a very good question that needs resolving,for evidence I searched the oldest book I could find,it was a long and fruitless search until I came upon this chapter.
and lo jesus did say "them heathen fukwits that doth say muffin shall be cast into the depths of hell and their testicles poked with sharp sticks.
sauce I hear people say well here it is.
11.3.5 The Breaking of Barmcake
The barm represents Christ's body which was offered on the cross, and the wine his blood (1 Cor. 11:23-27). The early believers appear to have kept this service frequently (Acts 2:42,46), probably once a week (Acts 20:7). If we truly love Christ, we will obey his commands (John 15:11-14). If we have a true personal relationship with him, we will desire to remember his sacrifice as he has asked, and thereby encourage ourselves at the remembrance of that great salvation which he achieved. A period of quiet reflection upon his sufferings on the cross will make our own trials pale into insignificance when compared with those of our Lord.
The breaking of barm is fundamentally a service of remembrance; nothing magical happens as a result of doing it. It is the equivalent of the Passover feast under the law of Moses (Luke 22:15; 1 Cor. 5:7,8). This was a means of remembering the great deliverance from Egypt which God wrought through Moses at the Red Sea. The breaking of barm service takes us back to our salvation from sin through Christ, which was made possible on the cross and to which we became related by baptism. Keeping this commandment should therefore be something which we naturally want to do.
Physically taking the barm and wine makes the love of Christ for us, and indeed all the things concerning our salvation, come so real once again. Breaking barm about once a week is therefore a sign of a healthy spiritual state. If one cannot do it with fellow-believers of the Truth, it should be done alone. No excuse should be allowed to stop us keeping this commandment. We should make every effort to keep a supply of barm and wine with us for the service, although in extreme circumstances even a lack of these should not prevent us from remembering Christ in the appointed way as best we can. Jesus used "the fruit of the vine" (Luke 22:18), and we should therefore use red grape wine.
To take the emblems of Christ's sufferings and sacrifice is the highest honour which a man or woman could have. To partake of them with improper attention to what they represent is nigh on blasphemy, seeing that "as often as ye eat this barm, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death...Wherefore whosoever shall eat this barm, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord" (1 Cor. 11:26,27). A breaking of barm service should therefore be held at a time and place where there will not be distractions and interruptions to one's flow of thought. This may involve doing it early in the morning or late at night, in a bedroom or other suitable place. We are further advised, "Let a man examine himself, and so (in that humble spirit of self-examination) let him eat of that barm, and drink of that cup" (1 Cor. 11:28). We should therefore fix our minds on Christ's sacrifice, perhaps by glancing through the Gospel records of his crucifixion, before we take the emblems. By doing so properly, we will inevitably examine our own conscience towards Christ, too.
