If we were to gather ourselves as a local body of believers to partake of the Lord's broken bread and and the cup of His new testament blood, what would we discern of the Lord's body? Would we let the Holy Spirit convict us as we take a moment to examine ourselves according to the faith or would we partake of the bread and cup unworthily? The bread and cup that is to be taken as often as we do is done in remembrance of the Lord and His death until He comes.
1Cor 11:26-30
26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.
27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
This letter was delivered to the church at Corinth because of the many problems they were having with communion and with one another in that local expression of the body of Christ. Paul seems to be redirecting them concerning the Lord's supper (v.23-25) and what took place and for what purpose it was instituted as the last supper. There were definite consequences for some who would eat and drink unworthily (treating it as a common, unfit and unclean thing) and would be guilty of the body and blood bringing damnation (a form of disciplined judgment) upon themselves, as mentioned in (v.27,29, 30).
Did the consequences of this damnation, with many being weak and sickly and others having fallen asleep through death, befall them because their lives where being lived unworthily outside the faith having no discernment as to the what the body and blood of Christ has done for them through His death? Was this case at Corinth an example of what happens to believers who do not eat and partake of Christ's flesh and drink His blood in a worthy manner? Can we live in sin outside the faith we have been given and partake of the body and blood of Christ and live?

That's a good thing and not to be condemned but would it have been better to first examine ourselves through the cross and be convicted through the word and Spirit, confess to God according to what we are convicted and then by faith partake of communion. We don't have to get into repentance to partake, just examine, be convicted, name it and go on by faith and partake. Should we lose or forfeit an opportunity for fellowship and communion with Christ and His body when He has already judged and put away our sins?
Before the feast of the passover in (Jn 13) the Lord rose up from supper and girded Himself with a towel and washed the disciple's feet. He told them they would not understand what He was doing but later they would (Jn 13:7). In (Mt 26) at the time of the passover, Jesus and the (12) disciples sat down to eat the passover, as they were eating He took the bread and the cup and blessed and gave thanks giving to the disciples to take and eat and drink. There was a time of washing their feet before He broke bread with them.
The Lord did the same in (Jn 21) with the fire, fish and bread He had waiting for them at the shore of the sea of Tiberias after the disciples had forsaken Him and many had gone with Peter fishing. There was no condemnation but plenty of self examination in the hearts of the disciples when they saw the Lord. Them drawing near to eat with Him revealed the grace that was in their hearts and the fellowship they desired of the Lord. In (v.13) the Lord took the bread and gave to them and the fish likewise. The bread typified His body that was broken for them but the fish typified what he had promised and called them to do in (Mt 4:19, Mk 1:17), 'Come and follow me and I will make you a fishers of men,'

Well I see your still upset. Sorry. No I did not dismiss it, I was trying to make sure you were not relating it to communion or the Eucharist as many people do. if you have discussed john 6 wiht many Catholics you would understand where I am coming from.
Yes, this meat which never dies, and keeps on feeding us day after day until we die. Which was my point.
Again, i was not trying to argue, Just saying we must be careful, again, if you have discussed this with many Catholics, you would understand my reasoning.

Passover was a symbol, The law of the sacrifice was a symbol. God commanded many of his people Old and NT to do things whihc were symbols of reality, They are teaching tools. Just because God commanded us to do something does not mean it is not a symbol. This is exactly why I had the discussion with Barleygirl, because people like you distort John 6 and make its meaning totally useless.
