@PlumblineFaith What else do you think itmeans when he tells them to eat and drink at home? If they do that, it means they won't be hungry for the gathered assembly, which is perfectly fine because they aren't supposed to eat a full meal together as communion.
You've missed the whole point.
@PlumblineFaith I did, wrote seminary papers on it even.
Paul told them to eat and drink at home, because the point wasn't to have a meal and get full.
@JustinBerkobien If you don't think God has a problem with atheists, you've either never read or just simply don't care what your Bible says.
You are a joke of a "Rev".
@just_keep_read@Soteriology101 Ah, that’s not how I take the statement he is presently the atoning sacrifice (that is what Catholics say is happening every time they take the Eucharist in Mass.). He was once for all our propitiation and he lives to make intercession for us now.
@J__Clubs@j_fishback Your language shows how much you love Jesus.
Oh wait, I forgot, what you believe about Jesus or what your life looks like doesn’t matter as long as you do the works.
@roddreher Weird I love
In a deep red county in a swing state and I don’t know a single trump voter who has “had it” or plans to stay home in. November.
@NathanJRobinson We can answer it: because she can and because she cares more about her children than unknown nebulous children she's never met. That assumes she loves her children though, which hasn't been proven.
@just_keep_read@Soteriology101 God so loved the world (in rebellion against him). The way I know 1 John didn't mean every person is because he said Jesus was the propitiation for the sins of the world. That means he removed God's wrath. All sins for which God has been propitiated will not be punished again
