1 | alcohol scripturally wrong? | Eph 5:18 | DocTrinsograce | 203689 | ||
Hi, Hoppy... I have had the pleasure of taking communion with brethren who encouraged the use of wine in their observance. In almost every case they also offered grape juice for those whose conscience made it difficult to imbibe even a small amount of wine. I always thought that that was especially kind and compassionate. My post was pretty clear, I think, in that I was speaking of how I -- individually and particularly -- dealt with the question in my own life. If it wasn't clear, then I hope that this paragraph makes it so. Just because a thing is lawful, doesn't always make it prudent. Nevertheless, it is likely that I am simply the weaker brother. Perhaps the Lord will see fit to bring me to a greater maturity in His own time. In Him, Doc |

Doc, For what it's worth, I think your post was biblically sound and shows a godly wisdom. And the context and message was clear as I see it. In contrast, offering practices of a local church or something we enjoy doing as justification is neither biblical nor is there a hint of godly wisdom in it nor is this the measure of truth and godliness. I'm not debating the original question here nor do I take a position on the practice of the church in subject here but rather pointing out the danger in attempting to establish biblical truth based on what a local church practices. The practices and teachings of churches today are riddled with ungodliness and false teachings and certainly can't be trusted as our measure. Perhaps the mark in question is different all together therefore it only appears to some you have missed it :-) Steve |
