The Last Supper says Hi.

The Bible says: 'Try reading me sometime before you use me as a reference. Thanks'.

Nowhere in the gospel accounts of the Last Supper of Christ does it state that He drank wine. Scripture concerning the account of the Last Supper refers to the 'fruit of the vine' and drinking from 'the cup'. It's an assumption that Jesus was drinking fermented grapes (wine). He may well have been doing just that - but it's not known as a fact, it's only assumed.

You don't know - I don't know, so while you are free to assume Christ drank wine like a frenchman and others can make stupid jokes, no one can prove that He was drinking wine. Your smug assumptions are misplaced.

Wow, you're awfully arrogant in condemning me for being "wrong" when you yourself said there's no right answer and that you don't know what he drank, yourself. What makes your belief more right than mine?

BTW, the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church have been serving wine as part of the Communion since just after the time of Christ. There's a reason for that.
