Bible Question (short): What liquid was in the communion cup? |
Question (full): I wonder what the early church drank in the communion. I always thought they drank wine, but when I read the Bible, surprisingly, I couldn't see any one verse supporting it. In fact, there was no mention on what liquid was in the cup. So, my question is what they drank in the cup: red wine (alcohol), grape juice (like today in most churches), water, or what? By the way, I couldn't find a verse that Jesus our Lord actually did drink wine. |
