Leaven was always symbolic of evil and therefore could not have been used to ferment the "fruit of the vine" in the ordinance of the Communion.

Amazing how it took the Christian church nearly 2000 years to figure this out. You do realize that before the start of the Temperance movement in the USA, Protestent churches (and of course Catholic and Orthodox) used wine for Communion, right? It was Welch's pasteurization of grape juice in 1869 combined with the secular Temperance movement that prompted the change, not some remarkable new exegesis of the New Testament.

I didn’t write those words. Maybe you should take it up with the Author.
