Morph the meaning of a passage with a passage of different context from another book?

We must eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood (John 6:53)
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled (Matthew 5:6)

I don't know own what you're getting at here. I don't think anyone connects communion with the beatitudes.

Christian leaders have a history of doing that with the Bible, altering it to justify their claims.

Alcohol is a sin? Jesus drank wine.
I believe drinking to be drunk is a sin.

Not even that, it's the way you act while drunk that can be a sin. At least that's how it was taught in my denomination as a kid

Only if you continuously tell yourself that you're drinking the blood of Christ.

I don't think the Bible says alcohol is a sin, drunkenness is the sin. Growing up Methodist the church discouraged alcohol in a better safe than sorry sort of way against alcoholism. A pastor of mine actually had issues with my dad drinking but it was because he used it as an excuse to never be home. Even so dad was never excommunicated from the church or refused communion (not that he went much anyway).

This is what I'm talking about.
The other day someone brought up the great flood that killed mankind
the response from someone else was 'you have to break a few eggs to make an omelette'
and I'm sure there can be found a passage to support that. This 'someone' was a pastor

The vast majority of Christian cults are basically that ASiP conspiracy meme but with random Bible pages all over the board.

Arguably most Christian apologia is the same thing but with greek/Hebrew dictionaries instead

In another kind of church you can become persona non grata because you 'backslid'. Alcohol is backsliding. Even pepperoni is.
it's not excommunication but it is really bad and sort of permanent because people talk and these people tell all their friends. It's a form of shunning.
