Is there Mixture in the body?

 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.  (2 Cor 6:16)

                         I am about to share some very important facts about communion. At the risk of being called a legalist, I want to sound the alarm. There is mixture in the body especially in the celebration of communion. If you are a Pastor of a church, this is for you. The round communion wafer which came from the Catholic church has its roots in Paganism. Now, hear my heart, I realize that there are many Catholic brethren who are, truly, born again and love Jesus. I, also, realize that tradition and error are in every church in some measure or another, but this theme is so serious that I needed to share what the Lord placed in my heart. 

                       Idolatry has crept into the body of Christ. Every Sunday, we celebrate the communion elements with a round wafer. This is wrong and I will share some main points with you about this. First, it is, clearly, written that when Jesus celebrated communion with his disciples, he broke the bread-


For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.  (I Cor 11:23-24)

                It is written that he broke the bread, the round wafer is not broken so that is the first point. Second, communion was celebrated with unleavened bread (2). A wafer is not bread. The round wafer dates back from Babylonian times in which they worshiped the sun God. Thru time and cultures, there was more added to the round wafer. Some cultures in the past believed that eating the round wafer(Called cakes in the Bible--Jer 7:17-19, Ezekiel 8: 15-17, Jer 44:16-19 ) gave them the God power of the Sun. Even now, some churches, believes that the round wafer and the cup turns, literally, in the blood and body of Christ.
                 
                 Folks, we need to get back to the Jewish roots. Communion should not be perverted with mixture. Some may say it makes no difference but think about this---this wafer which some churches celebrate communion with, has Babylonian roots!  Would the Lord accept this as the new covenant? I believe that not only would he reject it but it would open the door for Satanic attacks upon us and our families.

                Again, I know that this is, not, a popular subject but consider this--When eating food, there are some items that I, personally, don't care about but eat them anyway because they are good for you....i.e. carrots. This may be food that you may not care about but is good for you. It may,even, increase our blessing a hundredfold. Let's serve God and get mixture out of our life, today. God bless.
