Since we are instructed to do such as a memorial to Christ, and to signify His returning
There is no such verse.
There is no such verse.
1 Corinthians 11:26
26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
Have you read the bible?

Not wrong at all.Uh? Wrong. Again.
1Co 11:26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes.
Is being snippy demonstrating the Spirit of Christ? What did I to you, Amy, that you write so insultingly?
Not wrong at all.
Read the verse again. Then read what you said the verse says. Some verse are so familiar that we forget what they are really saying.
I am quite aware of the verse, and knew that you would quote it - with your signature chest-thumping.
You did this the other day in another thread claiming there was no such verse. You were proven wrong then too. It seems to me that you may be spending too much time reading Preterist material and not enough of the Word. I am no scholar by any stretch of the imagination but I knew exactly what verse JF was referring to in his post. You however, immediately posted "no such verse". If you've ever taken communion (I assume you have), this verse is a common one used in the service.
Chest-thumping? :laugh:
You mean what you were doing with your initial and incorrect post to the thread?
What did I say the verse said? I simply placed a quoted verse into my response. Now you're eisegeting my words as you do with The Word? Wow.
You've been proven incorrect. As Amy has instructed, put down your neo-gnostic Hymenaeus and Philetus-esque books on preterism and read the Bible instead.
This verse means exactly what it says; commemorating the death of Christ until He comes, which hasn't taken place as of yet, so we still practice this today.
Be a man and admit you're in error. Again. OK?
- Peace
"Peace"? You are adding phoniness to this? Oh well.
Yes, I will be a man right now and walk away from this juvenile argument.
There was no such verse that said all the things he said it said. If you were as careful a reader as a spiteful one you would have picked up on what I was saying.
And the only Preterist material I am reading is the Bible.

Just to save you the trouble of doing any more typing, Amy and preacher4, I am not able to see any of your comments, since you are on my ignore list since my reading of your last posts.
There is no such verse.
The key issue here is just what the purpose of communion should be. Preacher4truth wrote:
"Since we are instructed to do such as a memorial to Christ, and to signify His returning"
Let's look at the verse:
" For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. " - 1 Cor. 11:26
Now there is signifying in this verse, but it is not the Lord's coming. It is the Lord's death. When I said that "There is no such verse" I merely meant that the verse was being used to say what it did not say.
Now, as to whether Preterists should now no longer
observe Communion, since we believe the Lord's Parousia is already here: We are certainly free to observe it. Personally I always look forward to Communion.
The pivotal word here is that "until". This is just like the "until" in the Great Commision. Great will be with us until "the end of the age".
Does this mean that after the end of the age Christ will no longer be with us? Of course not. Wherever we place the "end of the age", both Preterists, and futurists understand that Christ is still with us, and will be forever.
The same applies to this passage.
There are three or four other passages in the Bible which uses the "until" in this (seemingly) misleading sense. If needed, I can dig them up.
So we take the cup to show that he died until he dies?
