:The character of Leon C. Field's argument for total abstinence based on citing the example of Jesus Himself is summarily exemplified on page 85 of '''''Oinos: a discussion of the Bible wine question''''' where he states:
::"So we may conceive that on this solemn occasion our Lord, acting as the ''archioinochoos'', took the purple clusters and pressed their rich juice into the cup, suiting, as he did so, the action to the word, and saying : 'This is my blood in the New Testament which is being poured out for you.' "
:(After which he set aside on the table as refuse [''fœces''] the pulp of the grapes he had just squeezed into the cup.)
:Leon C. Field states as scientific fact that alcohol is never found in nature, that it is the result of corruption and decay, that it is always a poison, destructive to human tissue, that God never created it, that it is solely the artificial and unnatural product of corrupt human activity opposed to the holiness of God, and that rabbis from the time of Moses to the present day have universally forbidden the use of alcoholic wine in the celebration of the Passover, because the Law of Moses forbids the offering of products of fermentation (of leavening, yeast) to the Lord. Therefore Jesus, whom no one can convict of sin, never sinned by providing opportunity to sin by promoting and providing intoxicating wine and used only freshly squeezed grape juice on the night of his Last Supper.
