In this short video, the speaker asks whether the Catholic practice of withholding communion from sinners is supported by Scripture. He references 1 Corinthians 11:27, which warns that partaking of the Lord’s Supper in an unworthy manner brings guilt concerning the body and blood of Christ. He cites the problems faced by the early Corinthian church—illness and death among believers after communion—as evidence that improper participation can have serious consequences. The speaker concludes that denying communion to those who are sinning is a righteous, biblically‑based command, and ends with a call to subscribe and comment.

Chapters

Do you think the Catholic tradition of withholding communion is biblical? The answer may actually surprise you. The Corinthians were having all kinds of issues after taking communion. People were getting sick, ill, and some were even dying. Stick around until the end, you find out why. In Paul's first letter, he wrote to them in chapter 11, verse 27. It says, whoever therefore Eats the bread and drinks the cup in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and the blood of the Lord. The punishment extends to the larger body of Christ, and believe it or not, withholding communion because of sin is a righteous command. Subscribe and comment amen.
