Matthew 26:25-29 26 Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” 27 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you, 28 for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. 29 I tell you I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.”

1 Corinthians 11:23-28 23 For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”

25 In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.

27 Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord. 28 Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

Both the bread and the cup are necessary parts of the communion service as commanded by Christ.

The Catholic church did not serve the cup to the laity as part of the communion service for a long time and there is recently a intent to return to that.

Sacramental wine

A simple google search of the topic *no wine at communion* will bring it up.

Jesus did not combine the two. Both are part of the communion service as practiced and commanded by Jesus.

To not follow the clear commands of Jesus is disobedience to Him.

"A simple google search of the topic...

Your feeble attempts to paper and prevaricate over your error isn't working. Those who know the truth can see right through it. You have absolutely no chance of changing my mind or damaging the Church so I can only presume you are posturing for the gallery of on lookers. They too will make up their own minds. You can rage on, but the determinate factor is not who posts last in this subject, it is who posted the truth and in that regard you have already lost this fight.

Peace be with you.

Odd that Rome, who wants to take John 6:55 literally, departs from other literal commands.
