Written by Paul to the church in Corinth.

"Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord."

Scripture is very clear on the matter of the bread being the body and the wine the blood of Christ, and they exist as such in the heart of the believer.

I think it is the same for the Baptist as the Catholic, or it should be.

I have seen people turn down Communion because their heart was not in the proper place. Perhaps I should have turned away from the cup and bread at times past. As I have grown in understanding, I have learned to examine myself before taking the sacrament He said was so important.

good post, JV
