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.

I'm weary of getting snide remarks over this bibical non-issue from people who appear to feel superior about their bibical knowledge but are actually making assumptions with no basis in bibical fact.

Yes, your belief on this is as good as mine but your comment to me about the Last Supper infers that I was flat wrong when you don't know that I was. I could just as well be right and you are wrong about this. A simple questioning without the smug assumptions attached would have been better received.

Protestant churches have also served plain, unfermented grape juice for a very long time; it 'proves' nothing except that reasonable people can disagree on matters that have little effect on anyone's salvation or worship and where the truth may only be guessed at.

I suggest we simply leave at that.
