How do you think the Protestant idea of liturgy corresponds to Biblical accounts of liturgical celebrations?
Nash: It’s kind of like comparing a model airplane to an actual airplane. It’s not the real thing. Again, there are variations in Protestant belief, with some having an imperfect view of the Real Presence (Lutherans) and some espousing the Real Presence basically the same way as Catholics (traditional Episcopalians). However, even with Episcopalians there is not a valid Eucharist because they do not have validly ordained priest. In general, with Protestant liturgy you can have Christians who are sincerely gathered together to worship the Lord, but you don’t have the re-presentation and partaking of our Lord’s one Sacrifice. As I note in my book, the common Protestant view of the Lord’s Supper sees only the consumption of mere bread and wine and sees the same done by our Lord and His apostles at the Last Supper. Consequently, the prominent view of the Protestant Lord’s Supper has no impact on our salvation and thereby becomes an anticlimactic fulfillment of the Jewish Passover communion
