Subject: making wine.Did Jesus make a mistake. |
Bible Note: Greetings John! I won't recover previous ground my friend, but I do have some practical questions for you. I am a pastor. At what point can I tell a member in my congregation that he is drunk? Does God go by Indiana State Law to determine drunkeness? Exactly how much is 'too much'? Is alcohol God given or the product of decay? Is the drinking of fermented liquids the proper use? I ask these questions because the position that drinking is okay as long as it is not done to excess creates some rather large difficulties for a pastor and an individual. Does God really leave us in the ambigious position of possibly committing a sin by being drunk but never really knowing if we have reached that point or not? I know what adultery is! I know what stealing is? But, exactly what is drunkness and when do I say when? :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
