I am not aware of any list of Scriptures the original composers of the creed used. The canon of the NT had not been determined yet. Although scripture was read in liturgy regularly, it probably was not yet developed into chapters and verses. That was done primarily for the use within liturgy...

The same scriptures as have previously referenced on this thread are agreed upon virtually by all who embrace the Apostles Creed to support this article of faith. All believers living on earth or in heaven are saints.

I haven't read of other views regarding 'the communion of saints' other than this one. Catholic, Orthodox, Anglicans, Lutherans and most Protestants interpret the "communion of saints" in the Apostles' Creed as the spiritual fellowship of all believers, both living on earth (Church Militant)...

The communion of saints has historically always been defined as 'the unifying nature of all who are in the body of Christ' both in heaven and on earth. It has never been connected to the Eucharist.

Just finished praying for your healing. Sepsis is serious and I will be asking my prayer partners to add you to the intercession list

Somebody's cranky today

Again, here is a disciple of John, who (according to the NT) was taught 'at the apostles feet' who you say 'got it all wrong' and believed ' damnable heresy'. That is, unless you try to spin his words somehow to mean that he really only meant the Eucharist was 'like' His flesh. And, of...

JesusFan, I sincerely apologize for my rude, knee jerk response to your question. It was uncalled for. I can do better. Your concern is a valid one that was also a fairly common accusation the Romans made against the early Christians. There are historical records that indicate early...

I stopped trying long ago

Wow! How big is your God? Again, it is a SUPERNATURAL, unbloody action. Do you really keep God in such a little box?

BTW, not just Rome, Anglicans, Orthodox, Presbyterians,, Methodists, etc., etc., state Jesus Last Supper was the first Eucharist.

Nope! This act is not considered cannibalism because it is a supernatural, unbloody action (substance changed, accidents of bread/wine remain) rather than the physical, violent consumption of human flesh.

Lower your hopes that he will do anything of the kind. He uses just about any thread to cut & paste his dogmatic interpretations in which if you challenge you are either demonic or Hell bound. You will notice he will address you as 'brother' until you disagree with him and then you better 'be...

Hi Martin: been a while you and I talked. You mentioned the Lollards. Certainly the challenge to the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist has an unbroken history throughout the Christian Church before them? A group or groups of Baptistic Christian's that would be recognized as very close to...

One of the hang ups many people on this board would be the thinking that the Eucharist is simply a memorial. It isn't either/or, it is both 'The Eucharist is the same sacrifice that was offered 2,000 years ago inasmuch as it is the same priest and the same victim being offered, but at the same...

He has an agenda and it never relates to the OP.

Hopefully you didn't get hit too hard by the blizzard and your chickens are OK. We are on the backside of Winter now. Thanks be to God!

He goes off on rants after posting many, many verses not relevant to the OP. He the always suggests that if you don't agree with him you better 'be prepared and get ready' for Hell. The moderator's have allowed this but I think most of us ignore him.
