Question

I am a Christian Pastor and was invited and went last nite to your memorial services for Jesus, My question is why when the bread is past can no one take of it? nor the wine?

well I took of it..and I guess I was right to do soo since I am an anointed Pastor of God.. whew...everyone looked at Me reallll funny when I was the ONLY one that broke the bread

Answer 1

Hey Rob, I would have done the same thing not knowing. Now we both know. Thank You for the question.
Another anointed minister.

Answer 2

There are the firstfruits 1Cor.15:22-28,51-53; of all of earth inhabitants, these will be the heavenly for the new heavens, John 6:39,40,44,54-58 the bread and wine partakers of the end times right up to the caught up 1Thes.4:15-17;
Mark 13:27; Heb.12:22-24; The heavenly head of the whole church body as
Jude 9; Michael Dan.12:1-13; of the end times, with holy angels did cast Satan and 1/3 unholy angels out of heaven Satan to have a short time in the end times, John 14:3; JESUS WENT TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR THEM, THAT WHERE HE IS THEY MAY BE.
WITH SATAN DOWN A PLACE IS PREPARED FOR THE RAISED UP

The total is 144,000 Rev.14:1-6,7; Rev.20:1-6,12,13; No Satan, the heavenly for the new heavens are with Jesus at his coming to resurrect the earthly for the new earth. 2Pet.3:13; as promised Isa.45:18. 65:17; 66:1,22,23; Rev.21:1-5 [ All made new ]; 8 [ the second death ];
Rev.20:7-10; After the 1000 years Satan is cast into the lake of fire, fire from heaven devours or consumes Gog and Magog. All other enter into the kingdom paradise of God as promised Luke 23:43; Rev.2:7; Rev.22:14;
Religion is religion and bible is bible, I was reared in religion, from age 27, now 44 years, I stay in the bible, I do not want to get it wrong.
As far as I know to date, I am of the earthly as Abraham, Isaac and Jacob Matt.8:11; also John the baptist the last prophet, and all the others, because the least with Jesus is greater than John who was the best of the earthly best.

Answer 3

Hey there!

For starters, I am so glad that you made the effort to attend last night. That is VERY GREAT!

The reason nobody partakes of it is b/c it is reserved for the anointed as was brought out last night, for the 144,000 going to heaven. Revelation 14:1 The most of us, the great crowd, who have the earthly hope of living on earth in Paradise, we resepectly obeserve. ( of course the most important reason is because this is something we were told to do and something we want to do, because of what Jesus did for us) Most Congregations will have nobody partake as there are few anointed left on earth. The anointed that partake KNOW beyond a doubt they are of the heavenly hope as you heard last night. Romans 8:16,17 Holy spirt bears witness with thier spirt, THEY KNOW! It is not up for question. They live their life the way Jehovah wants them to. The anointed ones are sure of their hope.

Anyway, I hope that this helps!

Greetings Rob,
May Jehovah and Jesus bless you for commemorating w/ us the Lord's Evening meal. It was a prelude to the greatest show of Love for humanity as you know.

Since you are a Pastor, you probably know that the Lord's Last Supper ( as popularly known) was patterned after the Jewish pass over. In Exodus 12:43,44 God specifically excluded others (foreigners, temporary residents, or hired workers ) who were w/ the Israelites from partaking of the lamb--although they were present during the meal. As we all know this lamb pre-figured Christ's sacrifice.

Note too the background of the actual "last supper". Only Christ's disciples were present, no crowds at all, since it was done in a private home. Ever asked: "why did Jesus institute this meal w/ his disciples alone and not w/ others as he customarily did" ?

The answer is in Luke 22:17-19; 28-30. This states that Christ instituted a New Covenant for a kingdom where his disciples were to sit on thrones. That is why, only those spirit annointed Christians who will rule w/ Christ have the right to partake of the bread and the wine. The apostle Paul confirmed this in 1Corin 11:27-29 when he warned that before anyone should partake of the emblems they should first examine themselves if they are part of that group ( the Lord's body).

So since no one in the hall that you attended was part of the annointed ones, no one partook of the emblems ( bread and wine )

But, does this mean that Christ's sacrifice was meant only for those annointed ones? No! It would be unloving for him.
1John 2:2 speaks of two kinds of saving effect of Christ's sacrifice. It says: 'Christ is the means by which ours [the annointed] sins are forgiven; yet not only ours but for the whole world's too.'

I hope I satisfactorily answered your question. Please continue studying the Bible w/ JW's. Though they do not claim to know 100% of the truth, they are very, very close to it. (compare w/ 1Corin 13:9 )

kind regards and love,
amboy

Answer 5

If you are annointed, meaning you are a member of the 144,000 that will serve in heaven with christ as kings, then you can partake of the offering of unleavened bread and wine. Everyone else passes the bread and wine in rememberance of Christ's sacrifice. Partaking the passed items is a special activity for people who believe they are annointed. Don't ask me how they know, I understand it is like a calling only they know.

The JW's believe that the earth will be restored to a paradise where all faithful followers will live in peaceful conditions and that only 144,00 people will go to heaven. The unfaithful will be destroyed and cease to exist (they do not go to hell).

If you are dead when the earth is restored to paradise, Jehovah will ressurect you to be judged for your deeds in life. If you were good you will have everlasting life and live in paradise earth, if you are bad you do not get everlasting life and are forgotten by Jehovah.

Answer 6

Because only the people that are going to rule with Jesus in heaven (revelation 5:10) can if the people dont read revelation might think that all christians will go to heaven but is in revelation 14:1-5 that said that only 144000 from all the earth are redeem from earth the first christians belongs to that group, but we know that we belong to the great crowd that if you read revelation you won´t find that said that are redeem from earth they are saved yes but they belong to the people Jesus said in Matthews 5:5 will inherit the earth.

Answer 7

ok, i am going to provide direct solutions a shot. *at the same time as someone asks a question on R&S that you JWs hardly ever answer with a right away answer? answer: it really is a lie. * maximum the time I note you answer circuitously and frequently your replies facet track the issue in question. answer: you're bias and in no way seeing immediately. (How am I doing to date? direct adequate for ya?) i am going to proceed *am i able to ask - and that i ask this properly meaningly - are you taught to respond to questions this way or do you answer this way because you extremely dont have a suitable answer? answer: it really is a pretend dichotomy. this suggests the question is per a pretend premise and provides 2 concepts (neither of that are perfect). "i'm curious to understand. I have a tendency to locate this also at the same time as centred on messaging with a JW...it style of feels you men prefer to get us facet tracked lol" answer: Your head and heart look weighed down with bitterness, maximum unchristian. i am going to wish God's love enters your heart so as that mocking and preconceived ideas would properly be washed out of your soul by technique of his grace. How do you want them apples? Direct adequate? Have a blessed day. Sunshine

Answer 8

Did you listen to the talk the brother gave before and during the memorial? He would have explained it better than we can on a website.

When Jesus instituted the Lord's Evening Meal, the only ones in the room with him were 11 of the 12 Apostles. Judas having been dismissed during the passover celebration. These 11 Apostles were the ones that Jesus was talking to at the time. They were the ones that Jesus set up a new covenent with. These Apostles were special. They were going to be some of the 144,000 to rule with Jesus in Heaven. Revelation 5:9 And they sing a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll and open its seals, because you were slaughtered and with your blood you bought persons for God out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, 10 and you made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God, and they are to rule as kings over the earth.”

So the Apostles and the rest of the 144,000 annointed will be kings and priests with Jesus in his heavenly Kingdom.

Now there will be another group of people. Those living forever on earth. These are the ones that the 144,000 and Jesus will rule over. These people, although benefitting from God's arrangement in heaven, are not in this special covenent with Jesus. They do not partake of the emblems. But we are there to observe this memorial in remembrance of what Jesus did for us. This is done out of respect and appreciation for Jesus and his father Jehovah.

How can a person know that he is one of the 144,000? The bible says at Romans 8:16 The spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are God’s children. 17 If, then, we are children, we are also heirs: heirs indeed of God, but joint heirs with Christ, provided we suffer together that we may also be glorified together.

If the holy spirit tells someone they are children of God, you can be absolutely sure that the person will know it positively.

Most of us do not have the hope of living in heaven. We will be living in the paradise earth where God intended mankind to live in the first place. The earth will once again be the peaceful paradise God planned it to be. People will live forever on it.

Remember, Jesus said he had two groups of people but under one shepherd. There were those of the little flock (which are the ones I spoke about earlier, 144,000) and then there is the great crowd which no man could number.

John 10:14 I am the fine shepherd, and I know my sheep and my sheep know me, 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I surrender my soul in behalf of the sheep.

16 “And I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; those also I must bring, and they will listen to my voice, and they will become one flock, one shepherd.

Rev 7:9 After these things I saw, and, look! a great crowd, which no man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes; and there were palm branches in their hands. 10 And they keep on crying with a loud voice, saying: “Salvation [we owe] to our God, who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb.”

So only those who are annointed by God will partake of the emblems during the memorial since they are the ones God and Jesus have made the covenent with.

HI
They are only for the adopted sons of God whom Christ bought. They are for the heavenly class and not the ones who have hope to live on the earth.
