all of you. This is my blood of the covenant which is poured out
for many for the forgiveness of sins." Matthew 26:26 - 29
""...'this is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of
me....this cup is the new covenant in my blood, do this, whenever
you drink it ,in remembrance of me. For whenever you eat this bread
and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes."
1 Cor.
What Jesus said when he instituted the Holy Communion, and what
Paul said to the Corithians is clear. Holy Communion is
to remember the the body of Christ
that was broken for us, the covenant of the blood that was shed for
us, and we eat and drink this cup to
proclaim the Lord's death till he comes. It is not my
opinion, it is what Jesus said.
Nothing is said about the power to heal , like the "bronze snake"
that Moses put up to heal those bitten by snake?
God may choose to heal us when we confessed our sins in our daily
devotion, or after a prayer in a fellowship or CG meeting, or after
partaking in a Holy Communion. But that does not mean daily
devotion, fellowship or CG meetings or Holy Communion have healing
power. The power to heal is with God. This is not just my opinion,
what is what I firmly believe.
To preach the power of healing in Holy Communion to the extent of
using milo and biscuits for Holy Communion at a patient's bedside
is Heresy.
Next time the church can sell the wine and the bread meant for Holy
Communion to members as health supplements.
