An investigator who came to church for the first time after studying for a few weeks, asked in investigators class why the Priest had to say the Sacrament prayer twice. It was explained that the prayer had to be word perfect because it was a revealed prayer and it was sacred.
He pointed out that the Book of Mormon says "wine" in the prayer as given by Christ and that the D&C used "wine" in that revealed prayer also.
And then he told us that if we could demand a young man to say it perfectly, but change the words AND use water, then we could not be trusted with other sacred things, and then he walked out never to return.
We all just kinda sat there for a little while.
