reply to a legalist…my comments in red

1.    I’m not sure where you get the “no women” passage. (  okay, my point is that is no evidence of woman being present – only men are named – the bible is silent on this J )   While some believe that the first century church met daily to eat the Lord’s Supper, I do not. I know they met from house and broke bread, but I understand that to be a common meal. ( you understand this to mean they had a common meal, what about others who see this as they met daily to “ break bread”  i.e., the Lords Supper, the question is will God send you to hell if your view of this is wrong ) What I do know is that the Corinthian church ate the Lord’s Supper every Lord’s Day ( can you prove they ate the Lords Supper every Sunday ) and based on their example we do likewise. ( do you meat daily per the example and break bread – common meal or the Lords Supper and have you sold everything you own per the example in Acts ) After all, they lived in the first century with the Apostles (Paul wrote two letter to them and visited them) and if they were not in line with God’s will, then they would have been corrected. It would have been easy for the apostles to say “eat the Lord’s Supper everyday” or once a month, year, bi-monthyly, etc. ( Jesus said “as often as” so did Paul ) But they ate the Lord’s Supper on the first day of the week. ( per one example and many also teach they met daily for the Lords Supper ie., breaking bread – but here you have to write this off by calling it a common meal because it doesn’t fit your theology – I could just as easy say that Acts 20:7 was a common meal ) So why shouldn’t we follow their example since they apparently got it right. ( do you follow the example of selling all of your goods as did some in the early church –There is nothing wronh with honoring Christ each Sunday, I think its great, but its legalistic to say one cant honor Christ say each Sunday and each Tuesday if he so desires, seeing this is “as often as” )Besides all this, we carry with us the resurrection of Jesus everyday. As a Christian, we live as resurrected people – raised from the dead (spiritually) and live (spiritually), seated in the heavenly realms with Christ. The Lord’s Supper is designed to bring Christians together to examine, anticipate, and proclaim the Lord’s death, until he comes. And we do that every Sunday, following the lead of the first century church. )( I think you were right with the opening sentence – we carry with us the resurrection of Jesus everyday. And Paul even warned people not to honor days…so maybe its best we honor Christ “as often as”)Now if someone wants to eat it two, three, five times a week, I suppose they could. ( I agree and there is no place stating it a sin to do so ) My question would be why? ( maybe some wish to honor Christ via the Lords Supper more than just each Sunday and no where caould that be considered a sin ) How are they justifying that with Scripture and first century example? ( Again , per the words of Christ “as often as” ) Can they give a reason for why they do what they do? ( what is the reason you have the Lords Supper each Sunday – to honor Christ or honor each Sunday , so will God send one to hell for honoring Christ more than each Sunday via the Lords Supper )Will God send someone to hell for eat the Lord’s Supper more than once a week? God can do whatever he wants…He is God after all. And no one can argue with his decision because he always acts justly. ( I agree, and you know better to play God and say God will send one to hell for honoring Christ more than each Sunday via the Lords Supper – thank you for making my point )
