Communion (Part 2)
Individual TopicsSteve Gregg
In "Communion (Part 2)", Steve Gregg explores the Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation, which claims that the bread and wine consumed during communion become the actual body and blood of Christ. Gregg argues that this idea is not supported by scripture and can restrict one's relationship with God if it leads to superstitious beliefs. He also discusses the original purpose and meaning of the communion meal, which was intended as a family expression of love and fellowship among believers.
