one thing I want Christians to understand is that despite differences in sub-doctrinal beliefs/ denominations we are all one in the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12). we shouldn't want to be separate from each other, but one in Christ. (1 Corinthians 1:10).
You should do a video on the Deuterocanon I'm interested to see the reformed position on that. Also a "Why I'm not a Quaker" video since I am unsure of what they believe and their history.
why does an ordained minister have to be the one who prepares communion? I might just be ignorant for this specific thing but is there biblical support for that?
So what is the reformed view on ordination as it relates to the Lord's supper? For instance if a group of Christians take the Lord's Supper together without the presence of an ordained minister, does it "work"? What about when Baptists take the Lord's Supper? Is Christ's really present there even if the Baptist don't recognize that in the same way that Reformed churches do? For context I'm a Baptist missionary in Japan, but we often work with a Presbyterian group from Singapore, and even have a Presbyterian church in the US supporting us, so your channel has been really helpful in understanding a bit more where these Christian brothers and sisters are coming from theologically.
In the previous verses before John 6:55 ("For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.") doesn't Christ compare himself to the manna as he did with the woman at the well, but with water instead? (John 4:13-14 "Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.")
What about if someone is from one denomination but only has Churches from other denominations around them? Is the eating of communion still uniting them to Christ?
If they are of a separate denomination they have to be careful. There are many rules surrounding communion. It is Sacred and if you are not in that denomination and do not have the same beliefs of it as the other denomination then you would be desecrating it. I’m Catholic so my views may be different than yours as I believe in the Eucharist as Transubstantiation. But if you aren’t a denomination I would say just don’t take communion
What do you think of ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-soCkftBBsBo.html I have always wondered what the sort of mainline protestant view of it would be.
Can someone give me talking points and scripture to re-introduce the Eucharist to my baptist/non-denom friends? They are great Christians but they fell for the "just a symbol" trap.
John 6 talk to them about Jesus speaking literally. Towards the end of the chapter he says “Truly, Truly I say to you unless you eat of the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood you shall have no life within you.” (John 6:53). Like he said in the video Jesus was being literal in this situation the disciples were grumbling at this saying but Jesus did not clarify or refute his speech nor did he intend to. He was being serious the Eucharist is the Body and Blodd of Christ. (I’m Catholic do I believe it’s physical and spiritual) don’t know what denomination you are. Don’t really know if it matters but I hope this helps!
My personal string quartet arrangement of Psalm 36 from the Genevan Psalter, written by Claude Goudimel in the 1500s at the commission of John Calvin himself
Is means Is. Jesus said "This is my body". You can reject Transubstantiation (because Transubstantiation is kind of defining a mystery and can potentially be wrong), but you can't reject Real Presence.
What do you mean by "real presence"? Isn’t the Lord always present at Church? *Matthew 18* _20 "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."_
@@redeemedzoomer6053 So Do you mean that by performing the Lord’s Supper you are eating and drinking the body and blood of Jesus, not physically as in the wine and the bread literally becoming Christ, but as in something happens to you spiritually speaking when you participate of it?
I'm not a part of the federal vision crowd but I believe in paedocommunion. It just seems logical and consistent to me. Paul says Israel was baptised in the red sea and ate the manna and drank the water from the rock and he uses this as parallel to the Sacraments. Children did all those things. Unless you want to say they left the children on the shore with the Egyptians and didn't feed them the manna or the water?
I think you are looking for the word substance. The Doctors of the Church really don’t use the word “physical” so as to avoid appearing to believe the bread and wine change from bread and wine physically to body and blood. The Holy See outright denies we cannibalisticly consume Christ in his humanity. Instead, the idea of a change of substance while maintaining secondary properties like taste touch smell is put forth by Church. I would read Session 13 of the council of Trent in response to the reformation and The Catechism of the Catholic Church Pt 2 section 5 for a better outlining of the position.
