We have followed strictly the biblical example. The celebration was instituted on an annual observance and we have followed that example.

As I stated there is not a shred of evidence in the scripture to suggest that the record of a simple communal meal constitutes a celebration of the memorial of Christ death, you simply made it up.
Originally posted by Rajk999breaking bread is simply a common expression for taking a meal. I did not make it up. You on the other hand have ASSUMED that it always and specifically refers to the Lords evening meal, without a shred of Biblical evidence.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieAccording to your very own passage which you quoted in the opening post, Christ 'broke the bread'.. This is called by the Apostles the breaking of bread and is a completely separate thing from a meal.

Originally posted by Rajk999I have just provided a plethora of evidence, you make reference to that, the five times where the term breaking bread is used in the scriptures the majority of which refer to a communal meal. No its not completely separate because the term which you have interpreted as being evidence of the Lords evening meal occurs five times in scripture and is exactly the same, I suggest you go away and learn where it is used and for what.

There is nothing called 'communal meal' in the Bible.
There is mention of 'supper' which people often eat together.
There is 'breaking of bread', done in ...[text shortened]... remembrance of the death of Christ.
Im not interested in your links to the opinion of others.

That's a 5,000% increase over your weedy once per year. When it comes to "rememberence" you guys are in the lower leagues.
breaking bread is simply having a communal meal there is NO indication that this was a memorial celebration of Christs death and what is more tradition has it that the apostles celebrated an annual event. We have followed strictly the biblical example. The celebration was instituted on an annual observance and we have followed that example.
