1 | Can a deacon drink wine with dinner? | 1 Tim 3:3 | reformedreader | 2961 | ||
rwash, The qualifications for a Deacon in 1 Tim. 3:3 do not forbid him from drinking wine, it only disqualifies him if he is an abuser (addicted) to wine. "When" one has a glass of wine I think to be irrelavent. "Why" one desires a glass of wine I think to be very relavent. I would also think that any church who raises its standards above that of the clear and unambiguous testimony of Holy Scripture has more with which to be concerned than a Deacon who has an occassional glass of wine. Keeping the law is not the same as re-creating the law, which is what the Pharisees did and for what Christ condemned them. Sam Hughey |

2 | Can a deacon drink wine with dinner? | 1 Tim 3:3 | rwash | 2975 | ||
Sam, Thanks for your reply. Keeping the "law" has everuthing to do with what you call the law. Ten Commandments (which is what the 'law' is based on) no problem. Deuternomy, Leviticus, etc. were given to show mankind right from wrong and to lead them to Christ, who is the final authority........ There is no contadiction between what Jesus taught and modeled and what God wanted for his people. Grace supplanted work as the answer to finding favor with God.... |

3 | Can a deacon drink wine with dinner? | 1 Tim 3:3 | reformedreader | 2979 | ||
rwash, Thanks for responding but I think somehting has been missed in our communication. I merely presented what 1 Timothy 3:3 correctly states about the qualification for a Deacon and the consumption of wine. I also stated that churches have no authority from God to create standards not already created in Holy Scripture. I don't understand your response about a contradiction between what Jesus taught and what God wanted for His people. Perhaps you could explain that and also what you meant by "Grace supplanted(?) work as the answer to finding favor with God." Thanks, Sam Hughey |
