[問題] 不敢吃聖餐

教會聖餐大多數人用餅沾杯中酒. 這種方式叫intinction. 但是少數人保持老傳統用口直接對杯喝. 我覺得非常不衛生,紅酒低濃度酒精無法消毒. 所以我領受聖餐之後就把沾到酒的那部分的餅剝掉. 所以現在累積了不少剩下部分恭敬地放在家裏. 不知道如何處理. 這種方式是數百年教會老傳統,我沒必要挑這事問牧師. 也不會問其他人免得影響別人對聖餐的信心. 所以請弟兄姐妹賜教. 我們教派絕對是名門正派,牧師都是知名神學院畢業. 我查了宗派書籍對公用杯子的看法,説辭無法讓我信服: ----------- WHY YOU WON'T GET SICK HARING A COMMUNION CUP 爲甚麽公用聖杯不會得病 In this age of readily available hand sanitizer, it may appear a bit unseemly for a whole church full of people to drink out of the same chalice. Won't I catch a cold or pass on the flu? Actually, sharing a common cup isn’t as hazardous as one might suspect. And the hand sanitizer is a clue as to why: hands are a preferred path for spreading germs. 這個時代還一堆人公共一個杯子還不會得病不是很奇怪嗎? 其實共用杯子並不危險. Most xxxxxx churches use real wine—and then some; most use fortified wine such as port or sherry. This has a higher alcohol content, killing off many germs. 我們大部分教會用的是真酒,酒精能消毒 Not long ago a Canadian doctor named David Gould did research into illnesses passed through a common cup and found churchgoers more likely to get sick from airborne infections than from a shared chalice. “If communion cups were a danger, there would be cases of mass infections,”he wrote; and there aren ’t. Moreover, the ministers, who regularly consume anything remaining in the chalice, generally have very good health and longevity. 不久之前一個加拿大醫生做了研究認爲空氣比共用杯子更容易得病. 所以公用杯子并沒造成大規模傳染事件.而且本宗派的神職都會喝掉剩下的酒, 他們都很健康長壽. --
