Conference Recap And Forthcoming Lectures
- Justin Center recounts speaking and organizing at the Pirate Christian Radio Conference in Clinton, Iowa with Chris Rosebrough and others.
- He notes recorded talks (baptism, preaching, Lord's Supper, absolution) will be released later.
Paul Affirms Real Participation
- 1 Corinthians 10:16–17 teaches believers partake in Christ’s actual body and blood via the cup and bread.
- Justin Center argues this rules out a purely memorial (Zwinglian) view and demands real participation.
Calvin's Mediated Presence Critiqued
- Calvin's mediated-presence solution uses the Spirit to let believers 'ascend' to Christ by faith rather than Christ descending into the elements.
- Justin Center calls that approach convoluted and unbiblical compared with Lutheran sacramental realism.
