Holy Communion Part 1

Although I am naming this post Holy Communion, I could have as easily have called it The Christian Passover. In many churches across america they conduct a religious holiday of eating unleavened bread and drinking either wine or grape juice. Communion is usually done once a month in most Protestant churches and the Catholic church calls it the Eucharist and have it every day. So depending on the denomination, they have different names, days, methods, and times to consume the unleavened bread and to drink the wine.

What is the origin of this religious event, and if it has a biblical basis and if we are commanded to take part in it, then which denomination is doing it correctly?

I have been told by Protestants that Holy Communion is a symbolic gesture of our good nature toward God. I have no idea what this means and makes no sense whatsoever, so I really can't comment on it.

In Catholicism the main idea is that it's the actual body and blood of the Messiah (Jesus). Because in Luke22:19 it states: “this is my body.” The word “is” in English means: amounts to, equals, comprises, signifies, or means according to; Websters New World Thesaurus 1971 edition. So to interpret "is" as the literal actual body of the Messiah is a stretch.

Of course if this is just a symbol as the Protestants say, then why even do it? Because we are warned that if we participate in this symbol unworthily, then we are guilty of the body and blood of the Lord and are dammed according to; 1 Cor 11: 27-29. With such a stiff warning from the Bible, one would think that people would rarely participate in this event or at the very least, be very cautious about this whole event that is if it's just simply a symbol.

I have never been in any church service, Protestant nor Catholic where I have ever seen anyone ever refuse to consume the host or bread, and the wine or Grape drink. I have never seen even one person refuse to take it ever.

Is it safe for me to assume that everyone is holy enough to take it in a worthy manner? Realistically speaking, I am sure there's at least one person that is taking Communion in an unworthy  manner and are damming themselves according to Matt 7:21.

Yashua Messiah (Jesus) is the Passover Lamb celebrated during Holy Communion.

It's incorrectly believed by every single church I have ever laid foot in, that the communion or sacrificing of lambs for Passover began with Moses in Egypt and they also incorrectly believe the law of God originally came through Moses at Mt. Sinai.

The truth is that the Sacrificing of Lambs for the remission of sins began in the Garden of Eden after Adam and Eve sinned. The Sacrificing of the lamb was for Adam (Adam means ruddy or to show blood in the face, Strong's # 119 and 120), to give up the best lamb they had for Father Yahweh of their flock. This is for the remission of personal sins in the belief that another (Yashua Messiah) would come to take away the sins of the world, in much the opposite way that that sin came into the world by one man (Adam).

The sacrificing of a lamb is the reason that Cain killed Abel in the Garden of Eden, as the father wanted a sacrificial lamb from both Cain and Abel. Cain offered a fruit of the ground, I.e. watermelon or some other fruit of the ground the ground (Gen 4:3). This sacrifice was promptly rejected by the Father, and the Father even gave the serpent seed (Cain) a chance to correct his error and he still refused; Verse 7. This is because the Father requires the best from us. This is a test because if someone is unable to give the Father the very best they have, in this case a lamb, then they are in no way willing to give everything they have. The Father does not require us to give up everything we own normally, he does require us to be willing to give up the best we have and quite possibly everything we have, including our lives if asked; Luke 18:18-30.

Meanwhile the sacrificial lamb, and the following of Yah's laws continued years later with Abraham...

The sacrificial lamb (Gen 22:8), and the laws of God (Gen 26:4-5), are also in the story of Abraham. The willingness of Abraham to sacrifice Isaac and to follow the laws of God is the basic concept and thus the nucleus of that formed the Nation of Israel. The Nation of Israel continued with this practice even when they sojourned in Egypt. Eventually living in Egypt for 430 years the Israelites ended up losing their identity of who they were, lost track of the practices required of them from the Father and became slaves to the Egyptians before the great Exodus through gradualism, or liberalism if you want to call it that.
