Quire clearly, Paul warns us about eating social meals in the context of the local church. Do we not have homes in which to eat and drink socially? 1 Corinthians 11:20-22 teaches these lessons. We do have the command to be hospitable with each other (Romans 12:13), but we have homes in which to do this. The work of the church is spreading the Gospel, and church sponsored social activities do not accomplish this.
