Death Sentence

Can a person really die by taking communion "unworthily?"

I Corinthians 11: 27-30

What? Okay - first glance, that's just craziness talking. But wait, she thinks outloud as she types - God get's to decide. So "What Would God Do?"? God would (she types tenatively now as she clearly doesn't know WHAT GOD would do, but for discussion continues) act in ways that would promote Himself and Jesus - so if a person died for taking communiun unworthly (and please pick out the worthy among us so I may learn) who would know - how would God get the glory? What have we learned? That's just crazy talk! Tricia

So we're talking "sleeping in the pews?" or "Christian coma?" or, like the disciples in the garden, they sleepeth?

I think it really means death. I wish God did it more. A miracle of judgment is still a miracle.

Anonymous - Whew! I hope you don't have someone specific in mind. If you do, and if you really believe Paul is talking physical death, I'd stay away from communion for awhile.

Would it be possible that Corinthians is talking about an unsaved person, which there can be in the church, when it talks about sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. Not only is falling asleep referred to, but also weak and sick. Just a thought
