Retxar, I say this with nothing but love for you, but you seem to be missing the point despite a myriad of applicable verses being revealed that have shed light on this matter. Ask yourself this: are your objections to the scriptures we've cited based on other scriptures, or your own objections, and understanding? Take care, -Rob |

2 | making wine.Did Jesus make a mistake. | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 68571 | ||
I object to alcohol consumption personally, and also to anyone that cares to ask, on the grounds that it is forbidden in scripture for kings, priest, and prophets (Pro 31:4, Lev 10:9, Isa 28:7, Eze 44:21), and thus NT believers (Rev 1:6, Rev 5:10, Rev 20:6, Isa 61:6, 1Pe 2:5). Why would I want to risk being disqualified for that? Why would I want to put a flammable liquid in my body, which outside an alcoholic beverage container has the word “poison” written on it, a skull and cross bones, the 1-800 poison control hotline number, and the urgent instructions to call 911 and get to the nearest hospital emergency room pronto in case of ingestion? How much sense does that make? Did God really design the human body to endure such abuse? If I assume (falsely) that all references in scripture to “wine” are referring to the fermented fruit of the vine that contains alcohol, as you have, I can clearly see the point you are trying to make. However, when I do that, I have conflicting scripture to sort out that I do not know how to handle. How do you deal with that? do not be drunk with wine but be filled with the Spirit! retxar |

Retxar, you, like me, have probably heard all the "good reasons" for tipping the bottle -- things like being socialable, unwinding, being able to relax at the end of a tough day at the office, and even that tired old claim that it promotes health (THAT takes a while for them to explain!). And then there's the argument that the "responsible" use of alcohol as a beverage won't lead to addiction (alcoholism). But no alcoholic I've ever seen deliberately set out to become one. And I've worked with heavy drinkers, problem drinkers, and alcoholics. There is no group that I know of who are better at denial than boozers. They deny they have any problem with the sauce. They're like the guy standing at a bar guzzling one beer after another. Said he: "My altake of incohol doesn't really bither me a bot, but it does seem the drunker I stand here the longer I get." --Hank | ||||||
