The Holy Land Experience

I just saw a commercial for "The Holy Land Experience" in Orlando, FL. It's a theme park about Bible times sponsored by TBN. On the commercial they have a new feature - you can receive the Lord's Supper from an actor portraying Jesus. I have major problems with this. It entirely cheapens and devalues the meaning of the Lord's Supper. It's the same principle if you were to go get "baptized" in the Jordan River in actual Israel. You can do that. These are sacred ordinances set up by Jesus for the church. These people make a mockery of acts of worship that are to be holy and set apart. There are severe consequences set forth in the Word for people who don't take them seriously. This is totally ridiculous. If you or any of your friends or family decide to go support this place, really, think again and examine what's the real meaning behind the sacred things they commercialize. Men and women have given their lives simply for the chance to take communion or be baptized. This is a disgrace.
