For various reasons, I just went to a Protestant pseudo-“Ash Wednesday” service.

At communion I was passed white grape juice. I know a lot of denominations do grape juice instead of wine, but shouldn’t it at least be red?

They didn’t call it the body or the blood either, which I thought was odd.

Apparently Mormons will do whatever bread is available and water.

    Why was there an Andrew tate fan there 😭

    I don’t think there’s much credibility to “it was just grape juice”. People drank wine. It was okay. The wedding at cana narrative even had a reference to someone getting drunk.

    John 2:10

    “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you have kept the good wine until now.”

    It should be red, yeah, it’s supposed to be blood.

    The wafer dumping thing is called Intinction. I’ve done it before when receiving communion while having a cold.

    Do you also classify JW’s, SDA’s and Christian Scientists as non Christian too?

    Yeah, they aren’t Christian, except most SDAs. Most SDAs now affirm the Nicene Creed, the early ones weren’t Christian. Some radical SDAs exist who aren’t Christian.
