Communion Poll!

Follow up to this poll.

All but one church I've ever been in observed on the first Sunday of the month. This seems to be standard in Baptist and Baptist-ish churches.

Add-on question, does your church call it communion or the Lord's Supper? Or something else?

[artsyld]

The Lord's Supper/Communion/The Eucharist; The everlasting symbol of Christ's great sacrifice on the Cross. He fought for us then and fights for us still, even though He knows we will mess up.

Lord, help me to see others the way you do.

It's been 3 days I don't sit and eat like a normal person how the fuck can people live like this for years

[queerprayers]

i want to say first of all that i fully respect a community's/denomination's/culture's right to have closed practices. i am not entitled to other people's traditions, and when i am a guest in a space i understand that everything is not automatically for me. and i know i do not have to understand to respect.

and also! when i go to a catholic church and can't receive communion i want to fall on the floor weeping. what do you mean i can't have him he's right there. sorry my baptism was the wrong kind of baptism. i'm hungry and you want me to become someone else before being fed.

Stand up and be proud of who you are!

Fuck what our enemies think!

Blaspheme in the name of SATAN and stand proud as a Child of Satan Almighty!

Be proud as who you are whatever it may be and let your glory shine openly!

This is SATANS WORLD!!!

Mark 10, 35-40

Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him. “Teacher,” they said, “we want you to do for us whatever we ask.” “What do you want me to do for you?” he asked. They replied, “Let one of us sit at your right and the other at your left in your glory.” “You don’t know what you are asking,” Jesus said. “Can you drink the cup I drink or be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with?” “We can,” they answered. Jesus said to them, “You will drink the cup I drink and be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with, but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared.”

So it's so obvious to me that the reason Jesus denies them is because in His ears what they are asking for is to be crucified alongside Him. Of course they don't know, they can't know what they're saying, but He does. And it's so telling, too, that these verses come just after Jesus talking about Himself being mocked, spat on, flogged, killed, and then risen from the dead.

Just thinking about how Jesus must've seen before His eyes a brief image of His beloved boys crucified, writhing in agony. How He probably immediately thought: "no, please, everything but that!" And when they told Him they could drink this cup, i wonder if He was touched because He knew they would, maybe deciding for a millionth time over that He wishes to die for them - or if He got angry, because how could they say that?! they don't know what they're talking about, He would never let them! - or maybe if He was too tired and fed up with everything to even argue with them cause they wouldn't get it anyway, they never did. I always thought it was the first one. That He looked at them fondly and said, "okay, you will drink the cup, how could I say no to you, I love you".

But see, here's what's been bugging me: Jesus tells both John and Big James that they will drink from His cup, but then according to tradition John is the only apostle NOT to get martyred? This plot hole leads some to believe that maybe our beloved son of thunder did in fact get killed but no one knows about it? Or there was something lost in translation? And it all didn't make sense to me until I realized something:

You know how we Catholics call Holy Mary the Queen of Martyrs even though She never shed a single drop of blood? That's because She was spiritually martyred when She watched Her Son die and this alone made Her suffering far greater than that of all the other martyrs. Which is honestly crazy, in the best way possible. And guess what? John was there, too, at the foot of the cross. And he, too, watched his beloved get tortured and die. In fact, he was the only apostle to do that.

He drank from the cup. He was martyred by watching his Jesus die. His heart died alongside Him, and if its flesh was not torn, did it really mean it was broken any less?

And i was also thinking, what if that was what was meant to happen to all the apostles, but they forfeited it by running away?

The Lord's Supper

24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 25 In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes. — 1 Corinthians 11:24-26 | New American Standard Bible (NASB) New American Standard Bible®, Copyright © 1960, 1971, 1977, 1995, 2020 by The Lockman Foundation.
