[Faith-talk] Question out there

[Kevin LaRose]

Hi Ericka:
Great question! I'm no more qualified to answer than anyone else, but here are some thoughts. I do think there is a tendency to pick and choose which sin is worse than another, a hierarchy of sin, if you will. Of course, Paul did say there wasn't one of us without sin, so if the Church was going to deny all Communion to any and all sinners the wafer makers would go out of business double quick. It seems to me the best way to deal with this is to just concede that we're all sinners who fall short at some time or other and don't deny Communion to anyone. After all, wouldn't the worst sinner be in the most need of it? Hopefully all of that made sense.

Everyone chime in here. Just a reflection and I want to know what others think.  If you can't pick and choose the Scriptures you like to create doctrine, why do believers feel it's OK to pick and choose which sins to hate or withhold Eucharist/communion from? A rich guy who cheats on his taxes and his wife shouldn't be able to have communion anymore than someone who is gay/lesbian but do you send in law abiding otherwise. I mean, greed and gluttony are two also mentioned in the Bible but we still get fat people communion and everything. Isn't this being judge mental? I thought judgment was up to God, not us.
