And yet we wouldn't be teaching unsaved people about communion

Communion is something a person does AFTER they get saved.

Well, it's your choice you know.

Matthew 13:52 Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.

God blessings 🙌

What does the above have to do with my response to the fact that communion is not for unbelievers?

It's for believers only.

"I dont make sense?"

Matthew 13:11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

to understanf fully you nost believe otherwisr CH

you misunderstand what Jesus meant, at the last supper,

Jesus took bread and said, “This is My body,” and took the cup, saying, “This is My blood of the new covenant, shed for the remission of sins” (Matthew 26:26–28; Mark 14:22–24; Luke 22:19–20). The bread represents His body, broken for us, and the wine represents His blood, poured out for the forgiveness of sins. Jesus also said, “Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life” (John 6:53), but this was symbolic. He meant that we must spiritually accept His sacrifice and trust Him, not that we literally eat His body or drink His blood. The bread and wine are reminders to believe in Him, honor His sacrifice, and enter into the new covenant with God. Jesus said do this in remembrance of Me, A gesture to remember.

And what's the body and blood of Christ?

Did you see His blood dripping in me?

Did you see a chunk of His meat in my mouth?

That's why Jesus says this:

John 3:10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?

I say this:

Are you a Christian and kmowest not these things?

To whom are you addressing your question?
 
I believe the gospel should be preached in the church. More importantly why it was needed.
Answering the question of why the sacrifice. Why a sacrifice, and why Christ was and is the only one who could do it.
We do not have blind faith nor are carried away by a joyful yet tragic story .
Imo Christianity needs to be explained as to not only what we believe but why.
The Apostles and Paul had only the old testament to preach from yet convinced many.
The bible is broken up into 3 topics.....He's coming......He's here......He's coming back.

How would you defend 🤔 if they asked you that communion part?

Communion is something a person does AFTER they get saved.

Would you say to them only when you're saved then you faced that?

Yes, I would tell them they had better NOT take communion until after they have repented of their sins and become born again

Eating and drinking unworthily refers to partaking in the Lord's Supper (communion) without proper self-examination and respect for its significance, which will lead to judgment or condemnation. This is found in 1 Corinthians 11:27-29, where it warns that those who do so are guilty of disrespecting the body and blood of the Lord.

Those that have not been born again, or those who have that are living in sin should never take communion until they get right with the Lord, otherwise they will reap judgment or condemnation due their sowing to the flesh (sin) causing them to reap corruption (Gal 6:7,8)

So when are we going to start accepting what God says in His Word and quit playing games?

The last days are upon is and those playing religious games are headed someplace they are not expecting to go!

Many among us don't know where their bible is, much less what's in it.

Are you trying to say you know the bible very well? Do you think I'm ignorant what's a holy communion is?
Like you received glory by explaining to me? And received praises from your peer here?
