Sorry to be so slap-dash -- I'll rather answer later and properly God willing. When I have more time.

Gerhard, I have someone who is very dear to me who is of Jewish descent, and this person confirms that it has always been 4 cups of wine as DHK affirms also. The 5th, The Cup of Elijah, was set at an empty space anticipating the prophet.
This custom is still practiced in many Jewish homes.
Your friend either isn't jewish...or you are not being totally honest with us. Jews do drink alcoholic wine at Passover (I have a family member who's jewish), and this has been the custom for thousands of years.His Blood Spoke My Name said:This person, although of Jewish descent, was born again many years ago.
Being born again, this person has told me that God revealed that alcohol is strictly forbidden in the life of a true Child of God.
My friend also affirms that if each person in a room full of people were to drink 4 cups of wine, and that wine were alcoholic, someone in that room would surely get drunk drinking that much wine. My friend affirms that non-alcoholic wine was indeed served in the many occasions of Seder attended.
My friend is very much Jewish. And I am being totally honest with you. It has not been the custom to use alcoholic wine in the Seder for thousands of years. It is you who is not being totally honestwebdog said:Your friend either isn't jewish...or you are not being totally honest with us.

This is a flat out lie and you know it.It has not been the custom to use alcoholic wine in the Seder for thousands of years.
Not over the course of two plus hours they wouldn't.My friend also affirms that if each person in a room full of people were to drink 4 cups of wine, and that wine were alcoholic, someone in that room would surely get drunk drinking that much wine.
How would have wine been unfermented...without yeast? Pasteurization had yet been invented.Eliyahu said:I didn't think about the wine strictly before. But it seems that the wine at the Last Supper would have been unfermented, without yeast.
I noticed Jews eliminate Beers as well during the Days of Unleavened Bread.
I think you continue to post to convince yourself you are right. Those who stick to true judaism drink alcoholic wine, period...they are the "conservatives".His Blood Spoke My Name said:Ok, let me rephrase that. There are some who are very liberal who do use alcoholic wine. Then there are those who are very conservative who do not. My friend affirmed that they were not made to drink alcoholic wine in the Seder.
The alcoholic wine contained leaven, which was forbidden. They would get anything with leaven in it out of the house completely. Alcohol was not used in the Seder.

Gerhard Ebersoehn said:GE:
I have no swords to cross with Judaism, or about the Seder. I only argue that the Last Supper was not the Passover meal yet, but was one day before it, and that therefore oridary wine was used at the Last Supper ... and that therefore one cannot make deductions that drinking wine is something Christ would not have done.
