It can be found on YouTube in the first page of "da carson" results. <br /><br />I specifically liked the way that he directed his hearers to the commandment to "Do this in remembrance of me," which often plays second fiddle to "This is my body," in discussions like this.

So if your experience was a divine warning or disciplinary, that isn't correlated with belief or disbelief in the real presence.stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16547070544928321788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-28184110877239194012017-06-27T00:18:36.353-04:002017-06-27T00:18:36.353-04:00Ecc 8:11 Because sentence against an evil work is...Ecc 8:11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.<br /><br />It is not inevitable that sin will receive immediate punishment.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04929743757718431466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-19618195149609108552017-06-26T17:04:11.140-04:002017-06-26T17:04:11.140-04:00Without going into the details, when I was making ...Without going into the details, when I was making my way back to Christianity I took communion in a very unworthy/arrogant manner. I had embraced a view that says the supper is symbolic and nothing more and anything more is just superstition. 24 hours later I was in urgent care. Either it was one heck of coincidence, or something more was happening. I didn't dare approach the table out of fear for another year and when I did it was with true repentance.

His reason for fencing the table is to protect his communion not the communicant. He is excluding people who don't share the, in his tradition, orthodox belief.
