Remembering Christ in the Lord’s Supper and defining the gospel
Claim examined: Worship, music, and prayer
Scriptural Answer
James PROVES by his very words that he still does NOT understand the word of God!!! The apostle Paul PLAINLY stated that the GOSPEL was the DEATH, BURIAL and RESURRECTION of Christ in 1 Cor 15:1-4. It is INTERESTING to note that NOT once does any apostle EVER state that the Lord's Supper was the GOSPEL. We REMEMBER Jesus death when we partake of the LORD's SUPPER (eating the bread AND drinking the fruit of the vine) but there is NO mention of this being the gospel. If you make the Lord's Supper (what Catholics call the Eucharist) then you put your faith in some wafer instead of Jesus DEATH, BURIAL and RESURRECTION!!! When we partake of the Lord's Supper, it is EXACTLY as Paul stated in 1 Cor 11:23-26, "For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took BREAD; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take, eat; THIS IS MY BODY WHICH IS BROKEN FOR YOU; DO THIS IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME." In the same manner He also took the CUP after supper, saying, "THIS CUP IS THE NEW COVENANT IN MY BLOOD. THIS DO, AS OFTEN AS YOU DRINK IT, IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME." For as often as you EAT THIS BREAD and DRINK THIS CUP, you PROCLAIM THE LORD's DEATH TILL HE COMES. We observe the Lord's supper in REMEMBRANCE of Jesus DEATH!!! There is NO MENTION nor is there even any hint that this is the GOSPEL as James FALSELY asserts. Please notice that James (once again) does NOT provide ANY proof to back up his ASSERTION that the Lord's Supper (eucharist) is the GOSPEL. Nor will you likely hear any biblical proof coming from him for his assertion is just that, an assertion. I am sure that if he had proof, he would provide it!!!!
