You are right about the JWs that they do not participate in communion. It is only for the special 144,000 class and this class should be all dead by now. Calvinists would say that God loves everyone. They just define the kind of love as different. God loves the unelect by giving them rain, etc. But He only loves in a saving way the ones He has chosen from all eternity. In their reasoning He did not love everyone enough to send Jesus to die for all. I know Tom and I have a love for him as a friend. He is open enough to agree to view my DVD The Giving, when it is finished. I agree that there is a lack of love with many Calvinists, but not all. Tom has been very kind to me and open enough to listen. I am very happy to get that agreement! As far as who is harder to talk to, I would say it is JWs. JWs have no basis of agreement with us at all and they have not experienced a conversion so we talk from two different world views. I do think that it is a good idea to give your pastor the information on Judas and communion. I would recommend copying the info from my article here https://www.mmoutreach.org/tg/juda-2/ This one deals with the most information from communion to predestination. If he can understand that Judas was at communion and partook with the others, then you can ask why we won’t allow others to partake if they want. Thank you for your encouragement! God has given me a great amount of grace to have patience and low blood pressure! I give Him all the glory for the work He has done in me! 🙂
