Today we pray for Adventism, which condemns the Lord’s Supper as pagan and idolatrous, not able to recognise the Body of Christ in the Eucharist, not willing to recognise the biblical pattern of each action and phrase used, out of fear and suspicion.\u00a0 We pray that they come to see what Christians since the first century have seen, and believe what has been believed by Christians for nearly 2000 years.<\/p>\n

\n

The Scriptural ordinance of the Lord’s Supper had been supplanted by the idolatrous sacrifice of the mass. Papal priests pretended, by their senseless mummery, to convert the simple bread and wine into the actual “body and blood of Christ.”<\/span>
\n– Ellen White, The Great Controversy, p59<\/p>\n

Unsound doctrines, superstitious rites, and idolatrous ceremonies were incorporated into her faith and worship.<\/span>
\n– Ellen White, The Spirit of Prophecy Vol 4, p43<\/p>\n

I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.\u00a0 [52]\u00a0 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?\u00a0 [53]\u00a0 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.\u00a0 [54]\u00a0 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.\u00a0 [55]\u00a0 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.\u00a0 [56]\u00a0 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.\u00a0 [57]\u00a0 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.<\/span>
\n– John 6:51-57 [KJV]<\/p>\n

From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.<\/span>
\n– John 6:66<\/span> [KJV]<\/p>\n

Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.\u00a0 [28]\u00a0 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.\u00a0 [29]\u00a0 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.<\/span>
\n– 1 Corinthians 11:27-29 [KJV]<\/p>\n

And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.<\/span>
\n– Matthew 16:18 [KJV]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nhallowed be thy name;<\/span>
\nthy kingdom come;<\/span>
\nthy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.<\/span>
