What is apostolic succession, and is it required to be a true church? That's just one of the

questions we'll be answering on today's edition of Core Christianity. Hi, it's Bill Meyer,

along with Pastor Adriel Sanchez, and this is the radio program where we answer your questions

about the Bible and the Christian life every day. Our phone lines are open right now, and you can

call us with your question at 833-the-core. That's 1-833-843-243-2673. You can also watch

Adriel Live on YouTube. Back, you can do that every weekday at 11.30 a.m. Pacific time, and you can send him a

question through our YouTube channel, and you can always feel free to email us at Questions

at CoreChristianity.com. Well, yesterday, we had a caller who said his church was switching

from grape juice to wine for communion, but he had had a caller who said his church was switching from grape juice to wine

for communion, but he had made a promise to God that he wouldn't drink alcohol anymore.

Adriel responded to his question, and today we have a follow-up voicemail from a listener

named Diane.

I was calling in regards to an answer that I heard Adriol give to the caller about drinking the wine for communion.

And I mean no disrespect, but I just wanted to point out what Paul said in Romans 14 about conscience when it comes to eating and drinking.

It sounds as though this young man made a decision prayerfully in the Lord that he would not drink.

If it goes against his conscience to do it and he doesn't feel convicted because of it,

therefore he should not do that.

It also says that when you partake of the bread and the wine, you don't have to.

That's my interpretation of it.

Anyway, thank you so much.

Thank you for your thoughtful question and also for just showing concern for your brother.

I mean, what a great question we received yesterday about whether or not we should be taking the Lord's Supper with wine or with grape juice.
