Hey Jim, saw you talking about the bread and wine (grapejuice) on the "old" thread...last week was the first time I've ever did the bread and wine thing...it was pretty awesome to think that I was performing a ceremony that's been handed down for thousands of years and to think of the link back to Christ. Truly moving. Did you feel that way for you first one?

No, sorry to say, I was more consumed with the mechanics of it, and Ginny was so nervous she spilled her wine (Juice).

She had told me, that when she was a child, they thought that if you chewed the host wafer, blood would run out of the corners of your mouth. hehehe

Did you use real wine in your service as they used to?

Here's a thought. The old argument is that the eucharist in Catholic mass actually becomes the body and blood of Jesus Christ. Protestant churches claim that they are not transformed, but are merely symbols representing his body and blood. Now that DNA testing is available, has anyone thought of testing the eucharist for the DNA of Jesus, and if no human DNA is found, wouldn't (or shouldn't) that resolve the conflict? Any takers out there willing to look at the truth?
