Subject: Don't understand Jesus's view on alcohol |
Bible Note: 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 |
