Amen!
And I am not a cannibal.
Luke 4:4 KJV
And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
You, not those who will have Communion with any and all believers, are causing division within the body of Christ.
So when you take communion, you see yourself as essentially getting married to all those present?

You are if those who have departed from what has been taught of old and are causing the division.

Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.

Dont take the analogy too far. (But of coarse you will so...there is that)
The point is you are in covenant with those with whom you commune, and it is a blood covenant.

So in this analogy you see that a table is more than furnature, but is also who ever sits at it, particularly who sets at the head.
I think we're done here. I have a feeling the next words out of your mouth are going to be how much you hate stupidity and goodbye. So I won't ask any more stupid questions.

Why would you say that.
What baffles me, is that you believe what the bible says about so much, and are particularly strong on baptism, why is it such a sticking point for communion to be exactly what Jesus said it is.
What I meant is that it would be false to dismiss the spiritual aspect of the symbols. As to your question it is purely hypothetical, so let's not even go there.
I don't dismiss the spiritual benefits. Further posts speak to it. I realize that it's difficult to read all the posts without responding as one follows along. I believe there can be great benefit to those who practice communion regularly and reverently.
Then that one should not receive communion at all rather than compromising his or her beliefs. It still isn't syncretism though.

According to Jesus-- as an expert witness in all matters pertaining to
Christianity --when people correctly eat his flesh, and correctly drink his
blood; they obtain eternal life on the spot: no delay, and no waiting period
because the verb "has" in the verse below is present tense rather than
future.
● John 6:54 . . Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life
One of the advantages of eternal life is resilience: it never wears out, never
wears down, never gets old, and never dies, i.e. eternal life is immune to
death.
That being the case, then it's necessary for Christ's diners to eat his flesh
and drink his blood only one time and one time only-- never again because
eternal life doesn't need to be replenished.
Speaking with the woman at the well, Jesus said:
"People soon become thirsty again after drinking this water. But the water I
give them takes away thirst altogether. It becomes a perpetual spring within
them, giving them eternal life." (John 4:13-14)

When I started this topic I didnt think it would be so contested. For me communion is a personal time between me and the Lord and I do consider using leven bread a sin even tho it is symbolic. Because of the Passover unleavened bread would have been used but also signifies his sinless body. So I do this in rememnbrance of Him
1 Cor 11: 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
27 Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord. 28 Let a man examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For any one who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment upon himself. 30 That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died

You consider it a sin for someone to pay reverence to Jesus Christ. That doesn’t make sense.
