Bread and Wine, or Concerning the Elements used in Communion


Sometimes when an argument becomes clouded by emotion, it is helpful to introduce an analogous or extreme example to help shed some light on things.

See this commercial:

Now, this commercial is obviously ridiculous, but what can we take away from it? Is any food or drink acceptable to be used in the Lord's Supper? Is it dangerous to use elements not prescribed by our Lord? Soda instead of wine, chips instead of bread?

How about grape juice instead of wine?


What do you think?
