1 | Don't understand Jesus's view on alcohol | Prov 20:1 | Morant61 | 85273 | ||
Greetings Earnest! Thanks for the participation! Someone brought up communion a long time ago, and I was quite surprized when I did some research and discovered that the communion cup is never 'explicitly' called wine. I have freely admited that there is not a single verse which explicitly and plainly says that we should never ever drink alcohol. However, the opposite is also true. So, my question to John was simply why I would be considered as going beyond the text while someone who holds the opposite view (based upon implication) is being true to the text! Well, I have to go to work! See you later! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

2 | Don't understand Jesus's view on alcohol | Prov 20:1 | Emmaus | 85280 | ||
Tim, Another point to consider is why new wine bursts old wine skins.The reason new wine bursts old wineskins is because new wine is fermenting and creating gases that stretch the old wineskins which have lost their flexibility and ability to stretch. Therefore the old wineskins burst, whereas new wineskins stretch and expand. Emmaus |

3 | Don't understand Jesus's view on alcohol | Prov 20:1 | Earnest | 85288 | ||
Hi Emmaus, Are you not saying that new wine is in process of becoming alcohol? I understand the analogy here to infer that we ought to be prepared for the stretching and expansion that takes place when we properly house the New Wine of the Spirit, whose nature is to cause us to ever expand and increase... sometimes in a rather sudden manner. |
