Bible Note: Dear Tim, Greetings in Jesus' name! How are things in Sud Afrika? As we are saved by grace through faith, I would not expect condemnation for substituting the unfermented fruit of the vine for the fermented kind that we suppose Jesus used. This remembrance of the Lord's last meal was one of faith, not the elements themselves. If we focus on the elements themselves we can come dangerously close to attaching salvific import to them. Tim, I don't know either. I have partaken of the Lord's Supper for 20 years by faith, and I do go further than many in my attempts to mimic the enviroment, but never thought to go to the lengths you do. I do see your point, but as yet cannot agree with it. Blessings in Christ Jesus, charis |
