It gives it purpous which is otherwise quite contirved. I have a problem with that. It contradicts what we know from early writings. For example, when Communion is discussed by Paul, the very thought of becoming drunk on communion wine was scandalous. Since his letters were reverently copied and passed by the early church, its hard to believe that he would not either 1) accept the practice or 2) attack those that teach that this practice was correct. Rather, he simply mentions that he heard some folks were doing it, and was shocked that they would do such a bad thing.
