Worship and Take Lord Supper Alone?

Can a Christian worship alone and take the Lord's supper alone?

No , if there is a church where he can attend to worship. Yes, if there is no church where he can attend. Can brethren take the Lord's supper to a sick sister and let her have it on her bed? No. There are no biblical example to do it. No scriptures that we can read to support this. Sick person and can't attend is excusable to God. (by D.T.Q.)

------
It is always Biblical as we have opportunity to do good unto all men. But it is not required to take the Lord's supper to those who cannot assemble.  

This has become a tradition with some churches of Christ and traditions become very strong in the hearts of some people. They are used to them and begin to believe that they are required or we have a hard unloving heart if we do not follow these traditions . 

In the congregation where I preach a brother (not a faithful brother) became upset with the church when we did not bring the Lord's supper to his wife (faithful) who was sick at home. Several of us went to their house, took the Lord's supper and did a complete but abbreviated worship with them.  

I asked the brother if he knew of Bible passage that referred to taking the Lord's supper to those that are sick. He did not know of one. I told him that a sick person is not required to assemble and that I see no sin when a person is sick and does not worship. He understood and there was no further problem. (by T.A.)

目前我们所面对的问题是，“主吩咐的聚会掰饼是要每一位信徒去教会聚集的地方敬拜。那些无法去聚会的，神会勉强他们去敬拜吗？线上敬拜是不是神所准许的敬拜方式 ？经文怎么说？”

“Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭11‬:‭33‬ ‭KJV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/1/1co.11.33.KJV

我们只须要教导圣经中有吩咐的，没有吩咐的我们自作主张去行，不但会引起一系列的问题，最终我们要如何向神交代。(by K.T.C.)

Should I Forgive A Brother Who Won't Repent? (Don Blackwell)

Subject: "Should I Forgive A Brother Who Won't Repent?" Speaker: Don Blackwell Scripture: Luke 17:1-3 Website: https://www.willowcofc.net/ Willow Avenue Church of Christ Video: https://www.youtube.com/live/G0CwQfl3YMo?si=Y5PyqjXAxuOiTVX8 Then Peter came to Jesus, and he said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him.  Up to seven times? Jesus said to him, I do not say to you up to seven times, but up to 70 times seven.  (Mt 18:21-22). Brethren, I want to suggest to you this morning that questions about forgiving a brother who has sinned against you is not a new thing. They existed even when the Lord was on this earth. And they are troubling enough that one of the apostles felt the need to come and ask Jesus directly about it. How frequently should I forgive my brother? I mean, my patience runs out sometimes. I mean, sometimes enough is enough. Where do I draw the line? Peter said, is seven times enough? You know, I've got the idea that Peter...

Together: Forgive One Another

From:  Brent Kercheville - West Palm Beach church of Christ False Understanding of Forgiveness In our culture, forgiveness is a unilateral internal effort to get my own emotions under control. It is a therapeutic view of forgiveness. Forgiveness is about me. We see this in the way the word “forgiveness” is used. For example, we will hear people say that you need to forgive yourself. This does not make sense using the word biblically. The scriptures never say to forgive yourself. But what people mean about forgiving yourself is this unilateral internal effort to get your own emotions under control and move yourself to some sort of happy place. This is not a biblical view but you can see why there is confusion when we discuss forgiveness from a biblical basis.  Another example of this misunderstanding of forgiveness is that you will hear people say that they have forgiven God or cannot forgive God. This is also nonsensical and ultimately blasphemous since God cannot do wrong and...
