Pure Doctrine:
The Biblical New Year
The Significance
of the Lord’s Supper New Testament and
Passover Old Testament
Biblical date: 7th Zif, 2073
 This
weekend before addressing the continuation of
the article, we would like to note that the
wrong biblical date was posted in last weekend’s
paper. Last Sabbath was the 23rd and not the
24th of Abib. Today is the last Sabbath of the
month Abib. With this we continue into the details
of the article. After the washing of the feet
then follows the breaking , sharing and eating
of the body of Christ and finally the sharing
and drinking of the fruit of the vine, which
represents the blood of Christ. I Corinthians
11: 25-26 reads “After the same manner
also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying,
This cup is the new testament in my blood: this
do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance
of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and
drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s
death until he comes.” We have to observe
the Lord’s Supper every year as we have
been commanded to do. This emblem serves to
remind us of how Jesus suffered for our sakes.
It is evident in the scriptures that on Jesus’
command all the disciples drank the fruit of
the vine. We must be obedient to the word in
order to be guided appropriately. Matthew 6:24
reminds us that “No man can serve two
masters: for either he will hate the one, and
love the other; or else he will hold on to the
one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve
God and mammon.” Do not teach doctrine
which is contrary to the word. Mark 14: 23-25
reads “And he took the cup when he had
given thanks, he gave it to them and they all
drank of it. And he said unto them, This is
my body of the new testament which was shared
for many. Verily, I say unto you I will drink
no more of the fruit of the vine, until the
day that I drink it new in the Kingdom of God
.” Mark supports Corinthians and shows
that all the disciples drank of the fruit of
the vine on Jesus’ command. Any practice
contrary to this is not of God.

The
scriptures warn us to beware of contrary doctrines.
Hebrew 13: 9 “Be not carried about with
divers and strange doctrines: for it is a good
thing that the heart be established with grace;
not with meats which have not profited them
that have been occupied.” 1 Timothy 4:1-2
also admonishes us to beware of false doctrines.
It reads “Now the spirit speaketh expressly,
that in the latter times some shall depart from
the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits,
and doctrines of devils; speaking lies in hypocrisies;
having their conscience seared with a hot iron.”
The devil’s doctrine is all doctrine which
are contrary to the word of God. The scriptures
are our guide and they are examples for us to
follow. 2 Timothy 3:16 “All scripture
is given by the inspiration of God, and is profitable
for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for
instruction in righteousness.” None of
the scriptures should be overlooked or disregarded
particularly when establishing doctrine.
The Lord’s Supper entails three main aspects
which are all found and supported in the scriptures.
These are the washing of the feet, the breaking
of the bread and drinking the fruit of the vine.
At the Lord’s Supper these occur in the
order mentioned here on the 14th of Abib in
the evening. It is important to note that all
baptized members have a duty to partake of this
emblem in its appointed time. John 6:53 reads
“Then Jesus said unto them verily, verily
I say unto, except ye eat of the flesh of the
son of Man and drink his blood, ye have no life
in you.
