Biblical Communion Bread?
Our church uses good ol' Matzo bread and has for a long time. We get low on Matzo now and then and someone has to go to the store. We always have plain unsalted, but if I get called to go on a 'Matzo run' I have other choices: Saltine, Thin Tea, Whole Wheat, Egg, Yolk, Yolk Free, etc. Which ones are biblical and all? Discuss

Christians and Alcohol
Jesus drank wine along with his disciples. Proverbs and other books of the Bible talk about the assets of drinking wine. However there is a fine line between having a beer and drinking with the intent of getting drunk. Intentionally getting drunk is the sin. Discuss here.

Are You Responsible for Sins in Dreams While You Sleep?
Am I responsible for the sins I do in my dreams? Or is it out of my control and therefore not something I'm doing or necessarily wanting to do? Discuss here.

Communism vs. Christianity
Most people who think they want that don't realize that's what it is, they just think that the government should be the one to provide everything for them as if they are children. What they don't realize is that this takes away freedom and leaves them at the mercy of the government. And thus we go back in time to the days of controlling kings, dictators and other life controlling forms of government. [Forum]
