daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to
house,
did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, Acts 2:46

The Daily
Communion Meal with believers, giving thanks to God,
breaking bread, sharing meat and drink together is for the edification
of the body
of Christ! And we are the body, spiritually! And we
have a body, physically!
There is also a
fantastic book titled “None of these Diseases”
that goes into much more detail:
http://www.amazon.com/None-These-Diseases-S-McMillen/dp/0800752333
And you cannot
forget the following verse:
And
said, If thou wilt diligently hearken
to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in
his sight,
and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I
will put
none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the
Egyptians: for
I am the LORD that healeth thee. Exodus 15:26
Regarding
communion we are also warned of not sharing our
food with others and the sin of gluttony when we partake of the food
and drink
with other believers. :
For
there must be also heresies among you,
that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.
When ye come
together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's
supper. For
in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is
hungry, and
another is drunken. What? have ye not houses to eat and to
drink in? or
despise ye the church of God, and
shame them
that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I
praise
you not. For I have received of the Lord that which also I
delivered unto
you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took
bread:
And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is
my
body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
After the
same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup
is the
new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in
remembrance of
me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye
do shew the
Lord's death till he come. 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. But let a man examine himself, and so let him
eat of that
bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh
unworthily,
eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's
body.
For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many
sleep. For if
we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when
we are
judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned
with the
world. Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat,
tarry one
for another. And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that
ye come not
together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I
come.
I
Corinthians 11:19-34
What we put in
our mouths does not make us unholy, but it
can make us sick. And how much we put in our mouths can also
make us
sick. And if we cannot control our hunger we should stay If
we come
together to share food with those that do not have food, we should eat
moderately.
However, there
is an abomination that has crept into some
churches that call themselves Christian. They substitute the
communion of
believers with the practice of partaking of a wafer in the shape of the
sun, on
the day, named after the sun. And they teach that through
magical transubstantiation
this wafer becomes the actual body of Jesus Christ. Does this
not turn them
into cannibals, by the very definition of the word? And
through this same
magical transubstantiation they teach that the small amount of wine
they also
administer, becomes the actual blood of Jesus Christ. Which
the drinking
of any actual blood, is forbidden by God.
Moreover
ye shall eat no manner of blood,
whether it be of fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings.
Whatsoever
soul it be that eateth any manner of blood, even that soul shall be cut
off
from his people. Leviticus
7:26-27
How more, are
they indeed eating and drinking condemnation
upon themselves.
Before thinking
oneself better than participating in these
abominations, search oneself and repent of any empty ceremonies, empty
traditions, that substitute for communion with believers, giving thanks
for
what Jesus Christ has provided, not only spiritual life, but physical
life. That means what we need to live, namely everything that
we eat and
drink. For all things were created through Jesus Christ.
For
by him were all things created, that
are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether
they be
thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were
created by
him, and for him: Colossians
1:16
Thou
art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory
and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy
pleasure
they are and were created. Revelation
4:11
So, be
admonished not to accept any empty traditions as
substitutes. Just as you would not accept the empty tradition
of
sprinkling a baby with water to substitute for the life giving spirit
baptism
of Jesus Christ, through the laying on of hands.
Then
said Paul, John verily baptized with
the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should
believe on
him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
When they
heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
And when
Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and
they spake
with tongues, and prophesied. Acts 19:4-6
And they, continuing
daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to
house,
did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, Acts 2:46
