Subject: making wine.Did Jesus make a mistake. |
Bible Note: 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 |
