Subject: Can a deacon drink wine with dinner? |
Bible Note: 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 |
