But all the festivals and passover celebrations, etc, etc, were all done annually. Since Jesus made no referance to this being any different as he no doubt would have, then anyone with any clue to past Bible events and historical knowledge would see this would clearly be the same. Is not the pagan holiday of Christmas which is supposed to be the celebration of his birth done annually? Why should the memorial of his death be different?
Think on this my friend and don't argue just to argue. If you simplify the Bible back to what it says and don't let the influance of false, man made ideas creep in, the Bible is very clear.

Clearly not since the early Christian church from apostolic times celebrated the Lord's supper on a weekly basis.

It isn't. As I said, the commemoration of the Lord's death is an annual event. The point is that it is not the same thing as the commemoration of the Lord's supper. Surely it is no coincidence that you make the same mistakes as Robbie.

Originally posted by galveston75Look, it's only a game because you want it to be. Here are the known facts: 1. Scripture does not answer when the memorial of the Lord's supper is to be celebrated; and 2. the early Christian church, from apostolic times, celebrated it weekly, leaving the commemoration of the Lord's death as a separate feast day. The burden of proof is on you to give evidence that the Lord's supper is to be celebrated only annually. Clearly the early Church (which, after all, was very close to the time of the writing of the Scriptures) would not agree with you.
OK..not going to play this game. If your that easily confused by mans ideas instead of common sense and the Bible's examples of hstory, there's not much I can do to help you.
Originally posted by Conrau KI find it quite interesting that the JW's make a big deal of the comemmoration of Christ's death, yet they don't celebrate the ressurection, because they do not believe in the bodily ressurection of Christ...yet another heresy

Originally posted by robbie carrobieChrist is the passover literally. The substance is in and with Christ. His blood which covers the sins and judgement is passed over.
because Jesus instituted it on an annual celebration, the passover. Can you find him
doing it anywhere else in the entire biblical cannon? nope neither can I. If Christ had
meant it to happen haphazardly as you say, there would be evidence of it, there is
none. We are trying to conform to the exact pattern set by Christ, even to the time

Man this is so deja vu !!! I hate the Catholic religion and the JW religion the same. I hate it because it's just a big pissing match. The book of Colossians speaks on this clearly.
16Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day--
17things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.
And somewhere else it says no man judge for to some everyday is holy while to others it does not matter.

Originally posted by Dowardnope, another piece of evidence that proves beyond a doubt that you have no idea what you are talking about. why dont you hold an inquisition, get your priests to test us with torture and burn us if we are found to be heretical? It is also noted that once again you have failed to tell the forum what you know of our observance, yet you seem to have the most inflated opinions on the matter. To term it an empty ritual, must be the ultimate irony, considering what transpires at mass, it is to laugh.

Originally posted by menace71go to the K/Hall near your home Manny, you will observe a simple ceremony, no golden candlesticks, no alter boys with incense, no ruby encrusted rings to kiss, no purple robes, just simple unleavened bread and wine, in commemoration of Christ's sacrificial body and blood, which made it possible for us to come into a relationship with God on the basis of that sacrifice and to receive forgiveness for sin, cleansing our consciences.
