I'm Anglican but currently going to a non-Denominational church and that is one thing that really bugs me. "Juice" during communion. They've even changed the words to say juice.
Pick a denomination!!! Choose correctly though....we/re talking about your soul and where it’s going to be spending ETERNITY!!
Grape juice was invented by Dr. Welch, a presbyterian preacher’s son. Yes, I mean what I said: “invented.” Prior to Welch’s, there was no such thing as grape juice. Fermenting is a quickly occurring and spontaneous process. Welch discovered how to block it. Hence, the ancient Jews could not possibly have meant “grape juice,” since it was a product they were completely unfamiliar with.
The bible also notes (loosely) that “no-one” drinks straight water. Adding wine to it disinfected it, making it reasonably safe to drink. One who grew up drinking straight water was one who grew up in an unusually pure environment, with their own private source. Safe water was a mark of royalty!
“Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure; Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thine often infirmities.” — 1 Timothy 5:22-23
