Summary
Episode 953 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions.
Questions in this Episode
1. Is it ok for me to serve communion to my family around dinner?
2. Is it sinful to get a tattoo to memorialize my friend who died?
3. I have heard that when a believer sins we are separated temporarily from God. I don't think people mean we have lost our salvation when they say this, but this seems confusing and maybe unhelpful. Is the language of being separated or losing God's presence appropriate in light of the New Covenant realities we have as Christians?
4. What did Jesus mean in John 14 that the disciples could not go with him?
5. How can I know which tradition or denomination in Christianity is right?

| 0:49.1 | at core Christianity.com. First up today, let's go to Garrett, who's calling in from Indiana. |
| 0:56.2 | Garrett, what's your question for Pastor Adriel? |
| 0:59.2 | Yes, I appreciate you taking my call. I have a two-fold question regarding the |
| 1:04.4 | Lord's Supper or Holy Communion. The first part is there are different, of course, |
| 1:10.4 | accounts of when Jesus gave the final supper or the Lord's |
| 1:14.0 | supper. Is it custom that we should just use bread and wine or bread and juice, or is it okay to have a meal and share with the believers? |
| 1:25.5 | And the second part is who can administer the actual Lord's |
| 1:30.5 | supper? Does it have to be a rabbi, a priest, or an ordained minister, a licensed minister? |
| 1:36.7 | The reason I'm asking because I'm the head of my household, and would it be okay for me to |
| 1:42.6 | administer the Lord's supper in my household to my family? And if it's not, will I be guilty |
| 1:49.1 | of the shedding of the blood of Jesus Christ? |
| 1:53.1 | Garrett, thank you so much for this question. I think |
| 1:58.3 | when it comes to the Lord's Supper and just Christian worship in general, we want to follow the instructions that Jesus gave to us. |
