We don't drink wine in the home, bc my 9 year old has a real conviction against alcohol. It's her own personal conviction and I choose not to stumble her. I love to use wine in cooking and do so often. My DD knows the alcohol cooks out quickly. I do not indulge in my small town either as I am a Director of a Mission treating drug and alcohol abuse, yet I know I have the freedom to drink of the vine when I'm not going to stumble a weaker brother/sister.... emma Thanks Momma!

We'd all die of shock if the church stopped squabbling over stuff like this. (wink) BTW, I'm so jealous of your Alaska move. I'm a country gal who has been stuck in SoCal for 12 years. Makes perfect sense and I agree.

However, I know that this is a recent argument among the church. Before we knew how to make our water safe to drink, it was safer to drink beer and wine. This area is an area for personal conviction. It is clearly not okay to get drunk however as the Bible clearly says not to. If someone stuggles with it, then they shouldn't drink at all. I hope these thoughts are coherent. I am so sleep deprived right now. The church I go to has several recovering alcoholics so I have no problem with the grape juice we use.

I think it falls into the category of personal conviction (far fewer things fall into this category then the church would like but anyway). I have no problem with the idea that REAL wine was served in Biblical times. My parents always took the no alcohol stance as did their denomination. My sister is a recovering alcoholic/drug addict. My brother still drinks but had to get some help because he is a mean drunk (crushed his hand after hitting a wall). So family history of depression/bipolar + dysfunction + alcohol = bad idea. I find it easier to just not go there since it appears my family can't handle their liquor. I'm not sure I want to find out if I can or not. I don't think it's a sin, but I do think it can cause major problems in those who are susceptible. Because of this, I am more than okay with churches substituting grape juice for wine in communion. I think we err when we make The Lord's Supper more about the wine/juice then about our Saviour. Interesting article.
