drink alcohol in moderation. Is there more than one? I have a hard time believing that Jesus turning water to wine actually met turning water to alcohol. Fresh wine basically means unfermeted, and that means no alcohol (strong drink) If the term grape juice was around in Bible times I am sure the Bible would read grape juice, not wine. So I need to have the scripture that actually says we are allowed to use alcohol in moderation! Also if such a verse is in the Bible could that standred be applied to say Pot smoking? or what about crack?
WOW the answers you have received crack me up.. some are very good.. some are well comical.. the truth is GOD expects us to use common sense..alcohol is not a benefit to us, while in Biblical times grape juice was just the trick.. alcohol is a diuretic and causes us to lose body fluids.. grape juice would balance the blood sugars very fast…a situation commonly in need in Biblical times and even into the 20th century..
The way I view alcohol is the way I view tobacco, cigarettes cigars and snuf and chew.. they were all introduced by evil influences to create a mental separation between GOD and man..so that we would not know GOD's truth, become complacent and lazy and listen to a man's wisdom rather than to read GOD'S WORD..and to come to know GOD as it is our privlege to know HIM.. then all these things would not mean a thing. just the beauty of HOLINESS THAT GOD ALONE HAS..then this debate would be of no use or our time..we would be telling others about JESUS….this is not meant to be a negative on you.. just that the world has us distracted on the wrong issues.. it is the Plan..

I love reading fantasy/fiction, so which would you recommend I read? Nothing like the most unbelievable to get my juices flowing.
Well if you want facts then you need to read the Bible…if you want fiction then you need to read the Koran.

Isn't that the correct way to give communion? I would enjoy a little glass of wine with the service. All throughout the Bible it talks about wine and Jesus was always drinking wine with his disciples and friends. So why won't our pastor serve wine? Is he afraid that he'll turn us into a bunch of raging alcoholics? Doesn't he trust us? Or maybe he doesn't trust himself with wine in the church? What do you think the problem is?
why don't you bring your own hip flask

This is a serious question…please refrain from giving me your lame advice on what I am doing wrong with my life and "the best way to pass is to not do drugs". Save it…this question is for others like me…not kooks from the bible belt. You make your choices in life, I make mine.
I DONT CARE WHAT YOU SAY I AM GOING TO TELL YOU DONT DO DRUGS!

I work in retail, and I have a frequent customer who says that he gives free Bible classes in a room he rents at a local library. However, I've heard him make derogatory remarks about gays. (He calls them queers.) Also, he claims to be against interracial dating, but he is a white man who often flirts with my black co-workers. And not only that, but he'll sometimes wear his sunglasses (even at night), because he thinks that women then won't be able to tell that he's ogling them, but it's so obvious. (Isn't lust one of the seven deadly sins?) He's a judgmental, hypocritical old pervert who claims to be a Christian. Didn't Christ say, "He who has not sinned shall cast the first stone"?
Sounds like a freak. But I suspect that he would be a freak whether we was Christian, Jewish, Atheist or Druid.
But stay away from him.

I feel that the Bible says to use wine as well as that's what Jesus says. Is it wrong to use grapejuice?
I never heard that. Go to another place. Are you sure that is a church ?

I'm helping with a church's vacation bible school and need to estimate how much of each item I need before purchasing. Some snacks are easy - just look at the serving size and multiply by number of children. Juice I'm not sure of - is 4 oz of juice per child enough? Children are age 4 through 5th grade. Also, I'd like to make a trail mix - some cheerios, raisins, pretzels, etc. How do I figure this out? Any help you can give is appreciated. Thanks so much!!
My son has multiple food allergies so I am very aware of those needs.
8 oz. is a better estimate - you're right!
Also, I'm talking about snacks for approx. 200 kids - that's why it's important to figure this out before I go shopping!
8oz sounds about right
just make you have extra
and for the trail mix 1 cup is good
but be careful for allergies

an ongoing debate in the lutheran church (elca), especially in the seminaries is what to include in the holy eucharist. my seminary also had baptist and anglican students. the anglicans believed that the eucharist had to be both the bread and the wine and nothing else. doing this, though, excludes the baptist who use grape juice.
an argument against juice is that the grape juice movement was started by the founder of the welch's juice company. some of the arguments for were the need of alcoholics to be able to participate in communion. the bible says "drink of the fruit of the vine" which meant wine but doesn't exclude juice.
i was taught that the bread was sufficient and the taking of both unnecessary for lutherans anyway.
this is far more lengthy than i anticipated… i just want to know how other denominations feel about communion.
yes we all know that grape juice is unfermented wine and that there was no refrigeration existed in olden days… but what are your opinions on what should be used in communion?
in a recent conversation with methodists about sharing communion: In particular, United Methodists who do not wish to receive alcoholic wine can be confident that they are fully participating in the Eucharist if they receive only the bread.

I don't believe the method of remembrance is as important as the manner of remembrance. Being Baptist myself, we use unleavened bread and grape juice, but I have no problem with other churches using a loaf of bread and wine, pita bread and red wine, or even sago and mango juice. Why are we taking communion? It's a remembrance of the life, suffering, death and resurrection of our Lord because He told us to do so. If we do it for the right reasons, there is really no "right way." I'd label that a debatable where we have liberty.

Where I lived, we used to make wine. It takes about 1-2 weeks for the yeast to consume the sugar in the juice and convert it to alcohol. So grape juice is completely fermented within a week or 2. Straight grape juice usually has enough sugar in it to make between 10 and 14 percent alcohol wine.
So, if the last supper was in the spring time, how would they be able to keep grape juice without fermenting? The only time they would have ever drank grape juice, is at the time of pressing, period.
We all know (I hope) that Israel is a hot place. There would be no way to preserve grape juice without fermenting. And wine was actually safer to drink than water in many places as the alcohol killed germs.

"There is nothing wrong with drinking wine in his day."
Well I say there's nothing wrong with drinking wine today.
"The wine they drank wasnt intentionally fermented, now-a-days it is"
oh, it wasn't? yeah, keep telling yourself. And then read this:
the head waiter in John 2:10 said, “Every man sets out the good wine first, then after the guests have drunk freely, the poor wine. But you have kept the good wine until now.” The verb translated "drunk freely" is used of getting drunk. So the people at this wedding feast, if not drunk, would certainly be drinking alcohol fairly freely. And this makes perfect sense in the context: The reason why a man brings out the poorer wine later is because the good wine has numbed the senses a bit. Grape juice would hardly mask anything. also Acts 2:13 ”they are full of sweet wine” - a comment made about the apostles when they began speaking in tongues, as though this explained their unusual behavior.
The point is - if they were full of grape juice would this comment even have made any sense at all? That would be like saying, “Well, they’re all acting strange and silly because they have had too much orange juice this morning!”
So DON'T tell me that I take things out of context.
k?
it was wine.
jesus and the apostles were often accused of being drunk….to my knowledge you don't get drunk from grape juice.
in his first miracle jesus turned water to wine, why were the people not able to tell the difference between the cheap and expensive wine?
at passover it was customary for the jews to drink 4 cups of wine.
the other reasons you presented further prove it but i bet they will come up with something……:-)
