Why would this be? I'm curious to your belief here? I can attest I suffered no ill effects from my years of communion in any of the various faiths that I partaken of it in. (Lutheran, Methodist, Catholic, Baptist, Livist)
1 Corinthians 11:27–32
27 Wherefore twhosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, uunworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.
30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
32 But when we are judged, ewe are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
The ill-effects of unworthly taking part in communion are not always immediate so how do you know certain parts of your life were not the result of this?
