Bible Note: Dear Tim, Greetings in Jesus' name! I truly respect your desire to please God. However, in your zeal to 're-create' the scene of the Last Supper, could it not become legalism? I must admit that I am appalled at the thought of using Oreos and Coke! :-) But I think that I would even prefer that to the notion that we are more pleasing to God for our efforts to be absolutely precise. My reasoning is that it is impossible to be absolutely precise! No matter how much you study what the Jews *usually* did, you could never know exactly what Jesus used. This is the pursuit of the Holy Grail, and futile, In my humble opinion. In my own fellowship, we pursue a 'reasonably similar' environment using 'reasonably similar' elements. While I know that this is open to a lot of variation (sometimes too much!), it IS to be done in remembrance of Christ, not reproduction of the scene. Blessings and peace in Christ Jesus, charis |
