what are we today to judge ourselves for in light of the context of 1 Cor 11?
Now the Lords body would be not only his physical body we are to remember he sacrificed, but also the spiritual body of which we are part of. so in light of that should we judge ourselves as to our attitude or lack of proper use of gifts that are meant to edify the body? How we treat other Christians whom are his body? As well as misusing the freedom we have because of the sacrifice of Christ's body for us? such as walking willfully in sinfulness?
What are we to examine and judge today in the context of these passages?
I ask because I would rather teach a truth than a tradition. which is what it seems we are by asking people to examine themselves before taking the Lord supper.
