Why Women Should Not Receive Communion

Principles, like ideas, have consequences - and one popular argument against one sacrament has rather troubling results for another. Here I apply an principled argument against women receiving Holy Communion based on one made against infant Baptism and show that as one goes, so does the other.

N.B., I see from the comments and correspondence that this video generated some rather ironic confusion. To clarify: the video's purpose was to expose the inconsistency of the so-called "Bible-only" theology of fundamentalists by showing how they only really follow it when it supports their presupposed beliefs and that the method results in false conclusions if used consistently. In this case, applying the method to communion would result in women not being allowed to receive when women very clearly are allowed to receive. This is true today and historically (e.g., women were forbidden to participate during menstruation - a useless rule if they were never to take communion in the first place, and there were even special women deaconesses whose role was to serve women communion.) I hope that helps!
