Subject: making wine.Did Jesus make a mistake. |
Bible Note: "Reformer Joe and I have been around this pole a few times and each time I believe I?m able to prove what Jesus made at the wedding of Cana would not be considered wine by today?s standards." What you haven't been able to show me is how anyone could possibly get drunk off of New Testament wine as you portray it to be. If it is so harmless, how can the apostles be accused of being full of sweet wine when they start speaking in other tongues? Why does Ephesians 5:23 tell us not to be drunk with wine if the alcoholic content of wine was so close to nothing? And why would being addicted to much "grape juice" be a disqualification for an elder (1 Timothy 3:3; Titus 1:7)? Ed, I know your bad history with the stuff and praise God from delivering you from your association with it. And, trust me, I would completely be a Romans 14:21 kind of guy around you. I would hope that you would be a Romans 14:3 person toward me. --Joe! |
