Subject: What liquid was in the communion cup? |
Bible Note: Beja, Sorry, but I didn't respond to your post 232996. So, I don't know what made you say so. You wrote, "Wouldn't it be safe to say that your mind is quite resolved on this issue?" My answer is respectfully no because although I wanted to hear answers from the scripture brothers and sisters answered from church traditions, common sense, guesswork, or customs of the time. I personally don't drink, but I never pressed you or anyone else also should not drink. I just wanted to know what the Bible teaches. My original question was whether the early church used wine for the communion because to my surprise I didn't find a Bible verse supporting it. Regarding the communion, the Bible mentions "drink the cup of the Lord," but what was the substance in the cup was not explicitly indicated. If that was wine, was it fermented or unfermented? You may say the Bible is silent about it. Then, suddenly, Isaiah 25:6 says the Lord will make a feast of well-aged wine. So, I guess that verse (any similar) might be a big blow to discussion on wine or juice as we will drink alcoholic wine with the Lord. What do you think based on the Scripture? |
