolved.

Anyone conscious of grave sin should not receive communion.

Answer 6

Are you talking about yourself or someone else? Communion, more than most of the other sacrements, is very personal and about what's going on in your heart. If you're talking about yourself, I would advise you against taking communion if you are struggling with any sin that you are unwilling to turn away from. You can absolutely be forgiven the minute the plate comes around, but you need to be actually willing to repent and turn away from the sin.

If you're talking about a friend, I would say that you probably shouldn't bug her about it unless she asks you. Maybe she is struggling and trying to turn away from that sin. If not, that's sad, and she shouldn't be taking communion, but it's not your place to "allow" her to do it, you know?

Answer 7

First, if the person is in an unrepentant sin, he should not take communion. As it is written, "A person must examine himself and then eat the bread and drink from the cup. For the one who eats and drinks without recognizing the body eats and drinks judgment on himself." (I Corinthians 11:28-29)

So, if the person is truly repentant, and has confessed their sin, then communion is open to them. It is between them and God, however.

Second, I am assuming that the person you mentioned in the question is not you. If that is the case, you have your own communion issues to worry about. As it is written, "Consequently, each of us will give an account of himself to God." (Romans 14:12) That being the case, you worry about your own walk. They don't have to give an account to you. Only to Him.

Unless you have caught that person in the very act, or they have confessed this to you personally, it's not yours to deal with. Rumor, innuendo, and gossip are not the basis for people to make a judgment. However, if indeed you do know this from first-hand experience, then it is your responsibility to deal with them. As it is written, "My brothers, if one of you wanders away from the truth and somebody brings him back, you may be sure that whoever brings a sinner back from his wrong path will save his soul from death and cover a multitude of sins." (James 5:19-20)

Answer 8

hmm
what it really boils down to is this:
if a person continues to practice sin(fornication) they are no matter what else they do qualified for death.
You must stop the practice of sin to qualify for life.

Romans1:32 Although these know full well the righteous decree of God, that those practicing such things are deserving of death, they not only keep on doing them but also consent with those practicing them.
1John1:6 If we make the statement: “We are having a sharing with him,” and yet we go on walking in the darkness, we are lying and are not practicing the truth. 7 However, if we are walking in the light as he himself is in the light, we do have a sharing with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
1John3:4 Everyone who practices sin is also practicing lawlessness, and so sin is lawlessness.
Rev.21:. 8 But as for the cowards and those without faith and those who are disgusting in their filth and murderers and fornicators and those practicing spiritism and idolaters and all the liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulphur. This means the second death.”

Answer 9

Honey Communion is between you and God not the decision of any one but you. you can take Communion alone if need be. but you should have a clean heart asking Jesus forgiveness always before you do,

Answer 10

if this person continues to commit fornication after taking communion, it's still a sin. this person will be judged by God himself on judgement day.
