Contradiction with John 6:53
This verse states that unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life, which contradicts the symbolic remembrance mentioned in 1 Corinthians 11:26.
John 6:53: 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.
Contradiction with Matthew 26:29
Here, Jesus says He will not drink of the fruit of the vine until He drinks it new in His Father's kingdom, which contrasts with the continual proclamation of the Lord’s death in 1 Corinthians 11:26.
Matthew 26:29: But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.
Contradiction with Hebrews 10:10
This verse emphasizes that Jesus' sacrifice was a one-time event for sanctification, contrasting with the repeated act of remembrance indicated in 1 Corinthians 11:26.
Hebrews 10:10: By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once [for all].
Contradiction with John 3:16
Focuses on belief in Jesus for eternal life, not mentioning the proclamation of His death, which is the focus of 1 Corinthians 11:26.
John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Paradox #1
1 Corinthians 11:26 could present a contradiction or inconsistency when considering the practice of communion, which in some perspectives, may seem like ritual repetition versus some teachings warning against repetitive, meaningless rituals. There's also a tension between the communal aspect of unity versus excluding people who don't partake due to differing beliefs or understanding.
