A la majoria de les esglésies, the wine has been replaced by grape juice. The use of grape juice has become so common, aquell (jove) Christians don’t know any better than to use grape juice instead of wine. But what many Christians don’t know is the hidden meaning of wine. If you knew the symbolic meaning of wine, then you would know, why the wine has been replaced by grape juice in the church. Because today’s communion and the wine replaced by grape juice symbolize the state of the Body of Christ; l'Església. What is the what does the wine represent in communion? The wine represents the blood of Jesus, wherewith He has cleansed us from all our sins and iniquities. The New Covenant is in the blood, through which we have access to the Father. By drinking His blood, we not only become partakers of His inheritance, but we also become partakers of His passion and death, el que vol dir que hauríem de fer -ho die to our flesh.
Do followers of Jesus Christ die to the flesh?
Podríem dir, that the church is carnal and lives in sin and iniquity. The church uses the love and the grace of God, as an excuse to stay carnal and to keep sinning. Most believers are not willing to give up their old ‘self’.
It happens often, that when a believer notices that another believer lives in sin, the believer uses love and the grace of God, to make the sin of that person all right. Believers don’t confront and correct each other anymore.
Even the leaders of the church don’t confront and correct the members of the church anymore, but they allow everything. Most churches are more focused on prosperity and figures than being focused on the spiritual state of the church.
They don’t remove the sins from their lives and from the church anymore, but they tolerate and accept all sins and iniquities.
A causa d'aquest comportament, the church has become weak and powerless in comparison to the first church in the Book of Acts.
The wine replaced by grape juice in the church
En moltes esglésies, the cross and the blood of Jesus is not preached anymore. While the cross and the blood of Jesus is the most important thing, and should never be left out. Per la seva sang, we have been redeemed, and we have been reunited with God our Father. There is power in the blood of Jesus. Sense la sang de Jesús, there’s nothing. We live in a New Covenant, that is sealed with the blood of Jesus.
The Church has put water into the wine, literalment, and figuratively. Well, actually that’s not true. The Church hasn’t put water into the wine, but has replaced the wine with grape juice, which is worse.
Avui dia, the church makes its own rules, and makes adjustments in the commandments and the Word of the Lord. Where does it say, that we should take grape juice? Where does God say this or where does Jesus say this?
The fermentation process symbolizes death and life
Death, and life are in the wine; the old and the new creation. Through the fermentation process, the grape juice is turned into wine. This fermentation process makes wine so special, and it’s because of this fermentation, that wine distinguishes itself from grape juice.
The fermentation process symbolizes the death, i la resurrecció de Jesucrist (grape juice turned into wine).
During the fermentation process, the yeast cells convert the sugars, into alcohol, and when they have nothing left to feed on, they die in their dirt. Just like Jesus died in our dirt, and took all our sin and iniquity upon Himself, so that we could become Una nova creació.
When we drink of the wine, we participate in the passion and death of Jesus Christ. By becoming a partaker, we identify ourselves with Him; with His death and His resurrection.
Això vol dir, that just like Jesus, hem de fer -ho die and lay down our flesh, before we can become La nova creació.
The grape juice symbolizes L’antiga creació. But the wine symbolizes the old creation, who has become the new creation (sugars turned into alcohol). We die in our filthiness, which means that we die to our flesh, and we become the new creation; born in the spirit, through the Holy Spirit of God.
Dying to self isn’t preached anymore
In grape juice there is no fermentation process, that takes place. There’s no process of dying, and that’s exactly what happens in most Churches, and in the lives of many Christians. Believers stay L’antiga creació and live just like the world.
They don’t morir a la carn, but they keep walking after the flesh and use the love and grace to make it all right. Sí, they use ‘love’ and ‘grace’ to justify themselves, so that they won’t feel guilty (Llegiu també: ‘Es pot viure en pecat i salvar -te?‘).
But there’s no one, who can change the spiritual law. There’s no one, who can do anything about the commandments and the will of God, even if they are being changed by people.
Because God will always stay the same, ahir, avui, i per sempre més. That’s why He and His words are reliable and you can trust Him.
La seva voluntat, La seva llei, i els seus manaments, which the Word made known to the people, will always remain the same.
The written law doesn’t have any power. The Lord God gave them out of His Spirit (out of the spiritual world) and translated them into human language.
He ‘translated’ them out of the spiritual world, into the realm of the senses. The law was given for man’s benefit, not to punish people, and put restrictions upon them, but to warn them, and help them, to not become a prisoner of the devil (l'adversari de Déu). God only wants the best for you!
The lies of the devil uncovered
Many excuses and reasons are being given as to why the wine has been removed from many churches and congregations, and why it is better to drink grape juice. Here are some reasons:
“We have to consider ex-alcoholics who are sitting in Church, we may not lead them into temptation. By drinking wine, tindran la temptació de tornar a beure”
Un convertit, que abans era un alcohòlica s'ha convertit en una nova creació. La persona ha estat alliberada de l'addictiu esperit d'alcoholisme. La persona ha mort en Crist als desitjos i desitjos de la carn. L'esperit de la persona ha ressuscitat d'entre els morts pel poder de l'Esperit Sant camina i ara la persona camina com una nova creació, Després de l’Esperit. Quan aquesta persona beu de la copa, que s'omple de vi, no tornarà a fer addicte a la persona. Perquè l'esperit addictiu, qui era actiu en la carn ja no pot manifestar-se, perquè la carn ha mort en Crist. El poder de l'alcoholisme es va trencar, en el moment del lliurament de la persona iEs va tornar a néixer. Per tant, el poder de l'alcoholisme ja no té cap poder sobre la persona (Llegiu també: ‘Lliurament del poder de l’alcohol‘).
Com una nova creació, la persona regna sobre els poders i les forces de la foscor, instead that these powers and forces reign over the person.
When we replace wine with grape juice, due to this reason, then we make people the center of the church and the congregation, en lloc de Jesús.
We let the flesh reign above the Spirit, and we adjust the commandment of Jesus, to a human being. Which is a bad thing to do.
This also says a lot about the state of the church. Because people have become the center of attention.
The church is focused on people instead of Jesus. It looks a lot like nova era, where everything revolves around people and themselves.
“Sí, but when we changed the wine into grape juice, we experienced many (curació) miracles during communion”
The devil wants to remove the blood from the Church, so he also wants to remove the wine. It reminds him of his defeat. El diable també pot fer miracles i meravelles, mira els satanistes, ocultistes, bruixes, mags, etc.
Fins i tot a les esglésies, on el diable ha pres el seu lloc, fa molts signes i meravelles. Fins i tot entre els cristians, quan els creients donen el fruit de la carn, però fer miracles, has de ser molt prudent.
Jesús adverteix als seus seguidors que n'hi haurà molts falsos profetes, que farà grans senyals i meravelles. Semblarà que aquests profetes són enviats per Ell, però no ho són. Tot sembla tan real, que fins i tot els seguidors de Jesús podien ser enganyats(Estoreta 24:24)
“Sí, però antigament el vi era diferent del vi que tenim actualment; el vi no contenia tant alcohol, com passa ara"
Realment? Fem una ullada al Gènesi 9:21. Hem llegit sobre Noè, emborratxar-se de vi. Si el vi era realment diferent, i si de fet no contenia tant d'alcohol, com es va emborratxar Noè?
I no només Noè es va embriagar de vi. En Gènesi 19:33, es van llegir sobre Lot, i com les seves filles el van emborratxar, amb……. vi.
La beguda a l'Antic Pacte
Quan mirem la llei jueva, llegim a Èxode 29:40, Levític 23:14, Nombres 15:5-10, Nombres 28:7,14 que per a la libació feien servir vi i no suc de raïm.
La paraula hebrea per a vi és yah’-yin (núvia 3196 La concordança de Strong) i significa: vi (com fermentat); per implicació intoxicació: (banquet) (vi) vi (-babedor)
Podem dir i concloure que el vi té un significat molt especial a tota la Bíblia. Enlloc de la Bíblia el vi no es substitueix pel suc de raïm.
Com podem canviar un manament de Déu,
per a un ésser humà?
Deixa'ns penedir -se d'aquesta escriptura de rebel·lió contra Déu i torna el vi on li correspon: a l'Església; el Cos de Crist. Quan tenim comunió amb el Senyor Jesús, llavors tota l'església participa de la seva passió i mort, i la redempció que Jesús ens ha portat amb la seva sang. Quan bevem de la copa, som partícips de la seva mort, morint a la teva carn.
El vi té un gust amarg, i això és morir de carn. No és agradable i dolç, com el suc de raïm, però és amarg.
Fem de Jesús Cap de l'Església, en comptes de expulsant Jesús de l'església. Siguem obedients a Jesús i guardem els seus manaments. En lloc d'ajustar els seus manaments i la seva voluntat als desitjos i desitjos de la gent.
La teva plata s'ha convertit en escoria,
el teu vi barrejat amb aigua:
Els teus prínceps són rebels, i companys de lladres:
a tothom li agraden els regals, i segueix després de les recompenses:
no jutgen els orfes,
ni la causa de la vídua els arriba
(Isaïes 1:22-23)
'Sigues la sal de la terra'
