After **[The Lord’s Supper – Part 1][3]**, I spent some time wandering the internet in search of how folks have come to their opinions on whether wine should be used in the Lord’s Supper. I found a number of things which I’d like to follow up on and add to what I’ve started here.
###”It really wasn’t wine.”
One resource I found was the web site of a Baptist church. I have chosen not to link to their web site because I do not wish to single out any one fellowship. They are not unique in their view, and I intend to address what they argue in a very generic sense.
The foundation for their stance was that “To [assert Jesus turned water into wine] makes the Lord Jesus to put an intoxicating drink to the lips of his neighbors in clear violation of scripture,” and so it must have been juice used at the Lord’s Supper, too. They even go so far as to have a header called “The Absolute Prohibition of Proverbs 23:29-31” which reads:
I’ve just been overwhelmed with the Mambo projects I took on. I wish I could have taken them on in a year, by which time Mambo should be producing non-hideous code. It’s just a bear for a “modern code” guy like me to code through. I spend so much time understanding their content-plus-presentation/nested-table code, I’ve got no brain cells left for design. Ugh.
Here’s a funny little thing I can give you for visiting (since I’m otherwise so uninteresting right now): I needed to do some admin work for a dsl connection via Qwest. I couldn’t find what I was looking for, and since I saw this cheerful little button…
…I thought I’d click it and ask for help.
But alas, I got a page with this…
Look at him. Laughing at me. “I know you wanted help, and I laugh at you for visiting here only to have your hopes dashed! HAAAhahahaha….”
Get this, and get it straight: Crime is a sucker’s road and those who travel it wind up in the gutter, the prison, or the grave. There’s no other end… but they never learn.
