1 | Did Jesus ever drink wine? | Matt 11:19 | Val | 215984 | ||
Dear MJH, Did you read the article by Norman Geisler. If he indeed wrote it the first sentence in which he says "Many wine-drinking [so-called] "Christians"" stopped me from caring to read the rest. It is this attitude that turns people off from the abstinence crowd. From last I heard salvation was by grace through Christ alone not whether a christian had a glass of wine with dinner. This attitude is the same attitude some of the Pharisees took with our Lord. A holier than thou attitude. It is very unbecoming especially for Mr. Geisler if he indeed wrote this article. |

Val, Yes I did catch that too. I was more interested in historical evidence than attitude. Also, I simply do not have a "dog in this fight" so-to-speak. I just don't care much about it to get into the fray. My personal impression is that if a church desires to be alcohol free, I am perfectly fine with this. I also think if you join that church you are obligated to follow what you signed up for. But they would be much better served if they didn't attempt to prove it from the Bible as being a hard and fast "law" all Christians should follow. Doing so puts them in a theological corner they can't get out of. While there is a part of me that would love to draw them into a discussion and then back them into a corner and watch them squirm, I don't think it would be profitable. As far as anyone on this forum whom I have spoken with about the issue, I have seen only grace. Maybe others I haven't spoken to (and the links provided) use terms such as "so-called Christians" or apostates, but that doesn't reflect the discourse I’ve seen from this forum. MJH |

Thank God there will be no denominational divisions in Heaven, only those who have agreed upon their faith in the precious atoning blood of Jesus Christ. - Source: From the book, “What People Ask About The Church,” by Dale A. Robbins. |
