last supper question

[catholicsaint]

I recently read that the early christans who attended the last supper for our lord Jesus Christ were drunk. The part that caught my attention was " some had not eaten and others where drunk. Sorry i dont have source or specific part of bible where it was mentioned. But i know it was what Saint Paul noticed. Can someone who knows about this explain please ?

Did Jesus correct them for being drunk ? I got the impression he did not. I thought being drunk was a mortal sin. Would i be right in saying the father sent his son not to judge the world. But to teach the world ?

My understanding is when Jesus returns to the world again , its for complete judgment and not to teach like he did first time around.

When Jesus came as man, was the father looking down from heaven ? Is this correct ?

I did a word search on BibleGateway.com (A great source for finding passages or phrases in the scriptures) and could not find a sentance or passage that specifically read the way you posted the question, but perhaps this thread will answer some of your questions… Were the apostles drunk when Christ was in the Mt. of Olives?

Is drinking a sin? No, but drinking beyond reason to excess and losing control of oneself is. Were the Apostles drunk or slightly inebriated or simply in the sedative state of alcohol consumption? There is no clear scriptural reference to any such state.

Yes, Jesus came to instruct and to teach. He cam to establish His Church and the hierarchy of the church and assure that His teaching would be faithfully handed sown for generation upon generation through the apostles and their successors.

And yes, “He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.”

Is the Father looking down from Heaven? Well, in general the Father is always looking down from Heaven but scripturally it would appear that he had His eye on His Son at all times:

Luke 3:21-22
21 Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heaven was opened, 22 and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven, “You are my Son, the Beloved, with you I am well pleased.”

You mentioned the Last Supper in your post. No, the apostles were not drunk.

Sometime after that, after Jesus’ Resurrection and Ascension, when the early Christians met, they met in houses and also brought regular food to have together. St. Paul was admonishing them for drinking too much wine (St. Paul was not talking about the consecrated wine which is the Precious Blood.) He was referring to the lack of good behavior on the part of those who met together for the Eucharist and also to share food together. (I don’t know the format for the Mass of the early Christians.)

I will try to find the scripture that tells about that.

Peace,

Dorothy PS…St. Paul was not there at the Last Supper.

At the above site I clicked on to get to 1 Corinthians, Chapter 11 and if you go down to verse 20 and read from there you will see that St. Paul is admonishing some early Christians for their behavior at a house-church.

Have you ever attended a Seder? A lot of wine is consumed. It wouldn’t surprise me if the disciples were somewhat inebriated. They did fall asleep in the garden, after all!

It’s unclear from scripture how drunk the apostles were, but if they were intentionally intoxicated when they received the Eucharist, that is two mortal sins, and consequently they are suffering eternally in hell. Scripture makes no mention of them going to confession or receiving absolution. Sad!

I believe the OP is mixing up two different gatherings? In of the sentences in that message he/she mentions St. Paul. Of course Paul was not at the last supper. That is why I mentioned in my response about 1 Corinthians 11:20 and ff, about when St. Paul admonished the early Christians when they came together in a house-church to celebrate the Eucharist, and also share a meal. They were not behaving as they should have, and some had gotten drunk.

So, it seems that the OP is mixing up two different gatherings.
