Subject: Don't understand Jesus's view on alcohol |
Bible Note: Greetings Emmaus! Good morning my friend! I actually am aware of what the Jews did and continue to use in their passover celebrations. My point was simply this, Scripture does not explicitly say what the communion cup contained. Those who hold to an abstainence postion are always accused of going beyond what Scripture actually says, yet nowhere does Scripture use the word 'wine' in reference to communion! :-) Yet, even in one was to concede that the communion cup was alcohol, there is a great difference between naturally fermented wine and Jack Daniel's for social reasons! ;-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
