Re: The Lord’s Supper or the Eucharist?
There is no evidence the Lord's supper had more than bread and wine. A full meal would have meat and potatoes!
Is this another pun on Catholic tradition? While there are many wrong things about Catholic tradition, the Bible does not give clear instruction on how Communion or the Eucharist or the Lord's supper (for Church of Christ) was done.
There is evidence, as Aquila has posted, that there was enough bread for a large group (wafers work) and enough wine/fruit of the vine to make someone drunk if need be.
Notice Paul said, don't you have houses to eat food in? The Lord's supper was NOT meant to be a full fledged supper. Paul said in verse 34 IF anyone is hungry, let him eat at home.
You wouldn't eat a full fledged meal unless you were hungry...
Personally I think the manner in which most churches do it is closer to the Bible than the full meal.
