Hey, brother. I wouldn't join a church that uses juice. I couldn't take it in good conscience, and I can't imagine a church that would allow people to join who can't participate.For those of you who argue that wine exclusively should be used in the Lord’s Supper, if you were a member of a church that uses grape juice would it be okay to participate in the sacrament? Or would abstaining be the only appropriate option?
Is this a biblical way to speak of and view sin or is this the world's way, i.e. "Alcoholics Anonymous"?there are a lot of people that go to church for years and they are recovering Alcoholics you just can't force Wine on them it would be ok.
I’m a member of the RPCNA and my church uses grape juice. I’ve always been convinced of wine being used exclusively, but it’s only been until recently that I’ve been wrestling with whether or not to partake. Leaving the church wouldn’t be a wise option for me and my family since the RP is the most conservative and biblical that’s relatively close (we’re about an hour away from our RP church.)Hey, brother. I wouldn't join a church that uses juice. I couldn't take it in good conscience, and I can't imagine a church that would allow people to join who can't participate.
But you ask what I would do if I were a member--I'd find a different church. If necessary, I'd move.
Others may have a different opinion, but that's where my conscience is. The Scriptures enjoin me to drink wine at the Supper--I'm not going to drink something else instead.
Should we withhold the bread from recovering gluttons?there are a lot of people that go to church for years and they are recovering Alcoholics you just can't force Wine on them
