I posted this on Mike’s blog…not many people are posting over there 🙁

Mike, regarding 1 Corinthians 11:27, there is no universal law not to drink the Lord’s Supper in an unworthy manner. The reason that drinking the Lord’s Supper in an unworthy manner is a sin (in the context of 1 Cor) is because it was sinning against two universal laws, the law to love each other and the law to love God. It was also breaking other universal laws to do with greed and gluttony.
It is interesting that you use this example, because you have done with 1 Cor 11:27 exactly what yo have done with 1 Tim 2…makes a universal law where there is not one.

I guess I take the 1 Cor 11:27 thing as simply a specific example of a universal law.
