it doesn't matter!
(grin)
what is important is that we allow God to meet us!
Lorna, it does matter because there is a completely insufficient level of internal conflict in the Body of Christ right now.
It's all good, brother!
Oreos
j/k
Definitely NOT Oreos (or potato chips, as my youth minister once suggested), but any actual bread will do.
WWJU?
We use unleaven bread. Though it really doesn't matter. I always have trouble picturing communion time as a meal though. I mean, speck of bread they give us wouldn't be enough to feed my pet mouse.
Back home in Alabama, we use Budweiser and moonpies.
Answer - yes.
While unleavened bread might be preferable, I think the best thing to do is to use a bread, when possible, actually baked by a church member, with the loaf or loaves brought to the altar as part of the morning offering. Very symbolic of using our God-given resources and talents for service.
I would vote a definite "no" to potato chips or doritos, unless there was absoltely nothing else available.
Go Keith.
I vote leavened because the wave offering of the two loaves in Leviticus was of leavened bread. In this case, the leaven symbolizes the life of the Spirit that is shared between pre-Christian and Christian followers of God. That parable of Christ's about the little bit of leaven leavening the whole lump is not about sin, but about the life of the Spirit.
