Why do some Christians avoid the Lord's Supper?

Answered in 1 source

Some Christians avoid the Lord's Supper due to feelings of unworthiness or a misunderstanding of its purpose and significance.

Many Christians abstain from the Lord's Supper, often due to a sense of unworthiness or misconceptions regarding the sacrament's nature. The belief that one must be completely free from sin or fully mature in faith before approaching the table can lead to prolonged neglect. However, the ordinance is meant for believers, recognizing that all are unworthy apart from Christ's sacrifice. Engaging with the Lord's Supper is encouraged as a means to grow in faith and remembrance of Christ's death, rather than a ritual for the perfect or sinless.
